April 2022 -All Aboard Wonder of the Seas
Written by Kim Our shuttle picked us up at 10 am to head to the ship. The lines were long and it was a bit chaotic at Fort Lauderdale port. Evidently some passengers from the arriving cruise didn’t depart so we had to wait for the counts to clear before they started boarding. We were […]
April 2022 – Start our Transatlantic Adventure
Written by Kim Our flights were uneventful to get to Fort Lauderdale. One drawback of living in Myrtle is that the flights are limited especially with Covid and many trips require a connection.

They offered us nearly free rooms ($139 for 4 nights) which couldn’t compete with the expensive Airbnb rooms in South Florida. They know we will gamble […]

Jan 2022 – Short trip to NJ
Written by Kim I flew up to NJ on Sunday while Alex finished his golf tournament. My flight was rescheduled due to the snow on Saturday and was packed. Overhead bin storage was limited so I was glad I only brought my under the seat bag. Those bags are great and I can pack for […]
