A Long Time To Go

We begin our journey from our home in Golden Valley, Minnesota to Lauderhill, Florida. It is a rainy day, but we don’t care….we are on the road. I took this photo from inside the truck as Phil was driving. The rain had stopped for a minute and the road looks like glass. Along with the…

DULUTH, MINNESOTA Our first night in Duluth was spent at the Pier B Hotel located on Lake Superior.  (Notice that I took my photo while taking Phil’s. And Phil’s shirt and socks are not as blue as in the photo……they are really white).  Just after the sun had set, the hotel built bonfires near the…

Soon Phil and I will be Minnesota Bound. We are both excited to be going home. Not that it has not been a nice winter away from the cold and snow, but it has also been a long winter, at least for me.   I hope you will read this Blog and enjoy the photos I…

The Boathouse at Disney Springs, Florida is another of Schussler’s many creations. The Boathouse offers “dream boat” rides on the water. These Amphibian cars are…

It never seems like a REAL Christmas for me without seeing family, friends and snow so Phil and I are flying home to Minnesota this week and will be back in Florida on New Year’s Eve.  Lights on palm trees and flamingos on Christmas cards just doesn’t seem like the Holidays for me.  Actually, I…

The Voyage on the Nieuw Satendam began on November 10 with the two of us on board. Our ride to the “launch site,”  Port Everglades,  began with a Lyft….nice driver, nice car, nice conversation, nice ride. We were on our way for another adventure. The Ship was destined for a 7-Day Eastern Caribbean Cruise from…
