Travel Stories - July 2020
Nectar of the Gods
I tasted the "Nectar of the Gods" in the first port stop of our 14-day Panama Canal cruise. It was sooooo good that I bought a bottle as a souvenir (for me!).

The Legend of Holger Dansk
David & I spent an afternoon in the Danish town of Helsingor, home to Kronborg Castle. There, we saw a legendary Viking warrior. It was awesome experience!

Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre
Debra and I found a ray of sunshine on an otherwise cold and rainy day in Quebec City - a basilica dedicated to Sainte Anne, grandmother of Jesus. It was breathtaking!

The Valley Isle
On our 6th visit to Maui, Debra opted for R&R on board the Star Princess. Me? I went on a guided tour of Iao Valley State Park and Maui Tropical Plantation. It was a fun day!

The Turf Tavern
What do David, Bill Clinton, and I have in common? We all patronized "The Turf," a pub in Oxford that traces its roots to the 14th century.

Of Nature and the Arts in San Antonio
On our last day of sightseeing in San Antonio, Debra and I visited the Botanical Garden and Museum of Art. We had a wonderful time!

Las Bahias de Huatulco
Debra and I were in Huatulco, the “City of Nine Bays” on the southern coast of Mexico. I went sightseeing while Debra relaxed on board the Emerald Princess. I had a wonderful time filled with new experiences and memories!

Of Elvis and Autos
David and I were in Tupelo, where we saw an awesome collection of vintage and classic cars and the birthplace of Elvis. We also watched the Super Bowl with a side of wings and a couple of beers at Buffalo Wild Wings. We were off to a great start on our road trip!

Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe was my favorite among the cultural landmarks in Puerto Vallarta. I loved the soaring bell tower, capped with an intricate crown, and alabaster Sanctuary adorned with gilded capitals, lacquered sculptures, and more. It was moving and peaceful!
