Bruce started feeling better today. Actually he seemed a lot better yesterday and the doctor said he was no longer contagious after 10 days from the onset of symptoms. So a ride down A1A was just the ticket for getting back to life. We passed many a mansion traveling south. Many gated houses lined theContinue reading “Out and About in Florida”

I never thought I’d become a snowbird but for this season, with the pandemic in full swing, spending any lengthy stay out of the United States seemed a little risky. So my dear husband relentlessly looked for a house to rent in Florida with a three month lease. We found our winter home in theContinue reading “The Snowbirds in Florida”

After 14 flights, 2 train rides, 10 bus trips, 2 live aboard cruises, 7 day cruises, several sampans, an ox cart ride, four tuk tuks, 7 taxis, several Uber’s, a cyclo ride, two rental cars, kayaks, our trip ended with a transatlantic flight.

Fort Macon State Park We had wonderful weather for most of our trip so I’m not going to complain about our last day. We knew it was going to rain so we slept in and had a late start. I thought it might be interesting to get some shots on a dreary, rainy day andContinue reading “Our Last Day on The Outer Banks”

Our journey south on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore began with the crossing of the Oregon Inlet. This Inlet separates the Atlantic from Pamlico Sound and it’s home to a thriving fishing industry. There are several long bridges throughout the Outer Banks and we loved traveling over them. We stopped just over the bridge forContinue reading “A Short Visit to Hatteras and Ocracoke Island”

Manteo I wasn’t quite sure where to go and where to stay when visiting the Outer Banks. I knew we wanted to drive the entire length of the Outer Banks and decided we’d stay somewhere in the northern part and somewhere further south. I had points from Chase so I booked the first place inContinue reading “Our First Trip to the Outer Banks”

My darling granddaughter turned 12 on September 30th and her Mimos and PopPop were there to celebrate. In fact, we haven’t missed a birthday yet! Our first night with the birthday girl we ate at her favorite restaurant La Cocina. She was surprised to get so many presents; she is not one of those kidsContinue reading “Celebrating Kadyn”

During our last week in Antigua, I was suffering from a very bad stomach.  It started on Saturday and lasted most of the week.  When I was up to it we went out and did some things. On Sunday morning we met Martha and Ted for breakfast at Escalonia.  We hadn’t been there all yearContinue reading “Farewell To Beloved Antigua”

Friends are gone and now we are settled into our normal Antigua routine.  I try to attend a yoga class once or twice a week and Bruce heads out to the Scandinavian Gym.  I’m not sure why it’s called that because nothing about it seems Nordic. On the weekend there was a craft fare downContinue reading “Hanging Out In Antigua, Guatemala”

Whenever Bruce and I have guests in Antigua, I like to take them for a day at the spa at Santa Teresita.  On Wednesday morning, they offer a free shuttle to and from the spa.  I thought I registered for it.  In fact I sent in a request twice, but did not hear back.  SoContinue reading “Spa Day At Santa Teresita”
