I was up early today to run through my survival routine; shower, heat pack , Ibuprofen, and a shot on the TENS machine. I have new respect for women who rise early to go through their daily routine of cosmetic applications. I didnt even look any better after my effort. We packed the car, bought a takeaway coffee at Babbo, and headed south east across the overcast Battlefields of World War One. I Read on...
Today we were booked for our move out of our BCNGotic apartment to the Abba Sants Hotel which was included in our cruise to return home. I called the hotel and asked if we could check in late in the day, they assured me it was no problem. I then checked with BCNGotic who said if we collected our bags before we left for the day, they would store them in their office where we could retrieve them whe Read on...

This is the museum where Vermeers Girl with The Pearl Earring is hanging as well as several Rembrandts, other Vermeers, Rubens Read on...
Looking for a peaceful beach to unwind, heal spiritually, and soak up some sun, ushered me to on the Big Island Hawaii. Kona pleasantly surprised me. The island vibe captured my heart immediately. Now, it is my favorite destination. Royal Kona Resort became my home away from home on my first trip. I chose this hotel because it had all the amenities I sought. This way I would not have to leave the Read on...
Life is good....very good. We are still at our rented cottage on Keuka Lake. Only a few more days to enjoy this easy living life we have accustomed to.

An ambitious agenda was planned for our first full day in Marrakesh which is not surprising considering how much there is to see and do here. As mentioned in my preceding blog, the noise from the heavily congested roundabout traffic circle next t Read on...
I turned on New Mexico Hwy 567 and drove to Carson, NM. I think that town was named for Kit Carson. They have an active post office. I had to stop and check out this old antique car body. I dont know, but I think it is a model A Ford. With no stop signs it was quick to get on to BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land; and a very fun but careful drive down the dirt road into the Rio Grande Gorge. Aft Read on...
