Fredericksburg, Texas - Iwo Jima - 80 Years Later
February 21-23, 2025
The National Museum of the Pacific War
The museum is hosting three days of World War II activities and information to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of the war. Friday will feature an opening ceremony and activities in the ballroom and the day ends with a screening of the movie "Sands of Iwo Jima". Saturday's guest speaker session with Richard B. Frank, Keil Gentry, Steve McCloud, and Jonathan Parshall requires pre-registration due to a limited number of seats in the theatre. The evening will close with a concert and photography viewing. Sunday features a battle reenactment at the Pacfic Combat Zone. Walk-ups are allowed first come, first serve if there's availability. Then a book signing and closing ceremony. If you are a history buff, this sounds like a great opportunity to learn more about Iwo Jima.

Special Offers - Even MORE Amazon Discounts on Selected Travel Books and Maps
I went down a bunch of rabbit holes last night looking at more travel related goodies Amazon has marked down. I purchased a bunch for next year's trips that I wanted to share with you. As always, check your local library to see if they offer these books and maps for FREE. I like to have hardcopies of maps so I can circle and make notes on them.

Bird Watching Books:
Bird watching is a great way to observe nature in your location or while you travel. I used to bring binoculars but now our cell phones have such great zooms that I just use that instead. I usually bring my guide so I can check off the birds I see as I go.
