Hi Friends! I warned y’all last time that I was a little much. Apparently, I neglected to mention that I occasionally lose entire days. Not in any alarming sense. I know where I am. I know who I am. I just apparently had absolutely no idea what day it was. Here’s what happened. I'm meeting a local friend for lunch this week. Jim and I had it on the calendar, I knew it was coming, and somewhere in the middle of everything else I have going on, I became completely convinced that lunch was...

Somehow I always find fun and interesting coffee shops....this is one I found in Ocala, FL Hey there! Last week I told you that things were going to look a little different around here. You'd still get the packing. The travel. The history. The food. The wine. The historical rabbit holes that begin with one innocent question and somehow cost me four hours of my life. But I also told you something else: You were going to get to know me. I may come to regret that promise. Because if we're going...

Hey there! If you've been a part of this community for a long time or a short time, I realized there 's someone I haven't introduced you to. A lot of you found me because of packing. Some of you came because of travel. Some because of St. Augustine. And some of you have been around long enough to remember completely different versions of BetsiWorld. But I realized something recently. You know a lot about what I know. You know I can pack a suitcase. You know I travel. You know I write. You...

Hi friends, There are trips you spend months planning. And then there are the ones your soul starts planning before you ever open a travel website. Lately, I've caught myself thinking about one thing. Not Europe. Not Alaska. Not some once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Just the same little three-night cruise Jim and I have taken before. Same ship. Same cabin. Same balcony. Why? Because for three days I don't have to decide what's for dinner. I don't have to make an itinerary. I don't have to figure...
