Travel at Our Pace
How travel fits everyday life. Destination guides live on my travel sites.
This section is about how travel fits the life we already have: leaving, returning and keeping a household that can do both.
The destination guides already have a home. I also write about accessible family travel at Travel at My Pace. Our Japan trips have their own site, Japan at My Pace. I won't rewrite those reviews here. I'll send you over, and write about the pace that makes those trips possible.
Start with The Pace I Travel Is the Pace I Live, or skip to How I Decide Whether a Trip Is Worth the Energy if you want the planning questions first. The Day After We Get Home is about how a trip actually ends. Texas, and the Places We Used to Live is the door to the move that brought us back to Arizona.
I'm sharing my experience, not medical advice. Talk with your doctor or therapist about what's safe for you, especially with heat, walking and long days away from home.

Traveling With Kids and Older Relatives
A trip with more than one generation is not a different genre of travel. It is the same slower pace, with more people who need it.

The Day After We Get Home
A trip isn't over when we pull into the driveway. It's over when the house is livable again.

Texas, and the Places We Used to Live
We lived in Texas, and we came back to Arizona so our kids would know their family. This is the door to that story, not a memoir of every place we've been.

How I Decide Whether a Trip Is Worth the Energy
Honest criteria after a stroke: heat, walking, who is coming, and the day after.
