Day 2 in Florida - What I did yesterday

It was a good day ;)
*Had breakfast by the pool. Everyone else still sound asleep. Birds chirping like crazy!
*Went swimming. At 7 a.m., the water was incredibly warm. Definitely not having to get used to the water!!

Uno Chicago Grill - Fort Myers, Florida

Okay, I know that you don’t go to Florida to eat at a “Chicago Grill”, but we just got off the plane and we were all starving. So, there you have it… one really good reason… we were HUNGRY!

Day One in Florida… what I did yesterday

Join me each day as I give a mini account of what I did, what I saw and stuff ;)
*Bought flip flops. I don’t have a pair of black ones and I found a pair that are elevated. I don’t know what you call them, but if the heels are elevated, your legs won’t ache. […]

5 Things I Didn’t Know About Maryland

We have some fond memories of this particular state and I wouldn’t be surprised if we make another visit soon. Britt loves anything to do with the history of baseball. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if this shows up as one of her weekly tours.

Can the cold weather give you a cold?

Okay, I know that it can’t, but I’ve only been home about a week and a half and suddenly, I’m aching all over the place and I feel about as rotten as you can get. And, I’m cold… like in the chills. I think that it is just the beginning of a kick ass cold, […]

Oscar Wilde

Carrying off the art of one carry-on

“Phileas Fogg had Passepartout, Bertie Wooster had Jeeves and Sir Edmund Hillary had a retinue of stalwart Sherpas. The rest of us, alas, must schlep our own bags.
That’s the best reason to pack light, but it’s not the only one. By limiting ourselves to one carry-on, we can be off the plane and halfway to […]

Vacations are Supposed to be Stressless…

But that is seldom the case. If anything, that is exactly the time when tempers flare, and suddenly you are exhausted. The problem is usually that you are so busy trying to pack everything into each day, that you are enjoying none of it.
That’s were a good cup of tea and a hand massage comes […]

Trans Siberian Orchestra

You probably know by now, that we will be driving down to Florida just before Christmas and so that I don’t drive everyone nuts, I will be stocking up on music and taking my CD player along with me to while away the hours. I have just about everything that the Trans Siberian Orchestra has […]
