My first game at Wrigley: I got a new visor, got to see them Fly the W, and got to sing Go, Cubs, Go. ❤️

I lost all of my yellow golf balls today so I was relegated to play with this orange ball. 😆

Merit was beautiful. The weather was gorgeous. My caddie was fantastic. 💚

Not a bad way to experience the only Great Lake located entirely in the U.S.

Well, I finally got to The Bean in Chicago. It is as dreamy and as shiny as I imagined.

Officially named Cloud Gate, The Bean is located in Millennium Park. Its curved bean shape distorts and reflects the Chicago skyline. It is 33 feet tall, 66 feet long, and 42 feet wide.

I can check The Bean off my bucketlist now. 10/10 and highly recommend!

Good night from Chicago.

First thing Monday morning: THE BEAN!

This is my first time visiting Chitown. Besides The Bean, what else should I do, see, eat?

Arigatou to the Japan National Tourism Organization and Celebrity Cruises for hosting my colleagues and I for a great Lunch & Learn today in Phoenix.

I have Japan penciled in on my calendar for Spring 2025.

Want to come with me? 🇯🇵

Good morning! Today is September 12th, and it will be a high of 99 degrees in Scottsdale. 🥵

C’mon weather. Let’s get into the 80s soon!

I’m back in my home office today sitting in the front row on the Jet Lag Struggle Bus. But, my bird friend has been visiting throughout my workday to keep me going.

So, this happened. 🥰

When I played at Donegal Golf Club, the only day we played in the rain in Ireland, it was competition day. We didn’t find out the results until tonight at the Awards Ceremony.

Guess who won 2nd place and was presented her prizes from Captain Jonas?!? And, the best part: my prize included this new head cover for my 1 Club!

For my fellow cruisers, you know that this means that tomorrow is disembarkation day. Sadness. 😔

For those unfamiliar with cruises, this is part of the disembarkation process. The night before you leave the ship, you’re asked to tag and place your luggage outside your stateroom. Your luggage is taken by the cruise staff and you collect it in the morning in the cruise terminal after you disembark the ship. It’s a wonderful thing!

Just remember: keep important documents, medications, clothes (yikes!), and anything else you may need in the morning with you. I typically have a small carryon suitcase that I keep on the last night and walk off the ship with those items.

Azamara’s Brunch Celebration was delicious. The spread was pretty to look at and even better to taste. 😋

P.S. It is grilled chicken and veggies when I get home to Arizona. 😅

I jumped for joy on the 18th hole at Fota Island Golf Club because I survived my 6th round of Ireland golf. 🍀

I don’t know how it happened, but after golfing in Ireland, my handicap went down. How is that even possible?!?

My Ballybunion golf day was an adventure.

At 7:45am, I was off the ship, sitting in the tender boat en route for my 10:44am tee time. There was so much fog that the local Harbormaster in Foynes suspended all tenders into port. So, I went back to the ship until 11:15am when the fog had lifted. At 12:30pm, I arrived at Ballybunion Golf Course, where they immediately started me on hole 7, one of the most picturesque holes in Ireland.

I ended up only golfing 11 holes, but those 11 holes were the best golfing experience I have ever had!

The course was beautiful, the beach and ocean waves were dreamy, my caddie Pat was amazing, and I shot 55 on the back nine.

Ballybunion is Close To Heaven (CTH)! 💚

🍀

08/29/2024

My first time golfing in the rain in Ireland was at Donegal. My newly purchased rain jacket was put to good use when I teed off at 10:10am and then again on hole 10. Other than that, it was a little windy, but dry and sunny!

Of the four courses that I’ve played on this trip, Donegal has been my favorite. I loved seeing the sheep from the course, playing in the Ireland rain, and my par on hole 16! 💚

I have two more days of golf: Ballybunion and Fota Island.

08/27/2024

Today’s round was Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush, which will host The 153rd Open in 2025.

I think this was the hardest course that I have played so far. I lost a 2 balls and found myself in thick gorse and bunkers (with an “s”) a few times, but I got to play another rainless Ireland golf round.

As a bonus, I enjoyed the beach views. 🏝️

08/26/2024

I played the Championship Course at Royal County Down in Northern Ireland today, which will host The Irish Open in less than 3 weeks.

I am told that Royal County Down is ranked #3 of the Top Golf Courses in the world.

I clapped for myself when I had a great shot, made my caddy laugh while doing so, and ended my round with a score of 111. It was bucketlist dreamy! ⛳️

In Belfast, Northern Ireland, I walked the Gobbins cliff path. They call it Europe’s most dramatic coastal walk, and it did not disappoint.

I crossed 5 bridges, one named “the swinging bridge” as it is a suspension bridge that is built across a deep inlet that has been carved out of a cave in the cliff. I went through 3 caves, an aquarium, and a leap along the 3 mile path.

It is not for the faint of heart, but if you like adventure, cute hiking boots, and a stylish blue hard hat, it’s well worth it!

I love treating myself to a massage and spending time in the spa on a sea day. As with anything, I am not the only one who enjoys doing that, which means that with only 1 sea day on this cruise, the spa has no availability on our sea day.

