White Water Rafting, what was I thinking? It is work! I much prefer relaxing river rides!

Both the United States and Canada benefit from the spectacular falls. The Canadian Horseshoe Falls are the larger of the two sets of falls. The US Bridal Veil falls have their own uniqueness.

Key West Florida

Picture
No visit to Key West Florida is complete without going to the southernmost point in the continental US.

 

Picture
Emerald Lake is located in the Canadian province of the Yukon, to put it mildly it is breathtaking!

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco California, not gold but actually red in color.

Sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico

I have seen sunsets all around the world but none can compare to a sunset on Florida's gulf coast.

Puerto Vallarta Mexico

Picture
Hiking to waterfalls is done a little bit precariously in Mexico. It is even more challenging when the boards are wet from the constant rain!

Tobermoray Canada

Picture
Rock climbing is usually best done with the proper equipment, not with flip flops. So during this impromptu climb I removed my flip flops and climbed barefoot.

This is home, Lake Erie's south shore. Our sunsets are as good as anywhere in the world!  Scratch what I said about Florida's Gulf Coast sunsets!

The one and only Disney World, Orlando Florida

At some point during your travels you will need a hug!

The Biltmore Estate Asheville North Carolina

The Biltmore is the largest privately owned home in the United States, with 250 rooms including 43 bathrooms it is more than a little impressive.

A manatee at Crystal River on Florida's gulf coast

A curious manatee comes to our boat and rolls over to have it's tummy scratched. A snorkel trip here is considered one of the top animal encounters in the world!
