She and her husband of 36 years have traveled extensively throughout the United States, with the exception of the Northwest corner—which remains on their bucket list.
Their travel journey began early in life, starting with condo rentals at nearby beaches. Over time, they transitioned to camping and staying in cabins at RV and state parks. Eventually, they discovered the joy of cruising and instantly fell in love with it. Their adventures have taken them to destinations such as Jamaica, Hawaii, Fort Lauderdale, Key West, the Bahamas, Cozumel, Cancun, Gulf Shores, St. Petersburg, and one of Kathy’s personal favorites—Savannah, Georgia.
Later in life, Kathy pursued her passion for travel even further by becoming a MotorCoach operator.
