I am currently working on my blog in the lobby of the Double Tree two blocks from our Air BnB in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I am here because, as our host put it, our building is running on only one power phase. 🤷 No lights, no outlets and no internet. At least the A/C […]

We just finished three terrific weeks in Lima. It was so wonderful I was sad to leave and I know that we will be back! During the past two weeks since I’ve written we enjoyed an easy pace exploring. The week of the 5th we celebrated with a lovely dinner at Huaca Pucllana. I visited […]
Today I am celebrating three years of being cancer free! I couldn’t be more grateful to be here, living this adventure we call life! I welcome all that life has given me because I have learned and grown from all of it. As you know getting diagnosed with cancer was one of the motivating factors […]
You know how sometimes people make the comment, “Google (or any tech/ AI entity) is always listening.” Well, we had our first experience where that was a positive thing. What happened was we booked a trip to Iguazu Falls before we left Argentina, from Asunción Paraguay, on April 11th and decided to spend two nights […]

The past two weeks in Chile were wonderful. I feel like throughout this adventure, at least since we realized we need more than one week in a place, that three weeks is my sweet spot. When we were originally planning our time in Chile we were debating about whether or not we should spend one […]
Santiago is a beautiful city! I have learned SO much since I’ve been here. In the couple weeks that we’ve been in Chile several people have told us that it is considered an island. I looked it up and this is what Google said: Its unique character is given by Chile’s status as a “biogeographic […]
Happy belated Lunar New Year! The Year of the Snake signifies a time of personal growth, transformation, and wisdom. For me it also means continuing to shed what no longer serves me. I arrived in Mexico City on January 28th to kick off the Lunar New Year after Dave and I had a great time […]
It has been a busy couple weeks since I’ve written. On January 4th we moved out of our Air BnB in Santa Fe, after staying there one week, and into a hotel. It ended up being a blessing in disguise for several reasons; we didn’t have our host harassing us 75 times a day, we […]
