How did we travel for 38 days and not get COVID, Norovirus, RSV, or any of the other things floating around currently? We are perhaps overly cautious, but that works for us and our high anxiety personalities. We scheduled our last COVID booster vaccine so that our peak protection would be while we were traveling. …
Ancona is a beautiful city on the east coast of Italy. It’s all hills with stairs and steep alleys connecting parallel streets. The airport is tiny and reminded me of flying into Key West, except flying over the Alps in a small plane was much smoother than flying from Atlanta to Key West in a …
We needed some down time after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2. So we got a hotel minutes from the port to spend a few nights in. We started in Room2 in Southampton and it was an adorable hotel with a hipster vibe. We had an amazing suite in my favorite color. The pups …

So we had to decide whether to wait, or make alternate plans. Seeing more of Europe is what we decided. We researched spending a …
Well we’re still planning and things change almost daily. We do think we have a plan – but we have a few more Zoom meetings to make sure it will work before the decision is final. Why are our plans changing? Croatia is joining Schengen on January 1, 2023. So our plans of bouncing between …
