I am not a wine 🍷 drinker….
But I couldn’t go to Tuscany, Italy 🇮🇹 and not do a wine tasting!!

Taking our cycling international!!

Monte and I love cycling in the US so much that we decided to try out a bike tour in Tuscany, Italy🇮🇹 with a couple of friends from our !!

After spending time exploring Florence’s museums, shops, and cafes, we met our group and headed to Collemezzano, Italy. Our stay was at a family-run agriturismo hotel that produces much of its own wine, olive oil, fruit and vegetables.

We met our Trip Leaders and officially began our Tuscan coast bike tour with a safety and bike-fitting session before a short warm-up ride 🚴🏾‍♂️🚴🏽‍♀️ over gentle hills, past old farmhouses shaded by cypress trees.

Later that evening, our host and hotel owner, Luigi Brunetti, provided us with a wine tasting 🍷of the wines his family produces and took us on a guided tour of his wine cellar.

After a delicious dinner, we turned in for the night excited about our first day of riding! Well one of us may have been really nervous about the next day’s ride, but I won’t mention any names because it may have been me. 🫣

What a nice surprise!!

So it turns out that while we were in Jamaica 🇯🇲 back in May, Monte secretly bought us shirts to wear during our Christmas cruise port of call in Jamaica 🇯🇲! He surprised us with them the night before we docked in Jamaica! All of the staff at our favorite breakfast spot on the ship cheered 👏🏽 for us when they saw us come in for breakfast wearing our shirts. So of course all the other cruisers all turn around looking at us as we walk in. It was so funny!! 🤭

Magical Christmas 🎄 at Sea

What could be better than spending Christmas with family? Spending it with your family on a cruise!! No cooking, no dishes…but still having all the fun!!

And just as we have done year after year, both land & sea, we still had our Family Night, complete with gift exchange 🎁, smack-talking games 🎲, and lots of laughs on Christmas Eve!

This year, the ship offered The Price is Right Live on the evening of Christmas Day. My parents were so excited! This is one of their favorite games. My mom couldn’t wait for the game! So we were all so surprised and literally in shock when Pop Bill was called up to be one of the contestants! Unfortunately they didn’t allow us to take pictures or video because after he got over the shock of his name being called, he jumped up throwing his hands in the air and did his little dance down the aisle to the front! 😂🤣😂.

Definitely a Christmas to remember!!

The Journey Was Long…But The Memories Will Last Forever!! 💕

Wow!! As a result of the all to common flight ✈️ delays, it took Monte and I an entire day to get to Orlando, FL from Memphis, TN! Everything was great as we left Memphis bright and early and arrived in Atlanta. But then Atlanta happened!! Our flight was delayed for several hours. Prior to boarding our flight from Atlanta to Orlando, Monte just could not understand why I had to have a backpack full of snacks and drink for a 1 hour flight. Well, he would come to appreciate that I did later on when we winded up sitting on the airplane for several hours due to a mechanical issue. Although they did serve us bottled water and snacks after a couple of hours, we didn’t have to wait, because I was prepared with my own “good” snacks 😋, drink, and books 📚. It almost felt like a mini-vacation right there on the plane. (Monte didn’t think so!) 😂

That night we finally made it to Orlando. We were sad that we got there too late to go visit my uncle with the rest of the family. But boy were we thankful that we had not only made the decision to fly-in the day before our cruise, but that we didn’t have to leave the airport because our hotel was right there!

The next morning made it all worth it when we met up with our family and headed over to Port Canaveral for our Christmas 🎄 Cruise on the brand new NCL Prima!! We haven’t seen some of our family members in years! So it was wonderful for all of us to be together again! ❤️ I didn’t get a lot of pictures of the ship but believe me when I tell you it is absolutely gorgeous!! 🤩

Camels 🐪 in Mexico 🇲🇽??

Yes, there are! Turns out, there is a camel breeding farm in the good ole USA 🇺🇸- deep in the heart of Texas. Several camels were purchased by Mexican Tour Operators. This little guy was born in Mexico 🇲🇽. He’s 1 year old. So now you can ride a camel 🐪 on your next visit to Mexico 🇲🇽.

⚡️Ride or Die⚡️

I consider myself a pretty adventurous person. Monte reluctantly goes along with me even when he doesn’t want to because I don’t want to do crazy stuff alone. 🤣 Well today it was my turn to go along even though I didn’t want to. I was scared!! 🥺 I don’t know why I was afraid 🤷🏽‍♀️. I like dune buggies and I like speed but I guess I don’t like those things when I’m not the driver. Monte, who never requests to do any excursions, decided he wanted to do the Can Am X3 Turbo Side by Side 🏎💨 since we are in the desert 🏜. Of course I couldn’t let him do it alone 😩.

