We definitely saw lokum shops everywhere, and by the end of our trip we were expert at dodging the carpet salesmen. But we also found dark blue glass circles with lighterContinue Reading
Taner, one of the front desk staff at our hotel, was loaded with great tips. The one I liked best was when he suggested we check out the Basilica Cistern and look for Medusa. I’m a huge Greek and Roman mythology fan. Medusa immediately piqued my interest. We got directionsContinue Reading
I never expected that I’d be saying I was headed to Turkey, but that is where our latest adventure is leading us. I’m very excited because this will be my first time abroad. Europe has been on my list of places to travel to since I was able to keepContinue Reading

Two people have asked me recently, “I’ll be heading to south Florida soon. Know of any good haunted places?” {Smiles. Cracks knuckles.
