What makes you nervous? Nervous? Sometimes everything. Sometimes nothing. When I’m getting ready to go on a roller coaster at Universal Studios I can feel my stomach do a little flip flop. But I actually love the thrill! When I was a kid and knew I had to present an oral book report in school,Continue reading “Mostly worms”

Walk Laugh Meditate
How do you unwind after a demanding day? Demanding days are far and between since I have been retired. But even in retirement, it can be trying at times. So what do I do? Well, I now live in sunny Florida so walking is always good. I like to go to this wetlands area whereContinue reading “Walk Laugh Meditate”
Frazzled
I’ve been using word press for almost 9 years. Today when I opened my site and went to where it said blog this is what came up. I’ve been trying to get someone from WordPress or JetPack to explain how this company is on my site. So I thought maybe someone out there would knowContinue reading “Frazzled”
Travel Travel Travel
How do you use social media? My favorite thing in the world to do is to travel and see new places. I like to share these moments with family and friends because I know they won’t go to many of the places I travel to.
Writer’s Block
Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. Finding something to write about isn’t always easy. Especially when you want to write something profound, interesting and current. Today is one of those days. I’m battling a sinus infection and I’m on my second round of antibiotics and a longer course of steroids. WhichContinue reading “Writer’s Block”

This was long before direct deposit, so weekly I made my way across 46th Street to the bank. While waiting in line, this man who by all appearances lookedContinue reading “Learning Not To Judge People”
Good Morning Aruba
I woke early enough to capture a sunrise heading into our last port today, Aruba. All was quiet on the streets except for the noise from our approaching ship. We enjoyed coffee on our balcony. It’s a big balcony but it could use some maintenance. We decided to walk around the town and not doContinue reading “Good Morning Aruba”
A Trip Through The Panama Canal
The Panama Canal was originally started in the late 19th century by the French. When they gave up, the United States began construction in 1904. The Bridge of the Americas was completed in 1962 and spans over a mile. We traveled through the Miraflores Locks and Miraflores Lake. Next we went into the Pedro MiguelContinue reading “A Trip Through The Panama Canal”
Panama
We arrived in Panama this morning which brought about some bitter sweet memories. I could see the bridge in the distance near where we stayed almost nine years ago. It was when I started the Four Amigos blog and when we traveled with my sister, Linda, and Stan. We were the four amigos. My sisterContinue reading “Panama”
Visiting Ecuador
Today our port of call is Manta, Ecuador. I wasn’t sure if we would stop here due to civil unrest but it appears that Holland America thinks it’s ok. The Brits received emails that they should not go off the ship. The US has Ecuador as a threat level 2. However, Manta seems a distanceContinue reading “Visiting Ecuador”
