It started with some extended conversations with the city campground maintenance staff about the problems with the electrical wiring and the prospects of correcting the issues then moved on to a tour of the T@B for a staff member. Then as we proceeded with breakfast preparation and decamping activities a local resident showed up to learn more about our little gypsy wagon and was joined a few minutes later by another local neighbor. Suffice to say any plans we might have had to depart Aberdeen early was modified. But we also have to say we like meeting people and sharing information about these tiny trailers!
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!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
