Explore. Dream. Discover.
Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss SLOWLY, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret ANYTHING that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

simply superb
Wonderful read :-). It definitely seems like a route worth following. I have just lauched a new travel site where fellow travelers can share routes using Google Waypoint API. You are most welcome to ad your interesting travel route and tips there. The URL is: http://rute.me/

Hope you had a wonderful and amazing trip to France this summer! Always interested to hear about what you saw, did, hotels you stayed in and what restaurants you went to in your travels. I am headed to Paris in September and would love to know what restaurants you visited and which ones you would recommend. It would be much appreciated. Spending seven days in Paris. Looking forward to hearing from you when you have a chance. Thank you so much. Keep blogging, you have fans that want to hear from you!! All the best, Ann Solazzo
I did, Ann. Thank you so much! If you’d like to send me a private email, I’d be happy to share some hotel and restaurant tips.
I love your pictures! What kind of camera do you use?
Thank you so much! I have a Nikon D5300 and I use a Nikkor 18-200mm lens.
Thanks Deborah, Do you manually focus each shot? I am heading to Venice so I’ve been looking at your shots from Venice…they’re all perfectly in focus!
Occasionally, but most of the time I use auto focus. Happy travels in Venice! :-)
Hi Deborah: I see that you went to Austria and Switzerland this year! I went last year and as you will know they are very beautiful countries! Loved my time in Vienna and Hallstatt. I notice that you always post your photos on flickr but have not done so for this past trip. I was wondering if you will be posting your photos on flickr this year? I really enjoy looking at your photos. I plan to go back to Austria and would love to know what your saw in your travels. Thanks and I hope all is well and that your planning your next adventure! Best, Ann
Hi Ann: Yes, I had a wonderful trip to Austria and Switzerland this summer! I’ve finally gotten around to posting the pictures to Flickr. There is a link above, or you can use the direct link here:
