Tuesday morning we hugged Linus and Rachel goodbye then trekked with Greg to their local T station and on to South Station where we got hugs from him then climbed aboard the Quiet Car on the Northeast Regional. At New York Penn Station we enjoyed good food and libations at Kabooz’s then waited in the Amtrak lounge for The Crescent which finally departed an hour late. Nearly the entire trip from Boston south to Greenville was in the rain. So grateful that we were ensconced in our tiny private little space for the journey. After we debarked at 6AM, we found coffee and breakfast at a nearby Waffle House. Now we’re back at Tween Creeks. Our task today is to unpack and catch up on sleep. Tomorrow we’ll begin preparing for the next departure!
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!
