We are participating in a Road Scholar program (look them up – they are great) and traveling around the coast.  We are staying in six cities and exploring each area over a 2.5 week period (June 19-July 5). Follow our adventure and enjoy the photos and videos.

The Daily Adventures link takes you to our daily blog.  There is an entry for each day, titled by the tour day number, the date, and the key destinations.  The body of the entry begins with the official itinerary followed by our notes and an image or two.

The Photo / Video Galleries link drops down to reveal links to a gallery for each day of our adventures. These are individual Google Photos albums and will open in a new tab or window.

Here is a map showing our itinerary and route.
