Lucca, Italy is one of those towns in the Tuscan region that you probably never heard of, and no words can adequately describe. This is an extremely old city built behind 20′ (or so) walls that make a lovely walking tour or morning bicycle ride. The top of the wall hosts trees to provide ample shade on the hottest of days, a foot path, sidewalks, stairs down into the city (or out of) and benches along the way if you get tired. (more…)

Our ship was scheduled to port in Casablanca and I have to say I was more than a little excited to be visiting this culture-rich city. I had told Veronica all about it before we left for our trip and even considered renting the old Bogart movie. (more…)

Let’s try this again…

I had originally set up this website in February 2007, but due to many other website projects, it hasn’t been updated since June. Then, the host I originally set this up on, somehow magically lost/erased/deleted my MySQL database that held my text and links to my photos.

For the record, let me state that if you have a website idea and you need to get a good host, at a great price, there is no better than my favorite found over from clicking on InstantInstaller – best website host recommendation.

Over the next few months I’ll be re-instating my content, and including the original photos I had at www.laurajchilds.com so stay tuned!
