In the twelve weeks since we left home we have done a grand loop around our great country. We’ve been to San Francisco and Boston and so many places in between. Tonight we are headed in the direction of our house in the Smokies. A funny thing has happened to us in the last year. We have spent so much time in the T@B that it feels like home. We’ve lived in it for six out of the last twelve months! Although we will be glad to pause and regroup at the house, we expect the urge to hitch up the gypsy wagon to overtake us again soon. These last twelve weeks have been exciting, fun, and educational. We’ve really enjoyed the lifestyle, the places we’ve been to and the people we’ve met or visited with along the way
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!
When the urge strikes, head to our house, the beer is chillin’ and the burgers are ready!
Expect us sometime this winter!
