Our next adventure began a couple of hours ago when we left home after dark to head to the Greenville SC Amtrak Station and The Crescent scheduled to depart at 10:58PM. With some time to spare we checked Yelp! and chose Soby’s in downtown for dinner. Good call! Our choice off the chef driven menu was to share a most delectable Pork Tenderloin dinner followed by a Snickerdoodle Cheesecake. The cuisine exuded Southern style and the service did too. Got a text from Amtrak while we were dining advising us that the train is running behind schedule. We lingered long enough at table that the ice rink was cleared of skaters by the time we walked past on our way back to the truck but the festive lights along the street made for a delightful scene augmented by the crisp chilly air.
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!
