Written by Kim We were so lucky to get to spend a week with our moms on Oasis. It was fun to spoil them with top of the line accommodations and genie service. We were reminded of things that make us very similar to our moms and where as we’ve grown we’re different. Many times […]

Written by Kim When we woke up we were near our home in Myrtle Beach but as we sailed today it got cooler and windier. We had a busy day planned so it was fine. We had breakfast at Johnny Rockets then went to the Captain’s Corner. I enjoy listening to the questions for the […]

Written by Kim Now that we’ve been here a few days we finally know our way around the city. We’ve walked an average of 12,000 steps each day. On the first day it took us about 25 minutes to walk to the Palace because we went in a very roundabout way. Today the walk from […]

Written by Kim We got a great deal on TAP Portugal for business class seats home. We were a little skeptical because the ticket was 1/3 the price of other airlines and reviews were a little mixed but we figured for the price it was worth a try. I am spoiled traveling in business class […]
