Travel

Welcome to the #Kinsleylife travel. Here we share some of our favorite locations which we have experienced, and provided our opinion on favorite places to eat and drink there.  We didn’t really start taking proper photographs while on vacation until the last couple years, so the list is short.  However, we will be adding to the list each year.

We will also be digitizing photographs and slides from past trips and will be posted when available.  If you are interested in transferring your old photos to digital, check out our section that talks about the process using the Nikon ES-2 adapter.
