How did that happen? How did I get here? Seems the years go whirling by in a blink of an eye. Well today I am in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately a little under the weather. So we decided to just relax. This is me relaxing. The wind was blustery. Half the time my hair was inContinue reading “Celebrating 72”

A trip to Puerto Rico isn’t a trip without a visit to old San Juan. Although we walked six miles yesterday, we were up for another day’s sightseeing. Our Uber driver gave us a little history of the place and also talked about the catastrophic hurricane a few years ago. He said the rain wasContinue reading “Viejo San Juan”

It’s supposed to rain this morning and clear up this afternoon. We decided to sleep in a bit and then go for breakfast. Luckily, the breakfast was included because the bill was over $100. I guess if you can afford to stay here you can afford the breakfast. The food was so-so. The melon appearedContinue reading “Waking up at Condado Vanderbilt”

For a little change, Bruce and I decided to take my birthday trip to Puerto Rico. We requested our ride through Lyft. I get 5x points on my Chase Sapphire card. We arrived at Miami airport. What a zoo! It appeared that flights and security were backed up. By the time we went through TSA,Continue reading “Birthday Week in Puerto Rico”

It’s a day to give thanks for family, friends, God, and everything wonderful in life. My granddaughter put her creative talents to use and set a beautiful table! It’s a day to eat too much! Especially turkey! It’s a day that starts the beginning of the holiday season with Christmas lights and holiday cheer! It’sContinue reading “Thanksgiving Day”

I won a day at the spa on the first night of the cruise and decided to use it on our last day. Bruce was going with me and the day rate was $82 but the lady at the desk allowed him in for free. If you buy the thermal suite package for the lengthContinue reading “The Spa on Apex”

We woke up this morning to a beautiful rainbow! It was beautiful but on the other hand, it might mean we are facing a rainy day. Hopefully, the rain has passed. Up early again but this time we had to wait because it took a bit longer to get the all-clear from Jamaican authority. It’sContinue reading “Our First Visit to Jamaica”

Bruce and I decided to join a tour today that went to the Cayman Turtle Centre. It started on the wrong foot having to rise and meet up in the theater by 8:15. For some reason, this always reminds me of being herded like cattle. Turned out it wasn’t too bad. We had a shortContinue reading “Turtles in Grand Cayman”

We are off on another adventure. This time on one of Celebrity’s newer ships, the Apex. It’s part of the Edge series and we are loving it! We started off with our Lyft ride to Port Everglades. I use Lyft because I earn 5 X points on every dollar spent using my Chase Sapphire card.Continue reading “Cruising the Caribbean in November”
