It’s the last week of July as I write this, and Steve (DOS) and I are sailing on the beautiful Celebrity Beyond. While we don’t normally take a Caribbean Cruise during the summer months, we made an exception to try…
Hot Summer Days, COVID, and ICD Implant (re-scheduled)!
This is just a quick post as I’ve been away from blogging for several weeks. Nothing to report much in this post on the travel front, but in the next post I’m working on a write-up of our recent cruise…
Way-cation Week In Sarasota
Steve (DOS) and I took a week’s mid-July trip to Sarasota for some relaxation, good meals, and some short daytime activities. Sarasota is only a 2 1/2 hour drive from our home in Orlando, so while technically not a “stay-cation”,…
Quick Update: Back home for a while
I haven’t posted for quite a while, and for the craziest of reasons (i.e. I hurt my hand and haven’t been able to type! More down further in this post). We’ve been back home from our Doha, Australia, and New…

It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted, during which time I’ve been recovering at home from my pacemaker surgery, and generally taking it easy a bit. It’s been nice being home, and not tied up to so many wires in…
