The title of this blog reflects the fact that my companion and I experience travel much differently. We tend to like the same places. While I prefer canyons and she favors beaches , we both love both of them. And we reveled together in France , Switzerland and Italy earlier this year.
Where we differ in travel is in our response to the places we love. I want to soak it in, recognizing that we may never be back.
My companion wants to move. Every time we have visited Tofino our favorite place , she talks of buying a beach home there, ignoring the fact that I would have no work there and no major airport within five hours.
Enjoy it right now! We brought Duffy, her schnauzer, along, which curbed the sightseeing a bit. But just walking him around the lovely town square and neighborhoods of Pittsfield, Mass. So, when I wrapped up Friday with still an hour or so of daylight, I thought my companion would enjoy a drive in the countryside. We headed out north of town to drive some country roads.
A turn down a side road took us past lots of colorful trees as well as shimmering Pontoosuc Lake. We just refinanced our condo in the Virginia suburbs of Washington. But selling it for enough to cover the loan would be difficult we bought in , shortly before the real estate market tanked.
