Last night ended up not being restful. Garbage is picked up in early morning hours in the neighborhood and the dogs go crazy and it was quite loud.After about an hour, they all finally settled down and so did we. This also reminds me of island life, but not so homey. LOL. Yet the Cuban …

Our next discovery trip is to Cuba, booked for early February 2017. Has been high on my bucket list, so I am very excited. However, I really need to catch up on the blog before our next adventure. This blog is long, so you might want to go tinkle and grab a cup of coffee. Another …

I wanted the title to read ‘When is the Madness Going to End?‘, but decided that a reference to 91 days of travel in Europe would make more sense in the bigger picture. The 5:00am wake up call was not welcome, since we have had very little sleep the past few days, but it was …

So there are about 50 tour people, ages 20’s and 30’s, staying at the hotel which is located conveniently close to the main train station, just a couple of block from the famous ‘Duomo’.

We got up this morning, rearing to go to Paris. Jos drove as they wanted to go too after not having been in the City of Lights for a couple of years. I have to say the trip through Belgium and Northern France was very nerve-wracking, since it was raining and of course other drivers …

Before our 2-day trip to Zeeland we were sleeping on blow up mattresses in Jos’s stunning gallery, but Han was having quite a difficult time bending his meniscus torn knee, getting up off the floor. So when we arrived back from visiting Carly in Middleburg on Wednesday afternoon, Ria had a wonderful surprise for Han in …

Was not looking forward to traveling through Belgium so soon, but to get to see our dear friend Carly is and was very much worth it. She was my maid of honor in our St. Maarten wedding ceremony on the beach for our friends who could not travel to the states. It has been quite …

Slept wonderfully, enjoyed another amazing breakfast and checked out of the Holiday Inn Expo. We were going to take the tram into Ghent, but it was hot and we figured the car would be better. There is much talk about what the town should be called. In the past it was called “Gent” and even …
