As eleven travel weary family members including a fifteen-month old, we opted to stay in for Christmas dinner. Golden Wall Chinese Restaurant was good enough to deliver us a verifiable feast. We enjoyed digging in and eating off styrofoam plates and drinking wine from red plastic glasses. Now we’re settled in watching the 1938 A Christmas Carol as Linus explores the tiny places in our suite! It’s a Comfortable Christmas Celebration.
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!
