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”

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”

Thanksgiving Dinner
Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? I always entertain at my house on Thanksgiving. My family loves all the traditional foods which were passed down from my mother and grandmother. I make a sausage stuffing with apples that I put in the bird right before it goes in theContinue reading “Thanksgiving Dinner”
Easy peasy
Name your top three pet peeves. I have difficulty dealing with people who are chronically late. To me the message is “my time is more important than yours.” but I’ve learned to deal with this by knowing who those people are. Now I just show up a little late. I cruise a lot and it’sContinue reading “Easy peasy”
Family and Friends
Who are your current most favorite people? My husband is my best friend. We do a lot together and he is always ready to follow me in our travels around the world. My daughter is funny, charming but also has the practicalities that make her successful. My granddaughter is amazing, achieving goals like playing varsityContinue reading “Family and Friends”
