Once off the ship we headed for home via bus. Michael met us at the Pinellas Park stop, strapped luggage to the roof of the Volvo then stuffed four of us and more luggage into the car saving just barely enough room to fit in Emily and Matthew. From our house we dropped off friend Ed then proceeded to Santiago Court with brother Ed. There we dined on fabulous Cuban sandwiches. We eventually arrived home about ten that night.
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
