Travel through our eyes!
February 14, 2020 – Valentine’s Day gift to ourselves.
A flight on a Ford Tri-Motor. The first commercial airliner. Recall the energy, passion, and excitement of the Roaring ’20s by flying aboard the Ford Tri-Motor. Known as the first luxury airliner, the Ford Tri-Motor redefined world travel and marked the beginning of commercial flight.

We love the brunch at The Breakers so every few years we decide to stay there and indulge. The Breakers is a beautiful hotel very elegant, and the people who work there are friendly. They have a bar that is a fish tank which is cool and different.
These are some of the fabulous Hotels we were lucky enough spend time in.
