Life is short! Live it like you mean it!
Ready to wet your whistle? Well, here’s your chance to explore the birthplace of Bourbon and awaken your senses during a self-guided tour that reveals the story inside the Kentucky Bourbon distilleries. What is the Kentucky Bourbon Trail? In 1999, a group of bourbon whisky distilleries created The Kentucky Bourbon Trail as a way to increase Kentucky’s tourism. Visitors get an up-close look at how bourbon is distilled, while learning the history behind the crafting of bourbon and the art behind the perfect bourbon tasting. There are ten bourbon labels that are a part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail:
All of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail distilleries charge a fee for a tour or a tasting. Fees rang from $5 to $15 per person, depending on the distillery and the type of tour you choose to take. Specialty tours cost more. (You can visit the distillery's website for up-to-date pricing.) Touring the distilleries, learning about the origins of bourbon, and tasting lots and lots of bourbon whiskey is an excellent way to spend a long weekend. But there's more to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail than just distillery tours and bourbon tastings. It’s a step back in time where you learn about the history of Kentucky. You will drive through scenic bluegrass Kentucky, with horse farms as far as the eye can see. Spend the night in a historic tavern, enjoy the nightlife in Louisville, or visit the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. Whether you have two days or a week, there is plenty here to keep you busy. So let’s look a little closer and check out what the Kentucky Bourbon trail has to offer!

I love this quote. As we’ve negotiated this journey of Dan’s cancer, we have sometimes sprinted, sometimes hopped left then right, sometimes taken one step forward and two steps back and, often, just limped along. We have truly learned that adjusting our sails is the only way to get through this and maintain some semblance of sanity.
Cancer affects every part of life for everyone involved: the patient, the caretaker, the family members and the friends. We’ve tried very hard not to let the “C” word take over our thoughts or conversations. It’s a new member of our family, it will forever remain a part of our lives, but it will not control our lives. It can be frustrating to reschedule, and reschedule again, our calendar: day-to-day activities, events we wanted to attend, family and friends we’d hope to visit and, of course, our travel plans. Once upon a time, losing control over anything would have driven me up the wall. Control was my middle name and I clung to it as a child clings to her favorite teddy bear. But God is good and He showed me how to let go, just in time to receive Dan’s diagnosis. And as a result of that blessing, I have learned that I don’t own our plans. If we’re unable to attend an event, or a trip gets delayed or canceled, I can take a big breath -- and let it go, because I know the Lord has control and He’s got our back. I don’t know His plan, but I trust in it and I trust in Him. From the beginning of our relationship, Dan and I knew we wanted to travel in our “retirement.” Once the kids were all out on their own, we began taking a cruise or two each year – but the wanderlust in us was fierce! It made us crave more adventures and more experiences. We became travel addicts. Reason #1- Can you really afford to lose your vacation investment?
Let's pretend you've booked the number one item on your Bucket List: a once-in-a-lifetime cruise to Alaska, followed by another week doing a land tour. You've saved for years and now your dream is just a plane ride to Seattle or Vancouver away. The week before you depart on your big adventure, you fall and break your leg. The cruise line shares your disappointment when you call to inform them why you simply can't go on this dream vacation with a broken leg. But guess what? You aren't getting your money back. They'll sadly remind you that their company policy clearly states that there are no refunds if you cancel within 14 days of departure. Like I mentioned above, sometimes life gets messy. And if you declined Travel Insurance and something like this pops up, you're really in a pickle. But, had you purchased the very reasonably priced travel insurance with trip cancellation benefits, you'd be reimbursed for your prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs if you find it necessary to cancel for a covered reason (like the covered serious illness or injury of the insured person, a travel companion or a family member; the death of the insured traveler, traveling companion or a family member; a natural disaster or other event that renders your destination uninhabitable; etc.) |
