MouseMap for Travel Stories

COVID slowed us down for a couple of years, and now a few health issues challenge us.  We're still traveling if not writing about it quite so much. Our goal in 2022 was get to all seven continents in one year... and we did it.

Going forward health issues may not allow us to travel.  No one can take away those memories though.  We hope all of you are well and staying safe... and that you find some inspiration here for YOUR future travels. 

Our MouseMap for travel stories is part two of our site map.

We really do want to help you find your way around the world...

...And we thought these travel stories could help by telling you some of the things we've encountered.  




The Mouse Site Map is more the “how to” of travel:

...tips on packing, planning, hotels, driving, health and preparation.



This page give you some stories about the places we’ve been…

Some itineraries we’ve used that we think worked well, and could work for you too.



The last few years, we’ve written pages about our travels each year.  This started as way to share with friends and family… but you, our readers, have become our friends, so lets start with those yearly recaps…

A few years ago, I wrote a travel article a day.  That was a bit much, and even though I wrote them I didn't always get them put up here.  Just for historical reference you can see what I wrote.

We hope our Site Map for Travel Stories has helped you find a destination.... one that you might want to visit.

Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it! Judy and Mark

Timely Tips

Summer Vacation
