New Mexico to very familiar territory..Laughlin Nevada

In all of my travels, I haven’t really missed home while I’m away. But the first time I flew home from the yacht and saw familiar streets and buildings, I cried

Today, my last stop before my moms is Laughlin. It’s about 6-7 hours away from home and I’ve been here many times for different reasons. Sometimes to enjoy the casinos on the river, and sometimes to boat on the river and lake Havasu.

Arkansas to Clinton Oklahoma, to Gallup NM

My journey from the West Coast to East Coast had been planned and mapped for months. I knew where I was stopping and what I’d be doing once I got there.

This trip, I drive til I’m tired, pick a hotel and stop. Several hotels have been in places where walking distance attractions are unavailable, so I just relax in the room

Journey home..not just a drive

White sand Destin Fl

I finished laundry and cleaning my room around 10:30 am and left Anna Maria Island. Because I’m taking it easy on Jeeper, I didn’t arrive in Destin until around 7pm

Crashed at my vacationing friends place. I’ve been doing so much alone , that it was pleasantly odd to have someone to talk to while exploring.

Before finding my floatie I called McQueen!

We stayed at a hotel near Crab island. Highly recommend. Near all amenities and beach and crab island.

Funny..I plan on being back in California Tuesday and so do they.

I quietly left this morning Saturday to head to Nashville for my first time!

What a way to spend my last night in the place I’ve called home since last June. I love you Florida…I’ll be back

My peeps

I meet so many wonderful people when I bartend. We have time to chat and Ofcourse the conversation begins with where are you from? Then my story begins….every, and I mean every single person is so enthralled in my story and want to see it through. A couple I met a few days ago, asked for my information, because they have vowed to be my first customers at my Caribbean bar. they said “we will do whatever we can to make that happen” So sweet!

I super duper miss my Rylee and scott being here. I got off work yesterday and felt like I should be driving to their hotel so we could plan our day. But poor rylee is back in Montana…with the icicles.

My wingman Justin stopped by yesterday for a drink. Wingman Glenn is headed back home for the summer. It’s so funny how the popular time of year here is the winter.

I don’t have time to eat at work, so I always have the cook make me grilled chicken tacos for dinner. Today he said “get some dressing” I said why? For my tacos? I guess he thinks I need to eat a bit healthier

Lovin My Family time

Rylee and Scott got here Wednesday. Thursday, we rented efoil boards. Totally cool it’s amazing propelling and hovering 2+ feet over the water

On Friday, I worked til noon and we met up with some friends for drinks had a yummy roof top dinner.

Saturday we rented a deck boat and cruised to the sandbar.

Then had dinner at the Ugly Grouper

The Bahama tiki beach bar I interviewed at last month, reached out yesterday. I told them I’ve found a place to learn the industry and live, but appreciated the contact.
