To celebrate his 90th Birthday our Dad and Alice flew to Dublin and did a wonderful week long trip through the Irish countryside then began hatching plans for a return trip the following year. Then things changed and Dad extracted a promise from his daughters that they would all go in his stead. Today we began the journey when our limousine driver Scott picked us up at Alice’s house. We celebrated with Gruet, a New Mexican champagne on our journey to the Dallas Fort Worth Airport!
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!
Ah we loved meeting you! Cannot wait to follow your adventure!
