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 […]
January 2024 – Scarlet Lady visits Bimini
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 […]
January 2024 – Key West
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 […]
January 2024 – Our Virgin Voyage on Scarlet Lady
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 […]
October 2023 – Brugges, Belgium
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 […]

October 2023 – Belgium – Antwerp
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 […]
Sept 2023 – Heidelberg – maybe it will post this time

I’m not very good at this website stuff but disabled some plug-ins (not even sure what they are) but…here goes Heidelberg is located in the southwest of Germany on the Neckar river. It’s a small town with about […]
Sept 2023 – Oktoberfest Munich

It’s been 9 years since we were here. We’re a bit older and greyer but felt like veterans. There are 14 […]
Sept 2023 – Visiting Vienna
Written by Kim Slow down you crazy child, you’re so ambitious for a juvenile – Vienna waits for you. I couldn’t get that Billy Joel song out of my head the whole time we were here. We started our first day in a free walking tour but the tour was very big and it didn’t […]
