I am married to an age group triathlete who, in the past, has finished in the top 20-25% of his age group; not World Championship qualifying, but triwife worthy admiration status, none-the-less…He is also an Ironman XC athlete, which HAS allowed him to qualify. In the past five years with Ironman XC, he has qualified for the Ironman World Championships twice and 70.3 World Championships,…

Bad things can happen anywhere, anytime! I’ve learned this the hard way, seriously. But, when bad things happen when you travel, it can be a bit unnerving. Unfamiliar surroundings and unfamiliar people, made worse when you’re out of the country…like on our recent trip to Puerto Rico. But, I won’t let these events stop me from doing what I want and traveling to where I…

I’ve done a lot of traveling over the years. A lot. For business and pleasure. For vacations and triathlons. Solo and with friends and/or family. Quick getaway weekends to month-long safaris. On a budget to all out luxury. All sorts of travel. But, the one constant in each trip has been the opportunity I was afforded to learn life lessons; to become a better person;…

When I was writing My Love Affair With France, I realized at the end that this was truly a perfect trip. Nothing actually went wrong nor did we even experience a little blip. In fact, from flights being on time, to each hotel being unique and welcoming, to perfect weather, to scrumptious food, to ballooning over Burgundy for goodness sakes, to meeting great tourists and…

For a long time now, I have been taking an annual trip with at least one, but usually two plus girlfriends. I think it started when my close friend moved back to the UK and it was the only way we could always assure seeing each other. But, that said, I even did this during my first marriage. We try to vary the trips between…

I started keeping a travel journal in 1999. I called it THE TRAVEL ADVENTURES OF CARL & SHERRY. Okay, so not too original…It was actually my husband’s idea, as he thought it would be great to have these memories in our old age or whenever we just wanted to look back. I truly could see us sitting outside at our home, pulling out that journal,…

I asked my husband what was most memorable to him about the Four Seasons and this is what he said. “I love how we get there at night and you drive down this long road and there’s this anticipation. You pull up to the main building and are greeted so warmly, it’s so quiet, and you’re just taken care of. Then you go to…

We know that living with a triathlete, travel can become a bit sticky. They are always worried about the giant questions, “Where am I going to train? Is there a pool that I can swim in-like a real pool? Can I bring my bike?” Why not make it easy on everyone and plan that trip around a race! We do and it keeps everyone happy….

It’s a busy month for the TriWivesClub, as we hit the road for both triathlon-related, blogging activities and just some R & R. You can find us in October at: The Ironman World Championship in Kona.

We found a little piece of luxury in the Cleveland International Airport and it’s called Airspace Lounge! When travel bloggers travel together, we often get stuck at the airport for a few hours waiting for flights. This is exactly what happened on a recent trip to Cedar Point, Ohio when we were at the Cleveland Airport. With four of us from different cities we tried…
