Written by Kim Off on another short 4 day cruise. Embarkation was crowded but simple. We went up to Viking Crown to have a drink, get our bearings and decide on dinner reservations because cabins weren’t ready when we got on board. This cruise is a “free” casino cruise so we purchased the ultimate dining […]

Written by Kim We enjoyed our day at Bimini. Bimini is a private beach / pool area for only Virgin guests on a Bahamas island. There are a few pools and a beach. We had a really good bbq lunch with jerk chicken, pulled pork and rice & beans (sorry no pics). At 1:00 pm […]

Written by Kim Key West is a favorite destination of ours so was part of the reason we booked this cruise. We enjoy the vibe in Key West and have stayed there several times previously despite how expensive accommodations are. Rather than drink all day we thought it would be best to try the Voice […]

Written by Kim We took a short detour to visit Alex’s mom in Tennessee so our trip to Miami was a bit longer than you might expect. We drove about 1400 miles and 23+ hours with an overnight stop in Warner Robins, GA after leaving mom’s. It was a bit of a rainy drive so […]

Written by Kim It was a cold day around freezing when we arrived at Woodford Reserve for our 9:30 am tour. Woodford certainly has a different feel than Buffalo Trace. It was fancier, richer looking and appeared much newer but its history explains some of that. It had a very uppidy feel and even the […]

Written by Kim Our ride from Mom’s house in Sparta, TN to Frankfort, KY was about 4 hours. We were heading north so a bit further from home but we don’t mind spending time in the car. Our Audi is very comfy and has treated us well. The ride is very picturesque with lots of […]

Written by Kim Our last stop on our Europe trip was Lisbon. We added the stop because our flight home was on TAP Portugal and they offer significant discounts if you “layover” at least one night in either Porto or Lisbon. We chose to stay 3 nights in Lisbon to explore another city. We really […]

Written by Kim We took the train from Antwerp to Brugges. What we thought would be a simple 90 train ride turned into quite a challenge. When we got to Antwerp Central station while waiting for our train we were told the train was not coming to central station today so we had to go […]

Written by Kim Thanks to all who met us on our adventure or traveled with us virtually. We had quite the trip. As you know, Alex and I are both numbers geeks so let me start with some of our stats. Our trip lasted 23 days, where we had 8 stops in 8 beds, 7 […]

Written by Kim Our trip to Belgium was largely about seeing friends. With my job at J&J I estimate that I’ve been to Belgium 50+ times but Alex had never been there so I wanted to relive some of my favorite things and experience them with him. Originally we planned to stay in Antwerp and […]
