Kadyn came for a visit during Christmas break and we decided to kayak for an afternoon. We picked her up at Orlando airport then drive the hour and a half to Ocala. On our way we saw a space launch out of the Kennedy Center. It was awesome but unfortunately, I was not prepared, soContinue reading “Kayaking in Silver Springs”

On our last port day, we headed into Antigua. It was a bit overcast but weather in the tropics changes rapidly. Our tour in Antigua was booked with people on Cruise Critic. My experience to date is that we get a much better tour at a lower price through Cruise Critic. We had Lawrence ofContinue reading “Our Last Port – Antigua”

It was a misty morning so Bruce and I decided to walk around the port town of Martinique. We woke late which has become the norm on this cruise and looked out my balcony at dark clouds. After drinking our coffee and tea we headed to the gangway and off we went. Steel drums playingContinue reading “A Walk About Fort-de-France”

It’s very unusual for me to be tired, but I have found the loss of my sister Linda, the ongoing support for her husband Stan, my crazy decision to be a director in my 55+ community, and some family health issues, a tad bit stressful. So for our first sea day it was all aboutContinue reading “I think I am sleeping through this cruise”

After an adventuresome trip to the cruise port, car fires and road closures, we made it to our ship, the Enchanted Princess. This ship is similar to the Sky and Regal. The process of getting on board was a little slower than usual. Different stories were told from the debarkation process to the traffic situation.Continue reading “Cruising in the Caribbean”

I have to admit that traveling gets a little harder with each decade of life. But while I’m still fit, I plan to continue this journey. We traveled to the airport using Lyft. I get f points for each dollar spent using my Chase Sapphire card. Our driver was a nice man and our vehicleContinue reading “Off Again To The Land of Leprechauns”

Last week we traveled to Connecticut for Colin and Renee’s wedding. These two looked dreamily into each other’s eyes and everyone could feel the love. The wedding plans didn’t start out so great though. After a Thursday of setting up the Haddam Neck Fairgrounds and adding twinkling lights, flower arrangements and pumpkins to the barnContinue reading “A Fairy Tale Wedding”

We ate our breakfast at the hotel before heading out to Krispy Kreme. It was too early to check in at the Hyatt in Titusville so we visited the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. We visited the Visitors Center then drove the 7 mile drive seeing lots of birds. We drove to the Manatee ObservationContinue reading “Our Visit To Kennedy Space Center”

Wyatt woke up and donned his Star Wars helmet. I guess he really loves it. Our first day at Universal it rained cats and dogs. Luckily we packed our rain gear. Landon didn’t want to wear a Disney poncho at Universal so he wore my jacket and I wore the poncho. We started to waitContinue reading “Universal and Harry Potter”

We were up late last night with the amazing fireworks at the Magic Kingdom, so I decided to let everyone sleep in. We missed the early time for those staying in Disney resorts but the extra shuteye was worth it. We packed up our stuff – not an easy task- and headed to Hollywood Studios.Continue reading “Hollywood Studios”
