I’m so happy to have such accepting fellow students in my class. I sit here with a girl just graduated from college, a young married, whose husband is a captain on a sail boat and wanted her to be certified for safety, a young chef from a cruise ship…here I am 53 years old doingContinue reading “School”

So yesterday was a day of no driving. We ubered down to Central Beach which is a familiar spot for us, as this is where we come the night before we get on a cruise ship. Spent all day relaxing in the sun and warm water. Then today, being Rylee’s last day we both wantedContinue reading “Day 9 Florida Keys”

Started the morning off taking a walk to the local paddle board rental shop. Rylee and I knew we wanted to have some Beach time once we reach Ft. Lauderdale, so we rented the boards for 2 hours. We paddle through the salt water channels, admiring the gorgeous homes with docks and boats along theContinue reading “Day 7 Arrived at Crew House”

My favorite kind of day. Stumble across things spontaneously. I knew I wanted to swim with the Manatees and google gave me options. So I picked one. Crystal Springs.. Turns out, its it’s own little community. Everyone knows everyone and trust is big. We find a cute little lodge, stop in just to see ifContinue reading “Day 6 Crystal Springs”

I arrive to my beautiful hotel about 8:15pm. Valet parking only. He doesn’t know how to drive a stick. As I’m leaving the parking garage towards the lobby, I can hear him trying to figure it out. Oh poor jeep. The lobby attendant explains that due to COVID, nothing in the French quarter is reallyContinue reading “Day 5 New Orleans”

This is why this state is so hard to drive through. Stopped in Vernon to fuel up. When I started the jeep the check engine light came on. Pulled out my code reader. Cylinder 3 misfired. Looked it up on the internet, likely is spark plugs. Jeep running like a champ, so I don’t thinkContinue reading “…aaaaand I’m in Texas”

I left the Grand Canyon around 9:30am I think. The wind was blowing as hard as yesterday, so I left the jeep closed up. Leaving Arizona was almost as boring as my Texas trip last November. Once I got into New Mexico the colors on the left side of highway 40 were amazing…Soul touching. ThisContinue reading “Road Trip Day 2”

The morning was supposed to begin departing San Diego at 7am to arrive at my hotel by 2pm as they don’t allow early check in. I woke up at 2:30 utterly excited and could not go back to sleep. Got up at 3:00 and was on the road by 4:30. This leg of the tripContinue reading “First Stop Grand Canyon”

Well…If you want to hear God laugh, make a plan…On March 16th I went to work and was informed that all dental offices need to close down indefinitely due to the corona virus. I spent the last 9 days of work training the new office manager and rescheduling patients. On March 25th I clocked outContinue reading “Quarantine 2020”

I will sell my stuff, pack the jeep with the clothes I will need and head out on my road trip. I’ve been mapping it out. My brother’s girlfriend lives in San Diego. My kids and parents will all drive down there the last weekend of March. We will celebrate my dads birthday and onContinue reading “The Plan is in motion”
