San Francisco, The City by the Bay ~

August 5, 2013 by Patti No Comments

This post was shared in collaboration with One Road at a Time ~

Tony Bennett crooned the words, I Left My Heart in San Francisco and immortalized the city by the bay for generations to come.  There is no other city in the world that comes close to what San Francisco has to offer.  The Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge are two of the most spectacular bridges and are within minutes of each other; with the Golden Gate welcoming all those who travel by land and sea to San Francisco.

Why Travel Insurance Should Be an Essential Part of Your Travel Plans

Annual holidays are a time for you and your family to get away and enjoy one anothers company. However, they can also be a time when you experience emergencies you were not expecting. That’s why travel insurance is a good idea whenever you go on holiday.

Route 66: On the Road in Missouri

August 3, 2013 by Patti 10 Comments

We left St. Louis about 2:30 in the afternoon heading southwest toward The Show Me State of Missouri.  We had a difficult time trying to pick up Route 66.  My pal, at the restored gas station, in Illinois was right when he said Illinois has the best signage.

Picture Paris – Revenge is a Dish Best Served French ~

July 31, 2013 by Patti 6 Comments

Paris – just the very word conjures up images of lights, love and historical fascination.  Is there anyone who does not instantly recognize the Eiffel Tower or the name, Marie Antoinette?  The pastry and food, the river Seine, the Louvre, it’s all there – Paris is, well… Paris!

Julie & Julia – Bon appetit!

July 28, 2013 by Patti 20 Comments

Bon appetit! – two words that simply mean good appetite or enjoy your meal – but to the world at large these two little words are synonymous with one person – Julia Child.  And admit it, you can’t say it without adding your own impersonation of Julia’s voice!  Bon appetit!  Go on… say it – you know you want to!

Route 66: St. Louis & The Mississippi River

July 26, 2013 by Patti 2 Comments

St. Louis, MO.  Leaving Illinois in the late afternoon we arrived in St. Louis around 7:30 ish.  I was driving so I couldn’t look too closely, but I can still see the image in my mind. The arch in the distance and the Mississippi River, two more firsts for us and I remember thinking, “This is where it all started; the westward movement of those who came before us.”

Sango – Plantain Stew ~

July 24, 2013 by Patti 4 Comments

We had the pleasure of having a lovely woman stay in our cottage for a week.  Through our conversations I discovered she was a chef on a private yacht, which was docked in San Diego during the time she spent here in Ashland.  The yacht travels the world at different intervals and Cat told me she tries to cook, for the owner of the yacht, a selection of local dishes whenever she can.  When I talked to her about the blog, she offered to share the following recipe.

Route 66 & President Lincoln

July 21, 2013 by Patti 4 Comments

 I am – as I have admitted on more than one occasion – a lover of history.  There’s just no denying it.  Call me a nerd if you must, but I believe as a society we cannot move forward if we do not understand how far we’ve come.  Walking in the path of those who came before us, such as President Lincoln, has always held a special fascination for me.
