Amsterdam-Canal-Cruise.jpg.optimal.jpg

Aamsterdam

March 25th - April 7th

We’re gearing up for a classic Dutch adventure just outside Amsterdam—a Tulip Boat and Bike tour that feels straight out of a postcard. The plan is to cruise gently through the canals and countryside by boat, then hop on bikes to wind through vibrant tulip fields bursting with color in every direction. It’s the perfect mix of laid-back and active, with fresh air, endless blooms, and those iconic flat paths that make cycling feel effortless. If all goes right, we’ll be gliding past windmills, stopping for photos we’ll swear don’t even look real, and soaking up spring in the most Dutch way possible.

November 16th - November 25th

We’re setting our sights on Denmark, with Copenhagen as our home base—a city that feels equal parts storybook charm and sleek Scandinavian cool. From there, the plan is to explore cobblestone streets, colorful harbor views, and cozy cafés before branching out on day trips to see more of the countryside and nearby coastal towns. Think bikes, bakeries, castles, and just enough hygge to make us consider never leaving—an easygoing mix of culture, scenery, and that effortlessly stylish Danish vibe.

Sweden

April 28th - May 19th

We’re planning a stay in Sweden with Stockholm as our home base, a city spread across islands that feels both historic and effortlessly modern. The idea is to wander its cobblestone streets, explore the waterfront, and soak in that clean, crisp Scandinavian vibe, while also taking time to branch out and see more of the surrounding landscapes. Between the culture, the scenery, and the relaxed pace, it’s shaping up to be a beautifully balanced Nordic escape.

We’re hitching a ride with our friend up to Northampton for a stay on their family farm, ready to soak in the beauty of the English countryside—assuming, of course, we don’t get roped into too many “character-building” farm chores. Here’s hoping our version of farm life leans more toward sipping tea with scenic views and less toward wrestling stubborn sheep or chasing rogue chickens. But hey, either way, it’ll be an adventure!

Madrid, Spain

Februrary 24th - March 12th

Madrid will be our home base, the vibrant heart of Spain from which our adventure will unfold!  But we’re not stopping there—get ready for thrilling overnight escapades to Seville, and to Barcelona.  Each trip promises a new chapter of discovery, from historic landmarks to hidden gems, all woven together by the spirit of Spanish adventure.

Bill&MaryKay.jpg

We are William and Mary Kay. This is our blog about the next journey in our lives. We have always shared a love of travel and have visited many parts of the world, but there is so much more to see and experience. After separating ourselves from the obligations of work and possessions we are free to walk this beautiful planet and immerse ourselves in the rich cultures and meet the wonderful people with whom we share this planet. We are both interested in art, history, archaeology and culture and hope to volunteer to keep and maintain historical and environmental sites.  We live active lives and enjoy, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, hiking, snowshoe hiking, biking, zip lining and are up for almost any activity. This blog is to let our current and future friends know where we are and what we are doing. We are simply lost in the right direction.
