We have 3 simple rules of travel that we believe can help anyone have a more enjoyable in-transit experience. Be Early, Pack Light, and don’t try to see Everything in one day or one trip. 1. Don’t Be in a Hurry, Be Early You wanna know who isn’t having fun […]
Split is truly an ancient city. When we say ancient, we mean first century ancient. While Diocletian’s Palace, the major site most closely attributed to the foundation of Split, was built in 305 A.D., the city itself is believed to have been established by the Greeks as early as the […]
From the moment we stepped off the train, almost 7 hours earlier than planned thanks to JJ’s slick train maneuvering in Marseille, we could tell that Menton was our kind of town. We came to Menton from Marseille via the SNCF rail, France’s major train line. This was the […]
Marseille was founded by the Greeks in 600 B.C. Despite it’s Vieux-Port or “Old Port” being one of the major ports in all of France, Marseille barely cracks the Top 10 of most popular or most visited French cities. Tourists who choose to sleep on Marseille are missing out on […]
Geneva is widely known as both a banking hub and the watch making capital of the world. It sits ideally and picturesquely on Lake Geneva (or Lac Leman), in the shadow of the Swiss Alps and Mont Blanc. When you are on the road as we set out to be […]

Mallorca is the name of the island and territory in Spain that we were visiting, and Palma is the name of the capital and port city of Mallorca. That may sound basic enough, and you may be asking “Len, why are you mentioning such basic facts?” The reason is that […]
Cartagena is another Spanish coastal city that is steeped in history. Founded in 220 B.C., it has a great deal of cultural significance to Spain’s history, and also plays a large part of Roman history. One of the major landmarks of Cartagena that we did at least walk by is […]
We are Len and JJ, happily married from Fort Worth, TX, and in April 2019, we took a year off from work to travel the world. Our epic adventure spanned 6 Continents, 40 Countries, 100 Cities, 75,000 Miles, and over 300 Consecutive Days of travel by land, air, and sea.
