Nashville Trip Report - May 14 - 21, 2026

My friend of 40 years and I were trying to plan to vacation somewhere together again after our last visit two years ago in Bermuda.  I wanted to go back there but she was already set in most of her plans for the year.  Then she thought about inviting me to join her while she was housesitting for her niece's dogs in Nashville.  She drove from Ohio with two other lady friends of hers.

Northern Europe Cruise Trip Report - April 17 - 28, 2026

I booked this cruise on a whim, solo.  I just wanted to get away in April or May and saw this come up in email.  It was already final payment due, so 80 days out.  It's the first time I ever let a cruise company handle my airfare, so I was slightly worried and concerned but once it was done there was no sense fretting about it as there was nothing I could do...it was more the waiting to find out my flights that was bothersome, I struggle with things I have no control of.  I got my air tickets Feb. 5th and the flights were okay AND included luggage/carry-on, yay 😊.  Direct to Paris CDG and there is no direct from Copenhagen to home, so I had to stop in Toronto but that is usual anyway when no direct flight available...
