Episode 7: New Years In St. Johns January 2025 This New Year, we spent a week in St. John, a small, hilly part of the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. My husband and I had been there once before, 9 years ago, as part of a family trip to meet my brother’s fiancé’s family. […]
Episode 6: The Happiest Place on Earth?-October 2024

Episode 6: The Happiest Place on Earth? October 2024 My husband and I both have our individual memories of Disney World, from when we were kids. It was certainly different (way) back then. There were fewer parks, and fewer rides, and more characters walking around. And Disney certainly wasn’t a multi-day extravaganza full of on-site lodging, park hopping, […]
Episode 5: Family Traditions-September 2024

Episode 5: Family Traditions September 2024 Several years ago, I told my husband that we needed more family traditions. Don’t get me wrong, we had long standing traditions with my side of the family, and with my husband’s side of the family; but we didn’t have any real “just us” traditions… something that we created ourselves, […]
August 2024 Episode 4: The Cayman Islands

Episode 4: The Cayman Islands August 2024 I’ve been aware of the Cayman Islands my whole life. Which is much different than knowing the Cayman Islands; up until this summer, I’d never been there.

July 2024 Part 1: Spain Will Always Have My Heart

Spain will always have my heart July 2024 The place where I truly, TRULY, learned that I loved all things travel was in Spain. When I was a sophomore in college, I had the opportunity to study abroad, in Granada, Spain. That city is a home-away-from-home for me, and I have loved every single time […]
Episode 2-March 2024: Skiing, with Kids

Skiing With The Kids Episode 2: March 2024 Can we talk about skiing? Some people love it, some people hate it, and some people are so worried about falling that they won’t try it. My husband and I reside firmly in the first category. I grew up skiing with my extended family on the East […]
Episode 1-February 2024: Traveling Through Life’s Changes: A Periodontist’s Tale of Wanderlust and Work

For as long as I can remember, I’ve longed for travel. Or, at least, the idea of travel, when the reality of it was neither under my control nor within my capabilities. The world is so vast, and ways of life so varying. Even as a child I knew I wanted to see and experience different parts of the world, as much as possible, first hand. I am, at heart, a nomad. The fact that I spent roughly thirty years of my life in school, and the balance of it building a periodontics practice, has limited my “nomadic” movement. But it hasn’t quelled my desire for movement, even if only temporary.
