One more day of vacay…
Well, it’s hard to believe it, but we are just over 24 hours away from the end of our month-long holiday away. Our reasoning for taking time away was initially to escape the winter rains and greys that we had experienced the previous couple of years in Orvieto. Ironically, this year had a rather late…

Happy New Year to 2024!
It was a beautiful start to 2024 and we are looking forward to how the year unfolds after having a rather amazing 2023! We’ve started our goal-writing as a couple and are working on our individual ones, though I had already started mine back in September, but as with all things they change. So, I’m…

Merry 2023 Christmas Season
Sometimes unexpected changes in plans brings about an even better experience than the one anticipated. Although we would have had a lovely time spending the holidays with my parents in the Bahamas, we would have missed out on family time with my brother, catching up with a few family and friends, and enjoying just a…

Hello from Paradise
My happy place has always been by the ocean. When I started to travel, I learned that there were warm beaches unlike the chillier one of the Oregon Coast, which I still love in many ways. Still, when given a choice, I would prefer a warm beach, blue sea, and golden sand. I’ve seen a…

Traveling….

Seasonal/Annual Illness
Well, it has happened despite my best efforts to Jedi mind-trick or deny its existence. I am sick. I tried my best to positive energy it away and perhaps it is not as bad as past illnesses have been because of this, but there’s no denying it. I. am. sick. I hate being sick. I…

Autumn Bash 2023
We love a party – yes, even me, the introvert! Although I tend to prefer smaller group gatherings for catching up with people, I do enjoy bringing people together and seeing what sort of social interactions will arise to give me food for thought. M loves a large party to play host and to flit…

Palma Majorca (Oct 28-31, 2023)
Ladies’ trip with the fabulous A.N. in Palma Majorca (Mallorca) is a wrap with wonderful memories, lots of laughs, much chit-chat, and as an overall amazing experience. First, about Palma – the Spanish capital of the Balearic island of Mallorca (Majorca in English spelling). It’s an interesting city with a mix of flavors in architect…

Mixed Emotions in Travel
There is a mixed feeling of awe and sadness when I look out the window of a plane as it takes off into the air leaving behind the ground below. The awe is amazement for the technology that makes flight possible in a big chunk of metal and a mass weighing hundreds of pounds somehow…
