The Zurich HB train station was directly across the street from the Hotel Schweitzehof Zurich. We woke late because checkout wasn’t until noon, and our train was at 1:33 p.m. We ate pastries at a cafe in the train depot. I had almond croissant and Bruce had a custard pastry. It was comfortable seating asContinue reading “Bruce Loves The Train”

Exploring Zurich
After a few hours of sleep, we started wandering the streets of Zurich. The Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich is centrally located to many attractions as well as coffee shops. Our first stop was for a much-needed cup of coffee. I had a cappuccino and Bruce had black tea. We walked along the waterfront taking in theContinue reading “Exploring Zurich”

On The Road Again
It was a rough start but we finally began our journey. Between my heart procedure and Bruce’s hospitalization, we weren’t sure we’d be traveling ever again. We missed our sailing to Europe on March 24th when Bruce was in the hospital with bleeding ulcers. He was really sick. But after getting the OK from ourContinue reading “On The Road Again”
Oh No – Not My Middle Name
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance? For most of my childhood I was so embarrassed by my middle name. It wasn’t American. It was my grandmothers name and she was Swedish. In fact all my grandparents were Swedish. But oh that name. It sounded so much better in Swedish. SoContinue reading “Oh No – Not My Middle Name”
My Dream Home
Write about your dream home. A little cottage by a lake with blue hydrangeas in full bloom. My home would have a fireplace for chilly nights but most often the temperature would be quite comfortable. The kitchen would fill with morning sunlight and I’d have a cozy little nook to drink my coffee and write.Continue reading “My Dream Home”

No drink No dance
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? When I was younger, I skied, skated, danced, and drank. Well the drinking I gave up over 30 years ago. No more late-night shenanigans. Dancing has become less frequent because I don’t hang out in places with live music. The otherContinue reading “No drink No dance”
Red Licorice
What’s your favorite candy? I can remember going to the candy store with Pennie’s to buy single strands of delicious red licorice. So my love of it goes way way back. Not black licorice which is so strong but the red which is fruity, I can sit and eat a pound of red licorice inContinue reading “Red Licorice”
Our Final Port
This was a short cruise. Five nights, two ports, and two sea days. Our second port was Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. We didn’t plan a shore excursion but decided to walk around the port for a bit. There is a free pool, lazy river, and lounges. We didn’t wear our bathing suits so we didn’tContinue reading “Our Final Port”
