Pat and Roger apologise that the pictures don’t really show them (that’s Pat on the right and Roger on the left.) They say that when they travel, they’re so interested in what they are seeing, they rarely take pictures of one another. Also, Roger says, that as an architect, he takes way too many pictures…
This week we depart from our normal question and answer format to let the Halls tell you about their trip in their own words. In June of 2011 my husband and I took a Prague/Vienna UnTour, and were very happy with the whole UnTours approach. The best thing was the accomodations! In Prague we…
Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. In 2011, we visited the Swiss Heartland for three weeks. This was our second UnTour and our second time in Lungern.

Attention, wine and hiking aficionados. John Meyn, our UnTourist of the Week, could be the poster child for the traveling wine and hiking enthusiast.

Don and Deby Elliott were our UnTourists of the week last Monday. When we saw all the amazing photos that they’d sent (unsolicited, from their Iphone, back las summer during their trip) we decided we’d just have to do two postings on the Elliotts. So the last week’s was a general overview of their trip,…
Don and Deby Elliott took their very first UnTour, to Quebec, in 2011. How did it go? We think Don’s quote, when he sent us the pictures from his Iphone, says it best: “It’s tough looking at the pictures and not being there. That’s when you know you had a good vacation!’ 1.”Tell us a…
