ABOUT ME
When I was 22, I set off alone, Frommer in hand, to do Europe on $5 a Day... 11 countries in 13 weeks. I have been back 13 times — and the price has gone up!
In 2016, traveling with the Yale Alumni Chorus, I added Vietnam and Singapore to my passport. By then, it had been renewed several times.
One of my favorite movies as a kid was ‘Now, Voyager.’ Bette Davis is a spinster aunt who comes into enough money to do a total makeover plus go on a grand tour. I’ve always loved the movie’s title, from a line by Whitman:
‘Now, voyager… sail you forth to seek and find.’
This year, I am embarking on another — a ‘maiden’ — voyage. My first-ever cruise, aboard the brand-new Viking Sun, will take me to 5 continents... 35 countries... and 64 ports of call. I think you’ll agree it qualifies as a grand voyage!
Please come along... it’s going to be one helluva trip!

Passe-partout ... Qu’est-ce que ça signifie?
From the French passer, to pass or go, and partout, everywhere. Besides being Phileas Fogg’s French valet sidekick in
‘Around the World in Eighty Days,’ passe-partout means ‘skeleton key’ — because it will get you in anywhere!
