I’ve been waiting over 20 years for this trip and it’s finally here. Egypt has always been on my bucket list. We started off by flying to New York to spend two nights with my bestie. We’ve been friends for 70 years. Luckily we have loving, patient husbands who will hang around as we reminisceContinue reading “We are off on another adventure”

It’s been a fun but relaxing time on Celebrity Beyond. We dressed for Chic night. Lauren and Kadyn looked lovely. We saw some pretty sunsets. But no sunrises since we slept in. I think the girls needed sleep more than anything else. Lauren and Kadyn played in a game show along with another lady. TheirContinue reading “Girls’ Trip on the Beyond”

Today we took a catamaran trip to snorkel and to a beach. It wasn’t until noontime so we had a slow morning. It was fun watching as we approached St. Martin. It was a short walk to the Cats. Fun in the sun! The girls chilling in the front netting. I don’t like to getContinue reading “St. Martin with My Girls”

So everyone who knows me knows my daughter is a gym rat. I guess it’s partly my fault. She was dragged to gyms from a very young age. The Celebrity Beyond features a well-equipped gym. Ellipticals, treadmills, and bikes look out at the ocean. Lots of weights and weight equipment. Lemon water for hydration andContinue reading “Lazy Days At Sea”

We’ve made it an annual tradition to take a trip somewhere – just Lauren, Kadyn, and me! This year, we are on the Celebrity Beyond, celebrating Kadyn’s 17th birthday on this earth. Our cabin is an Infinity balcony and it’s lovely and spacious. The balcony is part of the room which makes it much larger.Continue reading “On The Beyond with My Girls”

Yesterday we walked around the pier area in Puerto Plata. Bruce started feeling a bit under the weather—hopefully just a cold. This area includes pools for cruisers free of charge. Someone said it was a lazy river but I didn’t see that. We didn’t do much yesterday. We ate in the cafe instead of theContinue reading “Our Last Day”

I woke very early and caught a brief glimpse of the sunrise. Then I went back to bed for a bit. Every cruiser stops in St. Thomas several times if they cruise the Caribbean. I’m not sure how many times I’ve been here but we decided to venture out anyway. We were going to walkContinue reading “St. Thomas”

What a relaxing time we’re having, Bruce and I. We started our morning with Tai Chi and then went to stretch and release. We walked around the ship taking photos and enjoying space. This is the walkthrough to get to Eden. Very unusual but quite lovely. It would be a nice place to meditate. ThisContinue reading “More on the Beyond”

We love the Celebrity Beyond. Its capacity is 3300 passengers but it doesn’t feel like that. This time we have a regular balcony, not an infinity balcony. Right now Imelda is off the coast of Florida and we may have to change course to avoid the worst of her. Luckily Bruce and I don’t getContinue reading “On our Favorite Ship”

The drive to Truckee and Lake Tahoe from Reno is quite picturesque. Mountains everywhere. Some stark and dry and some with huge evergreen trees. We made it to Lilly’s soccer game. It was adorable. All 7-year-olds. That’s Lilly number 6. Emmy was busy with her friend Edison. The mountains were spectacular as the sun loweredContinue reading “A Visit With The Family”
