World Traveler, Writer & Photographer

A Baby Boomer who loves travel, travel writing, photography, teaching digital camera and photography, and sharing travel tips and stories.


Travel stories for boomers

I am a 50-something world traveler, writer and photographer. I am desperately in love with my husband, David, of 20 years. And I dearly love my grandchildren. I love New York City, too, almost as much as the aforementioned humans.

I write and teach for a living as I am semi-retired. I have done everything from being a rock and roll reporter to a private investigator. I have driven a milk truck and I have written and produced murder mystery theater.

I get bored easily and I hate liars. I love candid people and will spend time with almost anyone, especially strangers. I have chatted with the Mafia as easily as I chat with foreign children. I don't care who you are; as long as you are interested in sharing a part of yourself (in a captivating fashion), I will be an avid listener. So far, very few people in my travels, have disappointed me.

I design jewelery as a serious hobby, and I maintain an active web site: http://www.visualsbysheree.com. I am self-taught in most areas including digital photography and web design.

I have been an entrepreneur my whole life and I stand firmly on a work ethic of "give it all you've got, no matter how much it hurts."


Seniors Looking for Cheap Holiday Flights?  Tips for Making Money While Traveling!

Yes, Virginia, there are cheaper days to fly, especially during holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.  And if you plan your flight schedule to include connecting, instead of direct flights, you will save a bundle.



Do You Want to Really Experience New Orleans?

Yes, it's true. Bourbon Street, with its wild night life and questionable moral environment, is part of the New Orleans experience; but it isn't a true representation of this old American city. "The Big Easy" is much more complex than that.



Hurricane Katrina - New Orleans Nearly 3 Years After the Storm!

White travel trailers still sit parked in front of homes, many homes, in the New Orleans parishes ravaged by Hurricane Katrina back in August of 2005. Black holes hacked into the rooftops of houses attest to the stalwart ability of some to survive - even getting trapped inside their own homes.



Airport Security: What is allowed and not allowed in your carry-on baggage?

Guns, knives, hand grenades, alligators, and bottles of water — these things will be confiscated if you try to take them through American airport security. But what currently is allowed in your carry-on luggage?



How to Avoid Seasickness -- Treat it BEFORE it Happens!

Seasickness (sea sickness, sea-sickness, motion sickness), no matter how you spell it, still spells misery. And this common malady can steal your enjoyment of that long-awaited cruise ship vacation. But with a little precaution, you should be able to ride out even the roughest seas, with little discomfort. But you must plan in advance.


Spend Your Travel Dollars Wisely and  Take a Cruise!

Cruising is the best vacation value because, besides the obvious value for your dollar, cruising provides the three things necessary for outstanding vacation value: relaxation, adventure and attention to detail.



Go to South Texas to See One of the Best Zoos in North America!

The high-pitched shrieks and loud roars were blood-curdling. People ran from all corners of the zoo to see what the ruckus was all about. Was something or someone being killed?



Baby Boomer Retirement: A Life Filled with Boredom or Adventure?

Today's baby boomer retiree is a bionic retiree: younger, faster, healthier and more adventurous than the average retired person from past generations.



Baby Boomer Life Adventures: Celebrate Turning 50!

What's not to love? I could hardly wait to turn 50. And now I can hardly wait to turn 60.


Labor Day Travel: A Perfect Time for Baby Boomer Travel -- Make Your Plans Now

It's the perfect time to take a vacation, especially a cruise to the Mediterranean , with its tempting golden sunshine and intoxicating views. You can start making plans right now. And if you choose the Mediterranean or the Greek Isles, you are in for the trip of a lifetime.
