Who are we?
We are Michele and Vinny.
Michele retired in 2025 after working in NYS Civil Service in Workforce Development & assisting job candidates with disabilities to gain employment for 37 years. Vinny will retire after 35 years as a music educator and school arts administrator. We have two adult children who are talented music educators. We are now eager to set off on our travels in the shoulder seasons…making room for the next generation of families traveling with children during school breaks and summer holidays.
Our retirement is the beginning of what we hope will be many adventures to all corners of the world. This photo is our first morning in Yokohama Japan. We could hardly believe we had made it here! The beginning of a new life! If you’d like to see where we are going, what we are doing, or how we do it, please follow us on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook.
