Let the Greek Isles cruise begin

On June 4, 2023July 8, 2023 By DBmakesIn Greece and Italy June 20238 Comments

Day 1:  Saturday, June 3 2023 After enjoying a leisurely morning in our Athens apartment, our taxis arrived at 11:30. It took only 30 minutes to travel to the very large Port of Piraeus.  What a simple and quick embarkation process we had compared to a large cruise ship!  I do stand corrected about our …

Athens ….

On June 2, 2023June 2, 2024 By DBmakesIn Greece and Italy June 202314 Comments

With a population of over 3 million people, and probably even MORE than that visiting right now, I'm impressed with how well the city still moves. I can certainly tell I'm not in Sahuarita anymore! We made the most of our Friday here. We got a little bit of a late start since Holli and …

Mamma Mia! I’m REALLY going to Greece????

Florida Family

On February 3, 2023January 10, 2024 By DBmakesIn Florida 202314 Comments

After a year of no air travel in 2022, I'm ready to try flying again. Joe and I did fly to Pismo Beach over this last Christmas to see my family, and that ended up being THE BEST decision considering the weather and travel nightmares in the rest of the country. I got a wild …

Carlsbad, New Mexico

On December 4, 2022 By DBmakesIn Experiences7 Comments

It is always so interesting to visit the city where Joe Madrid grew up. Since my pre-adulthood consisted of never living in one place longer than 4 years, I am intrigued by his boyhood, teenage, and "bad boy" stories. And living in a desert city in Southeast New Mexico that has a literal "river running …
