A short diary of Iceland’s south coast day trip to include seljalandsfoss, skogafoss, kvernufoss, reynisjara beach, dyrholaey, and the plane crash site.
Iceland Adventure Braurfoss, Geysir, Gullfoss, Secret Lagoon
So we left off with what already seemed to be a full day. But we still had several adventures ahead of us. Our next stop was to be Brúarfoss waterfall. Our itinerary was taking us counterclockwise around the ring road. This waterfall is not visible from the road and you must be paying attention to find it. Our directions did […]
Iceland – Snorkel Silfra and Thingvellir Park
I had tried to refrain from getting excited about our trip to Iceland. From the moment I bought the airline tickets it seemed like maybe we had made a mistake, like somebody didn’t want us to go. But we had prepared and we couldn’t stop from get excited. We had a pretty tight schedule planned right after arrival. If anything […]
Our latest adventure
So I was asked to write blog entries about our recent trip to Iceland. My mother was confused as to why I would choose this destination. Honestly even though we had talked about it several times I think my husband was confused as well. I typically don’t like the cold. In fact I have long believed that I would die […]
No one cares about anyone over 40
My daughter used to ask me to read books that she liked. She never disappointed me with her recommendations. Eventually I talked her into reading one of my favorite books, Outlander, which just happens to be a series. She had finished the first book in time for the television series’ debut. (It is always a mistake to watch a TV […]
Empty Nest
So it’s time for the next chapter in my life. I’ll be honest – I don’t like change. But life is about change. And this is a change I spent the last 21 years working towards. I’m about to be an empty nester! From the time I was a little girl I had one true dream in life – to […]
Election Day Chaos
Today we will learn the fate of our country. I pray we make the right choice even though I’m not sure we have been given a “right” choice to choose from. I struggled so much with what to do. One thing I never wavered on though was my need to vote. Did I want to vote? No. But did I […]
Inca Trail- Day 3 &4, Machu Picchu
I was looking forward to a shorter hike on Day 3 but still was not convinced it was going to be as “easy peezy limon squeezy” as promised. We had been told that this would be the day of 3000 steps. I’m still not sure who counted those steps as I believe we went down more than 3000 depending on […]
Inca Trail Day 2, Dead Woman’s Pass, Peru
Day two was here. After a precarious night’s sleep we were up by 5 AM. We were awakened each morning with a choice of coca tea or coffee (Nescafe instant) delivered to our tent and hot water to wash our hands. It was then time to pack up, fairly quickly. In a matter of about thirty minutes we were dressed, […]
