Happy Delicious Travels with Four Fine Friends
What We Do
Your Happy Guides to the Good Life
Travel
Adventures from the Finger Lakes of NY, down the east coast, across the US, and even out to sea. Driving, flying, or sailing we love to travel and share. See Our Latest Adventure
Drink
From the fantastic wines, craft beers, and small batch spirits of the Finger Lakes to the artisan drinks of the places we visit.
Eat
We love to eat! Though our food preferences range from vegan to omnivore (and some variations in between) enjoying food is one of our favorite things to do.
Share It
What makes a great experience better? Sharing stories about it! We welcome you to share in our stories, recommendations, and comical misadventures.
Let's Get Social!

I don’t think I have one. I guess it depends on my mood.
Favorite Place:
I love the Outer Banks, especially the Southern Villages.
Bio: Jim and I have been married since 1984! We have 2 children and 3 grandchildren.
I retired from SUNY Geneseo in 2020 after 30 years. The last 20 were spent working with/advising students and were the most rewarding.
I drive a Mojito Jeep JLU, and I love it! Mostly a pavement princess, but we were able to move a downed tree to “rescue” some 4 wheelers blocked on a trail.

I love to travel and especially hang out and drink wine with my friends. The 4 Fine Friends have been friends for so long we have great stories to tell!
I am a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson and one of my favorite things to do is look at houses/properties in other places that we travel.
I have been married to my husband, Perry for 28 years - the most important title to me is "Grandma" - we have 6 grandchildren who are the light of our lives.

Our Latest Most Favorite!
An impromptu visit to Kueka Vineyards on Keuka lake resulted an a happy opportunity to enjoy a one-on-one experience with Mel, the winery owner. In addition to enjoying his wonderful wines he provided us with a tour of the winery's newly refinished summer tasting room in the restored barn.
