Hi Everyone, Thanks for all the comments that have been sent to me. Finally figured out tonight how I could find them to read. I wish you were all with me! We would have a heckuva great time. For those that don't live in a 55+ community, Mexican Train is a domino's game. Last night, for the 3rd time, we moved our clocks ahead 1 hour. We are now 3 hours ahead of Eastern time. You can tell that we are moving north by looking into the shops here. The t-shirts have disappeared and been replaced by sweatsuits, puffer jackets and vests. Today was my slowest moving day yet - and there ain't nothing wrong with that. Found my favorite spot up by the pool this morning and did more reading, people watching and this time, ... read more

Hi Everyone, If anyone is interested in knowing exactly where I am at the time you are interested, you can just click on this link (Thanks Dave!): Current Location on the map: url=https://webmail.centurylink.net/app/Utilities/gateway_url.asp?umsgid=%7B5c98971a-5c23-486c-8fd2-a05ba9f68057%7D&uurl=https%3A//www.seascanner.com/ships-position-nieuw-statendamhttps://www.seascanner.com/ships-position-nieuw-statendam - you will see that we move about an inch a day across the Atlantic. Stayed up last night and finished my book. It was 2:00AM before the lights got turned out. This morning started out slowly for me. Got up, took a shower and then went back to bed! When I got up for good, I went to the dining reservations desk to add 2 more people to my reservation for tomorrow night for one of the fancy restaurants that is included in my package. 2 of the folks that I meet up wit... read more

Hi Everyone, Had a super night's sleep last night. Don't think I moved until 7AM. Then I rolled over and went back to sleep. At 10AM, I went to a "Meet and Greet" with people that had been participating for the last couple months on a long blog that was specifically for people on this particular sailing. Met a lot of very nice people. After it, I heard a couple mention the words "Mexican Train" from across the room so I went over and asked if they were looking for more players, I'd be happy to play. We spent the afternoon playing with another gentleman who had overheard our discussion. Anyone that plays MT knows there are a lot of different house rules that different people play by. Let me tell you, this guy Dave had ... read more

Goodness, it’s been a long time since I made a post about my travels. Unfortunately, in the past few years, I had to make some major changes to my life. So I am not able to travel as much as I want. Well, I have taken a few trips back to Korea and even did a stint in Thailand and Cambodia but neglected to write about it. The first reason is that I got married a couple of years ago and am now a Mom! Anyway, enough about me and lets talk about where I am now. So I am currently in Augusta, GA this week for the Masters tournament. My job is sending me there to give our readers a Masters sports betting update. It’s my first assignment out of the office that I have ... read more

I'm pretty sure I have a Travel Blog post with the exact same titlefrom 2017. In fact, when I'm done writing this blog post, I should compare the two. I suspect they'll be very similar! Just like in 2017, we hopped in our car to chase totality. We're staying in Austin, Texas. Our original plan was to watch the eclipse from the hotel to avoid having to deal with traffic afterwards. It was a great plan except for the clouds. Today, Austin is forecasted to have almost 90% cloud cover. I scoured the weather reports for nearby towns. Things are worse to the south and southwest of us. Cloud-wise, it's about the same directly west. North is slightly better. But northwest... northwest is where it's at! We decided our best bet was to head to a ... read more
