Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 27, 2025 Today we took the party bus to West Punt. I didn’t know it was a party bus, but a party bus it became. We woke at 6:45, and slowly got up, made coffee, and had our remaining HARD boiled eggs. I normally make something akin to medium-hardish steamed eggsContinue reading “You Can Either Have Bruised Knees or a Bruised Ego”

Rum &…Coca-Cola?
Wednesday, November 26, 2025 Today we had no plans, other than a loose suggestion that we should hit Daaibooi (Die-boy) Beach. The weather forecast was not promising, but US weather apps outside of the US are very hit or miss. Mostly miss. So we took the weather forecast with a grain of salt and aContinue reading “Rum &…Coca-Cola?”
I Manifested It
Tuesday, November 25, 2025 Today was another dive day. We woke up about 6:45, and got ready to be at the dive shop at 8:30. We arrived a few minutes early, and Ditte, today’s Divemaster, helped us get our gear into our boxes and ready for the bus. We had 10 divers today, and theyContinue reading “I Manifested It”
We’ll Get a Sledgehammer!
Monday, November 24, 2025 There are days, such as this one, where we had a good time, but nothing truly exciting happened, and I wonder what I’m going to fill the page with. Have no fear. Something always comes up! We had reservations for today with Mermaid Boat Tours, to the island of Klein Curacao. Continue reading “We’ll Get a Sledgehammer!”
I Don’t Know Bar
Saturday, November 23, 2025 Last night we had dinner at a restaurant across the street from our hotel. It was supposed to be a relaxed, casual atmosphere. Before they seated us, they asked us if we had a reservation. Now listen, I can hardly be bothered to make a reservation when I’m at home, andContinue reading “I Don’t Know Bar”
May I Make a Suggestion?
Saturday, November 22, 2025 Last night we had a lovely dinner at a Mexican inspired taco restaurant just a few doors down from our hotel. Nathan had a spicy marg, and I had a passion fruit marg, and we were both in heaven. Nathan might have said some disparaging words about margaritas in Colorado, butContinue reading “May I Make a Suggestion?”
Male in the Bathroom!
Friday November 21, 2025 Such was the story of my week. At some point during July, we decided to renovate our only bathroom. It was a big decision, a big hit to the pocketbook, and an even bigger inconvenience. So, the demolition of our only bathroom commenced last week, and I’ve been ‘suffering’ through workdays,Continue reading “Male in the Bathroom!”
The Luckiest Day
Sunday, June 1, 2025 Neither one of us slept that great, and I was kind of surprised I was sleeping when Nathan’s alarm went off at 5. We quickly got up and ready, finished packing, had a cup of instant coffee, and by 6:30, we were out the door. The bus station is only aboutContinue reading “The Luckiest Day”
Another Day, Another Cafe!
Saturday, May 31, 2025 Our last full day in Slovenia. We got ready for the day after sleeping in until 7 (!), and headed out the door to the same French breakfast place. As we stepped out the door of the hotel, we bumped into the fellow that checked us in on Thursday. We askedContinue reading “Another Day, Another Cafe!”
On the Count of 3, Run!
Saturday, May 30, 2025 Our Barbo Palace room is surprisingly conducive to sleeping and we both woke up well rested. Sadly, they don’t serve breakfast, so we followed their recommendation and went to a little French themed restaurant. Nathan had the English breakfast, and since we’re nearing reentry to our normal lives, I had yogurtContinue reading “On the Count of 3, Run!”
