Where will 2023 take you?

Seeing Southern

The ancient ruins of the colony Tarraco, founded in 218 BC. Spend the day in Tarragona, Spain, and walk the Roman Circus and if you’re lucky, you see the human pyramids.

We're always thinking, always dreaming. We're not adventurers at heart, but there's so much we want to see and experience. The adventure comes via the journey, the anticipation, the conversations, the feasting. So where do you want to go?
     With a world-wide pandemic in the rear-view mirror, never did we realize the intensity for our need to go. Our list has changed a bit; new things have been added that had never been in our sites. A STOP sign can do that to you.
     Here's our list and it is constantly changing. What's on your list?
