Everyday Warrior
The truck pulls up, I jump in and my husband explains quickly……………“WE NEED TO LEAVE, NOW!”
We were on the beach in Puerto Cortés, Honduras (just over a week ago). The girls and I had just bought minutas – a snow cone. My husband had gone to our vehicle to “check things out.”
Someone was close to our truck and we both thought perhaps something was wrong. [Read more…]
She is an undeniably loyal travel companion and a must have while on the go – even if it’s only to the grocery store.
She goes everywhere with me – travel is one of her best qualities. My BFF makes me smile all the time, she is super sweet, snuggles with me on the couch and no back talk – I would be lost without her. [Read more…]
LL ABOARD – It was time to leave La Ceiba Honduras and cruise over to Roatán. We were all so excited to experience island life. This was our first real family vacation. There has been a lot of travel in our family, but not usually all together. Definitely not for a vacation. Now was our chance.
Road Trip!!! It was time for a mountain adventure driving through one of the largest departments, Olancho (which is like a state). We put on almost 214 miles to reach the final destination.
This past September (2014) we had a family road trip to La Ceiba. From home it took us at least 6 hours, one [Read more…]
U-is-for-Umbrella: What can your sombrilla do for you? Really your umbrella can be a loyal travel companion. No, it can’t give directions like your smart phone, but it does more than you think and doesn’t talk back. Many leave home without their umbrella, but this companion should be treated like a good friend – kept close! You may ask, “What else can my umbrella do [Read more…]
R-is-for-Roatán: The island experience. I have heard it said this isla is an unknown hot spot sitting in the Caribbean. Soon, as a family we will leave home from the mainland and vacation in this tropical paradise.
This past March Kevin & [Read more…]
F-is-for-Fibromyalgia – what? Yes, a long word that I usually shorten to Fibro. As my doctor stated, “The good thing is it won’t kill you. The down side is it hurts like heck.”
So what is this Fibro? The dictionary defines it as: A chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas. Sounds like a mouthful [Read more…]
A-is-for-Apps: Your offline?? What apps can you use when you don’t have an internet connection on your super smart phone? I have 7 of my favorite offline apps here at my finger tips – check it out!
Many times here in Honduras you may not get an internet connection. First, it could be [Read more…]
Hello All! I am glad to be back in the States! It may only be for a couple of weeks but it is always nice to be back to my native, home sweet home.
I can’t say that I enjoy the snow and below zero temperatures, but expected for January here in Green Bay, WI. It’s actually been very nice weather in Honduras. Hasn’t been too hot. I am sure in the next month when I head back it will be sweat rolling weather!!
Well, I have to say that my trip from Honduras to Wisconsin can’t exactly be described as a great experience. Better to say not even a good experience. [Read more…]
Wow!!! What a day we had at the Chicago Botanic Gardens! While my youngest and I were visiting with family we had the opportunity to spend time not only with great company, but also in a surprising place!
The day couldn’t have be better plan if we wanted to. Starting from home we all thought that maybe it would be just too hot to spend time at the Botanic Gardens.
It was 90 degrees and we knew that we would be out and about walking so we almost decided to not go. [Read more…]