So, after hiking the Gobbins cliff path today, I enjoyed a wonderful massage and time in The Sanctum Spa before our Azamazing evening of Icons of Ireland. 🇮🇪

My 1st round of Ireland golf was at Jameson Golf Links at Portmarnock Resort. 🍀

The weather was beautiful: a little wind, some sun, and zero rain. My best hole was a par on the 18th to end the round!

I am leaving my hotel in Dublin to embark on Azamara Quest. The day has finally come for my Ireland golf cruise, a trip I booked even before I picked up a golf club to learn the game.

Sláinte! 🍀

When in Dublin, why wouldn’t you do the green Hop On Hop Off bus and go to both Jameson and Guinness on your first day? 😂🍀

I loved my stay at The Clermont London, Victoria in a beautiful and charming Deluxe King room that overlooked The Victoria Station House.

The hotel originally opened in 1862 as The Grosvenor Hotel. Now The Clermont, it is a historic Grade II railway hotel, which means that as part of Historic England’s grading system it is recognized for its historical and architectural significance.

Ted Lasso is life. ❤️

I spent the afternoon in Richmond, home of A.F.C. Richmond and the Diamond Dogs.

I enjoyed a pint at The Crown & Anchor, walked Paved Court, and kicked a football in Richmond Park.

I love the game of soccer. My girls both played so I know some (not all 😜) of the rules.

My daughter’s old club coach in Scottsdale, Arizona, Colin hosted us for my very first Premier League football game: West Ham’s opening match against Aston Villa at London Stadium. ⚒️⚒️

I didn’t see The Wonder Kid in action or Rupert in the stands, but the fast-paced game play, supporter chants, and the no lines for the women’s loo made my football match experience completely epic.

Although, Colin told me that since they lost, he doesn’t know if he can invite me back. 😂🫣😘

Afternoon tea at The Milestone Hotel in the heart of Kensington was lovely. 💕

I am London-bound.

I have never been to London so find me doing all of the touristy things: double decker bus, Big Ben National Lampoon style, London Eye, red phone booth, Harrods, Buckingham Palace, Afternoon Tea, Camden Market, Stonehenge, a Premier League match, all of the good stuff.

I was originally booked for the Galapagos with Celebrity Cruises in April 2024, but a work trip trumped my plans. Work hard, play hard… and that time work won. 🤣

I just finalized my plans to go to The Galapagos in October 2024! I have had it on my travel bucketlist since 8th grade science and Charles Darwin.

Want to join me? We can go explore like scientists to experience ecology, evolution, and conservation.

We’ll be on Celebrity Flora, an all-suites luxury ship designed and built especially for the Galapagos with only 100 guests.

Travel dates: October 25 - November 3, 2024

The current pricing promotion is 20% off with Sky Suites staring at $10,459 per person, based on double occupancy.

I played the front 9 with fun friends this morning. Some great golf, much-needs laughs and potential inventions were discussed.

Then, I decided to continue on the back 9 by myself and my favorite treat: Haribo goldbears to prep for Ireland golf in 2 weeks!

Good morning from Paso Robles, California, stop #16 on my RV road trip. I am almost back home to Scottsdale, Arizona. 🌵

It has been a pretty epic 30-day RV road trip full of new sights, great experiences, and lots of gas station window washing for me.

Thanks for following my journey. See you back in AZ!

Sunday in Napa was enjoyed with a couple glasses of wine at Robert Mondavi Winery in downtown Napa Valley.

My favorite wine of the day: the Sparkling Rosé.

I could tell you that I was the only one on the tender into Galway today, but I wasn’t.

Willie Nelson

While in Seattle, I got to see 91 year old Willie Nelson perform. He is a complete LEGEND and put on an epic performance! I think we can all take a page out of Willie’s book.

Pioneers Mountains National Scenic ByWay

Pioneers Mountains National Scenic ByWay was as beautiful as advertised. It’s a 49 mile route in the Beaverhead–Deerlodge National Forest that travels the length of the Pioneer Mountain range. The road ascends a 7,800 foot divide between the Wise River which flows north and the south-flowing Grasshopper Creek. 📷: @travelbytashaleete #nationalforest #montana #montanaviews #mt #pioneersmountainsnationalscenicbyway #scenicdrive #scenicdrives #pioneermountainrange #wiseriver #grasshoppercreek #summer #summerviews #travel #traveling #traveler #travelbytashaleete

I played for the first time at Kapalua. The course was absolutely amazing! 🦋 Here’s my first tee shot playing the Plantation Course at Kapalua. It was a beautiful day, I was announced, my shot was documented, and, of course, it did not go as planned. “Oh no!” 🤣 But, Kapalua is an incredible place to find humor in my golf game and play a round! 😍 📷: @travelbytashaleete #maui #mauiforever #hashtagmaui #myfavoriteplace #myfavoriteplaceever #myfavorite #mauihawaii #hawaii #golf #kapalua #plantationcourse #kapaluagolf #golfer #golfergirl #golfcourse #golfday #tontoverdegolf #islandlife #islandgirl #mauimemories #mauiviews #aloha #beachlovinsoccermom #beachlife #beachgirl #myhappyplace #travel #traveler #traveling #travelbytashaleete
