A Day of Entertainment

This afternoon we went to a Joanie Mitchell and Leonard Cohen Tribute Show. It was great fun and highlighted their best music. Leonard Cohen was a Canadian poet turned songwriter who was a big part of the folk scene in the 1960s. His most famous song, now used as a Christian ballad is Hallelujah, whichContinue reading “A Day of Entertainment”

Our Stop in Puerto Rico

Today we had no plans. We spent time here last year so we toured the fort and old San Juan. We woke a little later and had our coffee and tea in the room. We had a nice view. At least very colorful. They were offering $20 tours by car to Old San Juan butContinue reading “Our Stop in Puerto Rico”

A Roller Coaster Ride on Tortola

We’ve had two beautiful sea days watching the ocean from our balcony and spending time in the thermal suites at the spa. So very relaxed we decided to get off the ship in Tortola. Shopping, shopping everywhere. And because I’m not into that we were able to pass by the stores. Lovely buildings in CaribbeanContinue reading “A Roller Coaster Ride on Tortola”

Back on the High Seas For A Birthday Cruise

This is our third cruise this month, but instead of four days, it’s seven. We are on our favorite ship, the Celebrity Beyond. We have a lovely infinity balcony again. Although I like the outside balconies this gives our cabin so much more room. On this cruise, I am going to eat less and workContinue reading “Back on the High Seas For A Birthday Cruise”

First Time on a Monster Ship

Usually, Bruce and I sail on medium- to large-sized ships, such as Celebrity Beyond and Sky Princess. They are manageable with roughly 3,000 passengers. But for this short four-day cruise we decided on Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas. Walking on board we were greeted by a giant promenade. Guest Services were right in frontContinue reading “First Time on a Monster Ship”

My Take On Traveling To Egypt

If you like adventure, Egypt has a lot to offer. From the pyramids in Cairo, to the tombs in Luxor, and to the many temples throughout the region, there is so much to see. For us in our 70s, it would have been a lot easier 10 years ago. Maybe even 5. We were onContinue reading “My Take On Traveling To Egypt”

My favorite place

That’s not easy to say when I travel the world. Places are different. I may love a city or a small town or the countryside. I love primates so Uganda was amazing. I was up close and personal with a silverback. I traveled to Borneo to see orangutans in the wild. I wasn’t able toContinue reading “My favorite place”

Bimini

A few months ago when we went to Bimini, we paid $38 for the shuttle, lounge chair and umbrella, and punch! As we sat there I noticed a few people without the yellow wristbands we were wearing. One lady told me that you don’t have to pay. She just took the shuttle and came toContinue reading “Bimini”

Any and all insecurities

What is one thing you would change about yourself? I watch my granddaughter, a well-balanced, polite, smart and pretty young lady appear very confident in herself. My daughter is the same way with a little more hesitation. I still have insecurities into my 70s which can still hold me back. My mother was fraught withContinue reading “Any and all insecurities”

On The Reflection Again

We are off on a four-night cruise on the Celebrity Reflection, which we’ve been on five times. Most recently two times on a back-to-back in August. Our neighbor gave us a ride to the Port of Everglades and our embarkment went very easy. We were on the ship in a matter of minutes. The ReflectionContinue reading “On The Reflection Again”
