We took a train to deal from Dover. It only took about fifteen minutes for the ride. After arriving in Deal, we stopped at a bakery for my husband to get a delicious donut. Everything looked lovely, but I was not hungry. I believe the shop was called Albert’s. It was on the main pedestrian street. There were quite a few people out and about on a Friday … Continue reading Deal, Walmer and Dover Castles, England
Today we opted to take an excursion through the ship. We didn’t know when we would be close enough to Mont Saint-Michel to visit it. However, when we got on the bus, they told us the ride was closer to three hours than two. I did not enjoy the long ride. There is always some loud talkers that stop everyone from resting. We arrived at Monte Saint-Michel around … Continue reading Monte Saint-Michel, Normandy, France
If you are anything like me, you had no idea where Guernsey was located or to what country it belonged. Honestly, I didn’t even know it was an island until I searched it. Guernsey is part of the Channel Islands. It is associated with England, but it has different money, different postage. The island of Jersey, which is nearby, also has its own money and postage. They are interesting places … Continue reading St. Peter Port, Guernsey
Our first port was near Porto. We have been there a few times, so we decided to check out Guimareaes, which is called the Birthplace of Portugal. It’s a medieval town that is about 45 minutes from the port. We were going to take the train, but our ship docked too late. We considered taking the bus, but were concerned about not being able to figure out … Continue reading Guimaraes, Portugal
A few years ago we went to Santa Fe and visited the Georgia O’Keeffe museum and I found out you could also visit her home in Abiquiu. Unfortunately, it was closed when we were visiting so I vowed to come back and see it. We made a reservation in March for our May visit because I read that it frequently sold out of tickets. When we realized … Continue reading Georgia O’Keefe’s Abiquiu home
Several years ago, my husband was driving through the desert and saw a sign for Acoma Pueblo. It was not open when he came upon it, but he vowed that he would return to visit it one day. We headed there after leaving Ruidoso on the way to Albuquerque. Again, it was a lengthy drive, but it was very much worth the time. As you get closer to … Continue reading Acoma Pueblo
The next morning we drove to Carlsbad Caverns. Our entrance time was 1:15pm and it took three hours to drive there. (See why we wanted to go on the way from the airport?) We drove through Roswell on the way. There were so many alien decorations. The wooden ones in front of the gas station were my favorite, but the Dunkin sign was amazing. We stopped to get … Continue reading Carlsbad Caverns
We flew into El Paso and after stopping for lunch and a coffee, we headed to White Sands National Park. We wanted to stop at Carlsbad Caverns because it was fairly close, but the caverns close at five and the last ticket inside is for 2:30 and we just couldn’t make it work. White Sands National Park is right next to the White Sands Missile Range. … Continue reading White Sands National Park, New Mexico
I do love Disney. I’m not a Disney fanatic, like some, but I feel that Disney is magical. When my husband had the opportunity to take a Disney cruise as a travel agent, with a bit of a discount, he knew I would want to check it out. I want to make clear here that we have no children. My husband is not a huge fan of kids … Continue reading Disney Cruise
Our flight from Oahu was at 4:30pm and arrived an hour later on the Big Island. We were able to disembark off the back of the plane, which I love, out onto the tarmac. The entire area of the baggage claim and gates we walked past were all outside. Our bed and breakfast is called the Mango Sunset B&B. It is located on the Lyman Coffee Farm, which … Continue reading Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
