Day 8

 I said goodbye to the cruise ship and my friends. I was lucky to get a great rental car (BMW) through Sixt and made my way to WDW. What a long day!

Disembark - Rent car and drive 3 hours to Disney - Stop at the Outlets to get a few souvenirs - Check into hotel - Room not ready so I head to Hollywood Studios. Thanks to my daughter back at home, I had lots of rides lined up and stacked. I toured nonstop from about 2:00-9:00. I was exhausted - Gathered just enough energy to eat sushi at my hotel and watch talented people sing karaoke. 



Entering the first park of the trip is always a thrill!
This guy wanted me to help him find a missing barrel of monkeys. 
Some Disney food is bad. But some is really good. And this is a grilled cheese and brisket sandwich. It’s excellent! I am eating it in a very posh spot on top of a garbage can.

Olga’s is super fun in Star Wars

Much anticipated trip

 I’m on the move again. My house is kind of complete and I feel all moved in. After my parents did so much work, I had a visit from Pam and Bill who hung paintings and did so much!  I really feel like Florida is my home.  I am in another country now. I will post pictures when I can. For I will give a few hints Men wear Capri pants. (Manpris!!) Coffees are tiny and you stand at a counter to drink them.  Breakfast was a cappuccino, freshly squeezed orange juice and a chocolate croissant as big as a shoe. All for €6

Day 3

 I’m up early!! Ready to board that cruise ship!! I really can’t leave for another four hours so I have plenty of time to write. Actually, I have plenty time to exercise. Pray, read, craft, write and watch TV. Hopefully it will be productive. Of course I could just lay in bed all morning but that gets me nowhere toward my goals. This morning I am thinking about forgiveness. It’s tough. Forgiveness is something that I have total control over. It’s so easy to forgive someone when they are truly sorry. Like when my kids did something wrong when they were little, they were sorry. Easy forgiveness. When my kids did something wrong when they were older, it was a little different. They knew they were breaking a rule before they broke it. Were they sorry? Yes, but they were most likely sorry for getting caught. They knew they did something wrong and my love them could help them not make the same decision again. Easy forgiveness. My circumstances today are different. I’m trying to figure out ho

Day 1

This is the beginning.  Day 1. January 1. The first day of the rest of my life.  My goals aren't that tough.  I can and will do this! Goal 1 - Post each day on this site.  Upload a photo or a comment or both.  Who knows what it will evolve into. I have written a blog before.  I loved it.  I chronicled my family's move to Belgium and our life as expats. If you search really really hard you just might find it out there in the web. Goal 2 - Close my rings every day on my Apple watch.  I will post my progress on this blog.  I probably won't show my daily progress, but I will show a weekly or monthly tally. I have never done anything like this before.  We will see how it goes. I really have no excuse to not accomplish this.  I have no one but myself to hold me back. Goal 3 - Travel as much as possible.  At first glance this goal is kind of silly. I am going to travel anyway.  I love it.  Just making it one of my goals gives me an excuse to travel even more. Plus travel will prov
