Where In the World Are Zeke and Terri?

Dreaming and Planning for 2026

We are just wrapping up our fall 2025 trip and we’ve already booked tickets for Europe in the spring. Terri has knee surgery scheduled for Dec 15, 2025 so she will have a few months of recovery before we can get back to our normal travel pace.

Our spring trip will terminate in Montreal so we can attend our youngest’s college graduation in Burlington, Vermont. We are still planning on Scandinavia in the fall.

Have ideas for us? Send us an email at zekeandterri@gmail.com and we will add them to our wish list.

Planning for 2025

As we enter the final part of 2025, our travel plans have solidified. Our 2025 completed travel and upcoming travel are detailed below.

Zeke and his cycling buddies finally made a decision about dates for their fall cycling trip so were able to plan our fall trip. One kid is at home (in grad school) and the other is coming home for Thanksgiving so we have no travel plans for November. Terri needs a partial knee replacement (too much tennis, soccer and running make for crappy 55 year-old knees!) in December so our travel and adventures will be complete for 2025 when we get back from Mexico mid-December.
