How does one balance the importance of living in the present with the need to prepare for the future?
Some people don’t contemplate this issue. They simply do what comes naturally – sometimes suffering the consequences of favoring one over the other.
Culture Worthy of Your Calendar: The ‘Start’ of Orlando’s Cultural Season

We're so excited to share where we'll be staying on our VERY last night in Ireland. Where else, but the Bunratty Castle Mews B&B? It's a traditional B&B in Bunratty on the Low road only 5 minutes from Shannon Airport, run by the VERY friendly Dolores and Garry O' Toole. When I called Dolores to make arrangements, it was as if I was talking with an old friend. We can't wait to come stay!
We've been searching and searching for the best luggage for our trip to Ireland and Scotland. I was overwhelmed by the great amount of choices, and a little confused as to quality of all the luggage we'd been looking at. THEN I found High Sierra Sport. I can't tell you how pleased I am - well, you'll see in the video below. We got two bags from the ATGO line - they are lightweight (always important), durable, and have TONS of innovative functionality. The Carryon Business Upright can hold my laptop, and there are tons of pockets.
I am so very happy to share the work of Jennifer Dooley, our August Photographer of the Month. She's a global traveler with an excellent photographic eye.
