The Maldives

Velavaru from the air

The trp to the Maldives was my latest annual birthday trek.  For the past 5 years I have made an effort to be in a new, preferably exotic, spot for my birthday.  It was the Maldives this year, and it definitely hit the mark.  The water was warm, the people friendly, the beach was white, and the champagne was cold.

Just arrived

Velavaru

Uninhabited island. We snorkled the circumference of this island and experienced some of the best snorkeling in the world.

Welcome.

I am a travel junkie.  It seems to run in my family, no doubt inherited from my parents.  My father immigrated from Norway in the 1950s with little more than one red accordion and the desire to reach America.  My mother’s grandmother immigrated from Sweden in the 1890s, one of the millions of immigrants to pass through Ellis Island in that decade alone.  I have been lucky enough to be able to pursue my passion for travel and continue to do so.  I have had the great opportunity to share these experiences with all of the members of my immediate family and some very dear friends.  This website was created so I can share my favorite travel photos, as well as the memories.    LMN
