travelogue
It's all about the travel!
And possibly the food! We travel a bit and would like to share some thoughts and images from those travels in our travelogue.
This is somewhat just a collection of pictures from some of our travels. but I am adding some reviews and essays/thoughts as I have time. Who would have thought time would be an issue in retirement? 🤪

Collectively we have been many places
I used to travel for work... A lot!
Now that my wife and I have retired, we have made the conscious decision to travel even more! But together! And, this time, we will just be going where WE WANT TO GO :-)

Recording the Adventure!
I am posting pictures and videos, both on this website and on YouTube. I will transfer some of my old prints to digital and post them here as time allows.
I have been fascinated with photography and film since an early age. I even turned my closet into a darkroom when I was a kid. Later 8mm film captured my imagination, quickly followed by video media.
Over the years, I have had some very nice cameras (Olympus, Minolta, Canon, and Sony for the stills and Sony Pro for the video). But as I'm getting older, I've gotten a bit lazier (or smarter, depending on your point of view).
I've found that the Apple iPhone can acquire beautiful images and videos with great quality. Currently, I use my iPhone 14 Pro with a stabilizer (DJI) to acquire photos and video.
The edited versions are now going to YouTube@TsCruiseAndTravelMuse (T’s Cruise and Travel Muse).
