Somewhere on the English Channel ... This is the 2nd in a series of posts about a British Isles cruise with Viking: Excursions in England and Wales #travel #cruise www.travelingwithsweeney.com/shore-excurs...

Reminds me of this from several months ago which I totally relate to —

Exploration and Relaxation — Collette Tour Excursions in Iceland www.travelingwithsweeney.com/tour-excursi...

Happy Flag Day! Local protest here in Scottsdale — great turnout. I was also flying my very large American flag. 🇺🇸 My sign-making abilities have not improved!

For #FoodieFriday a taste of #Iceland. I'm not usually a seafood person, but it's so fresh and good in Iceland that I had it often. Lamb is also a specialty. We sampled other special Icelandic treats too. bit.ly/4kS3S2R for #gocollette tour info #catherinexcollette

One for me, one for Mr. TWS — enjoying drinks from the swim-up bar at Mývatn Nature Baths, a geothermal pool in northern Iceland. Perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring the area. #gocollette #catherinexcollette #travel #iceland

In the scenic Norourland Vestra region of Iceland, we enjoyed a visit to a family-owned farm where farmer Jon showed us his sheep and horses. Many of the lambs were under 4 weeks old and 2 were just 2 hours old. #gocollette #catherinexcollette #iceland

Humpback whale sighting. Check out this cool video by Mr TWS from our Húsavík whale watching adventure with @ColletteTravel and HúsavíkAdventures. #gocollette #CatherinexCollette #iceland

Totally enjoyed a scenic cruise on Breiðafjörður Bay Iceland. Our boat got up close to the cliffs of the islands for us to see wildlife. We also sampled scallops and sea urchins that had just been brought up from the water. #gocollette #catherinexcollette #iceland

Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital city, is lovely and full of character. A walking tour took us to the old town and city center to get a glimpse of its history and culture. Here’s a little look! #gocollette #catherinexcollette #iceland

Proud to be part of April 19th protests against current administration’s policies at Desert Ridge in Phoenix, Arizona. My signs were very basic, but the messages were right on. Shout out to @harvard.edu — thought it was a good day to wear this sweatshirt.

Just something pretty for your weekend. Flowers and butterflies at Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. Always a pleasure to walk the trails here and appreciate nature. #desertbotanicalgarden #dbgphx #myphx #visitphoenix #visitarizona

Feeling lucky? Happy St. Patrick's Day! Just a few photos of times past in Ireland -- the grounds of Blarney Castle, Blind Piper pub in County Kerry, Cliffs of Moher, and kissing the Blarney Stone. We'll have a chance to visit to Ireland again in a few months. Stay tuned!

Last night we were at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix for Las Noches de las Luminarias. It's always a quite magical experience with holiday lights and entertainment. This year's special art exhibition is "LightBloom" by HYBYCOZO. Totally cool installations throughout the garden. #art #myphx

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, Bluesky friends! #zurich #travel #christmas2024

One minute, you're packing and getting ready for a trip. Next minute, you're back home unpacking. Do you feel that way, too? We're home after a six-day stay in Zurich. Loved it! Blog post coming soon. #switzerland #travel

The pretty things you see on an early morning ride to the airport. Caught this sunrise on our way to PHX. Heading to Zurich to kick off the holidays! Stay tuned. 🎅 🎄 ❄️ ⛄️ #arizonasky #sunrise

Happy to join #TravelAddicts #TopTravelPics with the lovely theme of #BlueSkies -- Here are four memorable days of #travel and blue skies:

1 On a boat from Perast to Kotor, Montenegro
2 Atlantic Ocean somewhere between NYC and Ft. Lauderdale
3 Hagia Sophia, Istanbul
4 Sonoma Coast, California

Art installations in historical or cultural landmarks -- do they enhance the experience for you? Recently, I enjoyed glass sculptures installed in the Basilica Cistern in Istanbul. Share a photo from your own experiences. More about Istanbul: www.travelingwithsweeney.com/istanbul-wit... #travel
