A Night at the D-Day Beaches
Tours of the D-day beaches are popular, but ours was a bit different. It was the summer of 2011, 77 years after D-Day. We sailed across on our 27' boat from the Solent in England. We didn’t quite follow in the wakes of all those ships and brave soldiers, sailors and airmen. Our route was simpler.

Top Ten Reasons to Ride Public Transportation When You Travel
A short story... Image by David Mark from PixabayImage by David Mark from Pixabay Image by David Mark from Pixabay It was 1982. I had never flown on an airplane, traveled alone, or been to a foreign country other than Canada. I was eighteen. But in May of ’82, I boarded a plane that flew from Buffalo, New York to Los Angeles, California. Then, I flew from LA to Tokyo, Japan. My father, who had traveled during his time in the USAF, told me not to — under any circumstances — leave the airport. I called my dad and mom when I was on the ground in LA, in the airport. And then, I left the concourse and proceeded to board a bus, blatantly disregarding his advice.

Errol Flynn's Swimming Pool
Engine failure My boat’s gearbox had failed off Haiti while on passage from Cuba to the British Virgin Islands. There had been little wind overnight so couldn’t sail. We’d been making about 5 knots under engine when the gearbox gave up its ghost at about 05:00 hours. For several reasons Haiti was not a viable option for us to head for and we were becalmed for most of the day about 12 miles south of Île à Vache.

How to get paid to travel for free/low cost
Many of us love traveling, but most of us simply don’t have the funds to travel as much as we like for an extended period of time. After calculating the costs of taking some time off work (not everyone gets paid for vacation time), then prepping for travel like buying travel gear, getting the proper vaccinations, paying for visa fees, etc., then researching and budgeting for flights, accommodation, travel insurance, entertainment, food and even the Uber ride to the airport can quickly add up to be extremely costly; and you haven’t even left the country yet!

Solo travel can be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences a person can have. The freedom to explore new places, meet new people, and discover new cultures is truly priceless.
