Today we got up to sunny skies again. After breakfast, Donna, Nathan & and I walked down to the public beach for a little swim before Donna needed to see a client at 11. We decided to come back after lunch and rent paddleboards and kickboards and whatever fun toys struck our fancy. While weContinue reading “My Hip is in a Corn Hole”

The Pool is Milky!
We woke up to a beautiful, sunny day. The plan was for Phil to take Alice fishing in the morning, but 10 year old little girls do not always get up in time for Grandpa’s fishing excursions. So instead, Phil and Deb went to church, Donna and Dennis went to the pool and Nathan andContinue reading “The Pool is Milky!”
The Sun Will Come Out!
We woke to find ominously cloudy skies. I packed a beach bag anyway, and Nathan and I went to find groceries and coffee for breakfast. The local Sunshine Foods left a lot to be desired, namely, the whole organic section was missing, and we did the best we could with what they had. We gotContinue reading “The Sun Will Come Out!”
I was supposed to prepare some remarks?
Our journey to Iowa started easy enough. Our Covid tests came back negative. (Not required, just respectful). Both of us were able to disentangle from work close enough to 5 on Thursday that it didn’t lead to any additional stress. Fibs was dropped off at the kennel without any problem. Surely the journey won’t beContinue reading “I was supposed to prepare some remarks?”
Was I Supposed To Wait For You Back There?
On Monday we had a few leisurely hours to spend in Panama City before we needed to catch an Uber to the airport. We ate breakfast at the restaurant in our hostel. Then I decided that I needed to head to the Farmacia to get anti-itch skin cream for the flight home. I was hopingContinue reading “Was I Supposed To Wait For You Back There?”
You Must Wear a Swim Suit to Get in the Water!
We woke up this morning at 6:20, got ready and headed out to a nearby coffee shop for breakfast. We are not in an apartment with a kitchen in Panama City. Instead, we have a hotel style room with en suite bathroom in a youth hostel. This particular hostel is heavy on the youth withContinue reading “You Must Wear a Swim Suit to Get in the Water!”
Are you wearing deodorant today?
Today was a travel day. We woke up at 6 am, to shower, eat breakfast and finish packing to leave. Arlene, our hostess had arranged for Gideon’s Taxi Service to pick us up at 8 am and deposit us at the airport. The airline had emailed a day or two ago, moving our flight fromContinue reading “Are you wearing deodorant today?”
No, No, You’re Diving
Today was our last full day on Bequia before we start the long multi-day journey home. We had nothing booked for today but had loosely agreed to go on the first morning dive with the dive shop. You need to have at least 12 to 18 hours of a ‘surface interval’ after diving before flyingContinue reading “No, No, You’re Diving”
C’mon Andy, we’ll Brexit together!
Today was the day! The day we sail to the Tobago Cays aboard the Friendship Rose. We woke up early with an alarm because we needed to be at the Friendship Rose dock by 6:50. Thankfully, they were going to feed us aboard the 100 foot schooner, so we really only needed to gather ourContinue reading “C’mon Andy, we’ll Brexit together!”
The Things You Do For Love
Last night we spent a good long time talking with Kevin from Mac’s Pizza. Our Nirvana Pizza might have been forgotten by the waitress or kitchen, but we were relaxing, talking and having a good time, so we didn’t care. The only trouble was that made it a three drinks night and Mac’s has theContinue reading “The Things You Do For Love”
