Written by Kim Barbados is one of our favorite islands. It’s pretty far south and east in the Caribbean so we don’t cruise here often but it’s always a treat. The people are lovely, the sea is so blue, there’s lots of turtles to see so we usually go snorkeling Our friend, Dee, found a […]

Written by Kim After a busy bus tour in St Lucia yesterday, we looked forward to a relaxing beach day at Tobago. We had never been here and realize this is the southern most point we’ve been to. Did you know Tobago is south west of Barbados and considered part of South America. We weren’t […]

Written by Kim We always enjoy a stop at Hard Rock Hollywood during our January Florida adventure. We’re not huge gamblers but like to play pai gow poker and some slots. We know the casinos always win but we’ve been on quite a roll with the same gambling money we budgeted before Christmas which is […]

For the last few years we’ve been planning a longer January trip with includes the Open. Alex has golfed in this tournament for 14 years. The shenanigans at the Embassy […]
