Every Great Adventure... begins as a dream‪.‬ Donna Wickerham

Finally, we get to travel again! Listen in as Art and Donna discuss the first part of their trip while traveling in Ireland! From COVID restrictions to parking to their thoughts on B&Bs, listen in as they talk about their experiences while dining in a Killarney pub!

We're traveling again!  Now that we are fully vaccinated, we feel more comfortable venturing out and about. We started with some travel in the US this summer and are venturing internationally in the fall. Traveling post-pandemic will most likely present a few more obstacles than we are used to, but we'll jump through the hoops as we come to them. We'll wear masks as required, take tests when necessary, and have our vaccination cards ready, whatever it takes to get back to traveling.

Should you take studies that lead you to believe that cruises are detrimental to the environment at their word? Maybe a healthy dose of skepticism is in order. Join Donna as she takes a closer look at a couple of the scathing reports and also what cruise lines are doing to become more eco-friendly.
