Labor Day was first celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, and it became a national holiday in the United States in 1894. We use it as the "end of summer vacation" which means it's time to book a fall break. :-) Wishing you a happy and fun Labor Day. #laborday #labordayweekend #labordayh

In January we are headed off to Africa and a few far-away paradise islands. Our first stop will be Mauritius, a small island nation in the Indian Ocean. It's about 1200 miles off the east coast of Africa, not far from Madagascar. Six of us are going. Got tips? Let me know!

Summertime in Alaska can look like this! Not that much snow, and sort of brown. But there's also magnificent tall trees and Bald Eagles flying. I've traveled Alaska more than once, and can help you pick what works best for you. Tip: Book ahead or be left with not many options. sue@travelchangeslife.

One of my favorite old barns in East Tennessee - gone now. I feel like our whole country will be looking like this, just desolate and once so thriving. We have been an imperfect blend and yet one of the most creative nations ever. We are losing to the love of power. #unitedstates

In the last few days I've been in Tortola and St. Martin. The devastation from Irma is still apparent with destroyed hotels and homes. They are beautiful islands but between the pandemic and the storms they are still recovering. Destruction of a way of life takes decades to repair. #travel
