Antarctica Expedition with Space Legends

Join me in reliving my experience on a space themed voyage in Antarctica with fellow space enthusiasts. The video and photos include comments by our speakers on board. The space legends included: William Shatner, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, astronauts: Jose Hernandez, Scott Kelly, and Charlie Duke, along with Ann Curry and Celine Cousteau. We explored several islands via wet and dry landings. Of course, we could never get tired learning about and watching those adorable penguins amongst the icebergs surrounding us.

I Attended the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Auction Preview

Beginning in grade school I have been fascinated with the JFK family. When the opportunity to attend the auction of Mrs. Onassis belongings presented itself, I jumped at the chance. However, it wasn't QUITE that easy. I take you along on the journey when my mother and I attended the auction preview at Sotheby's in NYC and witnessed the joy, insanity, and total abandon of all fiscal responsibility that was the auction.

Travel Log: A Summer Car Trip Through France

Come with me to relive a summer driving trip through eastern and southern France. The route starts at Charles De Gaulle Airport and heads east to the highly Germanic Alsace Region. We turn south to visit the magnificent French/Italian Alps and then reenter France to visit lavender fields in full bloom. We spend several days in Provence where Van Gogh painted many of his masterpieces. No trip to France is complete without wine, so we head into the Burgundy region for its famous vintage. The final stop is the Loire Valley to visit beautiful Chateaux from the 16th century.
