Beautiful view of Boothbay from the Footbridge!

I thoroughly enjoyed my summer break in Maine! My lovely niece, Tay, planned her wedding for high season in Boothbay Harbor. My daughter was her “Matron of Honor” (do we really use the word “matron” anymore?) so it was fun to travel with Alexandra and her husband, Mike, and my grandboy, 7 months old! While I was traveling for personal reasons, I just had to take a little extra time and check out the area, right? I also met up with old friends. I love meeting up with old friends and finding out it is as though no time has passed! What could be better? Old friends are a true gift.

Over 50 Travel Groups can have outstanding experiences on an Antarctica Expedition, and I should know, because I have been on one! I traveled with a friend to Antarctica in 2017 on Lindblad’s Explorer, Antarctica: The White Continent, and we were both over 50.

Our Planet’s Plastic Problem, can an old dog learn new tricks? I think we can!

We have a problem. A plastic problem. It is a huge problem, and if you aren’t aware of that, you must be living under a rock! I don’t want to go through the data and bore you. Suffice it to say that our planet is overwhelmed with plastic on land and sea. Did you know that animals and humans are ingesting micro-plastics? Microplastics are small plastic pieces less than five millimeters, often much smaller. They are in our food supply. Some estimate that we eat the equivalent of a credit card a week! If you think that is good for the human body, think again! You can google the data yourself, it is fact, and you cannot argue with facts. If you are a parent or a grandparent and care about your children, learn to teach an old dog new tricks!
