This morning as we ate breakfast, we pulled out the Canada map we acquired yesterday at AAA and began to figure out where we could go over the next couple of months. Do we want to venture into Canada now and head west through the provinces? We’d already begun to question whether the wildfires might dampen our enthusiasm for visiting California this fall then we began to look not only at the wildfires in southwestern Canada but the air quality in the western states. There’s one thing we really really want to do and that’s visit family in Salt Lake City so we’ll do that first. Then we’ll continue to watch the air quality reports and make plans as we go along!
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!
