Nov 2025 – Our last day in Sydney
Written by Kim Our last day in Sydney was a bit of a quiet day as we prepare to board the ship tomorrow. We walked up the hill for breakfast which was absolutely amazing. I had a breakfast stack which was a hash brown, portobello mushroom, avocado, cheese and poached eggs on a bed of […]
Nov 2025 – A day trip to the Blue Mountains
Written by Kim We began our day early on the 6:10 ferry to meet our tour to the Blue Mountains. We booked our tour directly with Anderson Tours and had an excellent guide Jay who took 20 of us in a van to visit one of Sydney’s most visited tourist attractions. The Blue Mountain area […]
Nov 2025 – Biking around Sydney and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge
Written by Kim Today we took a tour with Sydney Harbour Bike tours that took us all over Sydney and back and forth across the bridge. We started the day with some breakfast sandwiches and my flat white which I love. My knee is still a bit sore but it held out especially because we […]
Nov 2025 – Meandering around Sydney
Written by Kim After a long day of travel yesterday we took it easy today getting the lay of the land on the ferry, trains and other transportation exploring Sydney. Our apartment is in Neutral Bay across the harbor from downtown. It’s quite hilly but a very picturesque neighborhood. It’s about a 7 minute walk […]

Sept. 2025 – A Stop to break up the drive to NJ at MGM National Harbor
Written by Kim We do the drive from North Myrtle Beach to NJ quite often and it’s often a 12 hour drive when we go to North Jersey so decided this time to change it up a bit. The DC traffic is the worst so we’re hoping a stop at the casino to break it […]
July 2025 – A few more days chillin in Key West
Written by Kim We started my birthday on Thursday with a delicious breakfast at Blue Heaven. Blue Heaven is a cute outdoor restaurant tucked in a backyard setting which is pretty typical for Key West. We enjoyed a few delicious omelets with the chickens begging a bit like Boomer. I think I shared the story […]
