We missed the stop in the Azores but were delighted to arrive on the tenth day in Madeira. I woke early before sunrise to see the first bit of land we encountered in our long Transatlantic crossing. As a member of Cruise Critic I usually join the roll call for my voyage so I canContinue reading “Magnificent Madeira”

When Bruce and I think of cruising, we think long voyages across wide open seas. This is our third Transatlantic crossing and we are heading to some exotic places. But first we have six sea days ahead of us. To our dismay, internet and WiFi are basically non existent. So much so that Princess reimbursedContinue reading “Crossing the Atlantic”

Post pandemic travel is an interesting affair. It used to be how much should I pack, do I have our passports and what shore excursions interest us. Now it’s do we have our shots, tests and masks. For the Caribbean Princess, passengers must be fully vaccinated and have a negative Covid test two days priorContinue reading “Cruising Post-Pandemic”

After the rainy day, skies began to clear and we ventured out to dinner at Bamboo. It was a very expensive restaurant but not quite as good as La Yola. I had red snapper and Bruce had sea bass. The portions were small, presentation was nice but taste did not live up to the looks.Continue reading “Punta Cana – A Wonderful But Too Short Visit”

We soaked in the sunshine and sweet tropical breezes in this lovely resort at the Westin. The service was impeccable and the grounds were lovely. We started our day having a light breakfast at the on site restaurant. They do have a full buffet but I’m trying to eat less and Bruce doesn’t eat thatContinue reading “A Little Bit of Paradise -Punta Cana”

As some of you know, I’ve been playing with points and miles for some time. I joined a group called 10X Travel, and by following their lead, I’ve been able to take my travel to an all new level. Our flight out of Miami was scheduled at 5:45 pm but due to delays didn’t leaveContinue reading “A Quick Trip to Punta Cana”

It’s been a very busy month and I have been completely remiss in blogging about life in Florida. Valentine’s Day came and went. I did get some pretty roses. Our friends, Sandy and Scott, arrived on the 17th and it’s been a whirlwind ever since. We have so many neat places to walk here soContinue reading “A Visit with friends”

Our days flow into one another like a stream that winds around each curve, beckoning to see what lies ahead. We’ve fallen into a regular routine idling away peacefully without a care in the world. Our morning begins with reading and quiet meditation. Of course we are missing our meditation room at home, but we’veContinue reading “Our Time in Paradise”

It’s been a worrisome two weeks but life is finally getting back to normal. Bruce is feeling good with only a little fatigue if we do too much. I had a negative Covid test on Saturday. I would have been surprised if I was positive because I feel great. Bruce and I took a strollContinue reading “Great News”
