While I’m still sad that we didn’t get to see the fall colors in New England, I wouldn’t trade our Southwest adventures for anything.

Thanks for reading this travelogue!

... vacation, we knew we wouldn't be going to Europe because we had been there for our honeymoon. Instead, my wife (Dianne) wanted to go to Boston. She had been to Boston a few years ago and had very fond memories of that visit. I mentioned going to Reading, Pennsylvania to see my friend, and former travel partner, Tom Marihart. Once I mentioned visiting Tom, she wanted to add a trip to visit a friend in Binghamton, New York. So, we planned a trip that would allow us to both visit ...
