Sometimes I think I’m still 30 years old. I love to explore and experience different things, sometimes a bit challenging for this old girl. Today, Bruce and I headed out with eight young people to explore some of Mexico’s treasures. Our first stop was the Mayan ruins of Tulum. Our guide, Adriana was great. SheContinue reading “Ruins, Cenotes and Snorkeling”

Fun in the Sun and other Stuff
We started our day with the time share presentation which turned out delightful. No hard sell and we saw the newest units on the ocean. It was supposed to be 90 minutes but after 60 we all called it a day. Just a lovely sales person who could tell we weren’t interested but we letContinue reading “Fun in the Sun and other Stuff”
A Trip To Cancun For R&R
For years, I never wanted to go to Cancun. We had a bad experience in Puerto Vallarta 15 years ago and that put me off about going anywhere in Mexico. But I was offered a great deal and if you know me, you know I love great deals. I booked the trip several months agoContinue reading “A Trip To Cancun For R&R”
Two Days of Spain and Portugal
Our third port day was to the City of Cadiz. The weather was less than promising, predicting rain, clouds and cool weather all day. We didn’t plan a tour but thought we would walk to the old city, find some WiFi and savor some bakery delectable. I didn’t bring my Nikon either because of theContinue reading “Two Days of Spain and Portugal”
I Love My Primates
The trip to Casablanca was canceled but was not a surprise to many of us. Whether it was Covid cases, paperwork or air space that the Russians use, we did not get the real answer. As far as I could tell, Casablanca had not excepted any cruise ships into the port and we were supposedContinue reading “I Love My Primates”
Magnificent Madeira
We missed the stop in the Azores but were delighted to arrive on the tenth day in Madeira. I woke early before sunrise to see the first bit of land we encountered in our long Transatlantic crossing. As a member of Cruise Critic I usually join the roll call for my voyage so I canContinue reading “Magnificent Madeira”
Crossing the Atlantic
When Bruce and I think of cruising, we think long voyages across wide open seas. This is our third Transatlantic crossing and we are heading to some exotic places. But first we have six sea days ahead of us. To our dismay, internet and WiFi are basically non existent. So much so that Princess reimbursedContinue reading “Crossing the Atlantic”
Cruising Post-Pandemic
Post pandemic travel is an interesting affair. It used to be how much should I pack, do I have our passports and what shore excursions interest us. Now it’s do we have our shots, tests and masks. For the Caribbean Princess, passengers must be fully vaccinated and have a negative Covid test two days priorContinue reading “Cruising Post-Pandemic”
Punta Cana – A Wonderful But Too Short Visit
After the rainy day, skies began to clear and we ventured out to dinner at Bamboo. It was a very expensive restaurant but not quite as good as La Yola. I had red snapper and Bruce had sea bass. The portions were small, presentation was nice but taste did not live up to the looks.Continue reading “Punta Cana – A Wonderful But Too Short Visit”
A Little Bit of Paradise -Punta Cana
We soaked in the sunshine and sweet tropical breezes in this lovely resort at the Westin. The service was impeccable and the grounds were lovely. We started our day having a light breakfast at the on site restaurant. They do have a full buffet but I’m trying to eat less and Bruce doesn’t eat thatContinue reading “A Little Bit of Paradise -Punta Cana”