Well, I did it and I didn’t die!!! 😳. I even took a turn at driving — scaring myself going uphill because you’re going so fast and can’t see what’s on the other side! Could be a drop or curve🫣. I probably should have slowed down — but nah!! What fun would that be??? So there was lots of screaming 😱 involved (I’m pretty sure it was all from me, but it could have been from… nevermind🤣) and lots of fun too!!

Is it really road tripping if it doesn’t include a stop at ??? 🤔

Reminiscing today about Good Times Growing Up on the Jersey Shore ☀️

Today Monte and I had fun playing pinball at a cool bar/restaurant here in Memphis. It brought back so many wonderful memories of our childhood in New Jersey.

My cousins and I would walk to Long Branch beach to hangout on the boardwalk with our friends and play pinball and other games at the arcade. On our return back home, there was a spot where we would run across the jetty jumping from rock to rock trying to avoid being splashed by the waves. For some reason we always managed to get splashed 💦. Then we had to wait around until our clothes dried before we could go back home because, of course, risking your life by running on the wet jetty was a big No, No…no matter how fun we thought it was.

As a teenager, Monte was lucky enough to work at one of the arcades on Asbury’s boardwalk. Today he found a pinball machine that was one of his favorites! Unfortunately, after playing it one time, he broke it…I mean it broke just when we were going to compete against each other. 🤔. He probably knew I would win. 😂

We had a great time and plan to go back soon! Turns out, it was a great way to beat the Memphis heat!

He’s Jamaican Me Crazy and I Like It!!
💕Happy 34th Anniversary to Us!💕

Ahhhh….Miami!!!

Turns out that Miami can be a great place to relax and just live in the moment. That’s exactly what we did and it felt amazing!!

To top it off— Monte and I were so happy to have our daughter join us!! Even though she wasn’t interested in a bike ride, we managed to get a fun ride in after she left.

Broadway is Back at the Orpheum in Memphis!! 🎭

After what seems like forever, Monte and I were finally able to see another show at the Orpheum tonight. Come From Away was so incredible!! It could not have been a better season opener!! If you get the opportunity to see it, we both would highly recommend it!!

Happy National Son’s Day to our handsome son, Monte ❤️

Whoever said, “You never have the wind 🌬 with you - it’s either against you or you’re having a good day,” must have cycled 🚴🏽‍♀️the Bikes Blues & Bayous Ride in Greenwood, MS.

Monte and I were fortunate enough to cycle this ride with Major Taylor Memphis Cycling Club. The activities started on Friday night with a wonderful pre-ride dinner and fellowship.

This morning was the actual ride. We had the best time! I can’t even tell you how much I appreciated the members of Major Taylor Memphis! I was supported & encouraged to ride my farthest distance yet (46 miles!!) while we took turns pulling each other through the wind, then I was nurtured when my legs started cramping at mile 26, and very much inspired seeing other club members accomplish their goals.

We were also reminded of the horrific murder of Emmitt Till as we stopped at the store where he was accused of inappropriate actions with the store owner. 😢 When we signed up for this ride, I had not associated the location with the tragedy of Emmitt Till so this was truly an eye-opener.

When your husband has to try out every tent, and I mean literally, every single tent before he decides which one he’s keeping 🧐, you wake up to beautiful sunrise views from the perfect tent. 🤩🏕☀️

“Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully.”

Our trip to the National Harbor didn’t go as planned but we realize that God allowed us to be in the exact place where we could be the most useful.

I had every intention of working out 🚲 at least 4 out of the 8 days we were on vacation but after this first day, that gym never saw me again. Relaxation is what was needed and that’s exactly what I did! 🤩 Ahhh....

Didn’t go chasing waterfalls…chased the Sunset instead! El Arco (The Arch) is Cabo San Lucas’ most famous landmark. It’s a rock formation that erupts from the sea at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Just like you wouldn’t go to Paris and not see the Eiffel Tower, you can’t go to Cabo San Lucas and not see El Arco!! I never ever, ever, ever travel without Dramamine…but there’s always that one time. Well this was that one time. So taking a Sunset Cruise was not high on my list. But then when they said Dinner Cruise 😋, I thought 🤔, of course we should do it! 😂After all, this was Monte’s first time to Cabo so of course he must go to see El Arco! 😉Fortunately, the seas were calm, the food was good, the staff was so funny & entertaining, and the views of El Arco and the Sunset were beautiful! 🤩
