Well….Jorge and I arrived at the Alicante airport for a 6 pm 75-minute flight to Porto that goes through Madrid.. Easy […]
Wine a little you’ll feel better…
Ever just pull out the wine in the middle of the day? Not when you’re at work though. Unless it’s celebrating some event with the teachers in the school, where I worked in Spain. Wine during a school day… Some cultures have all the fun. Yup, it’s a whining day and so I will wine […]
Champagne Anyone?
I did it. I was staring at an expensive bottle of champagne the other day. No way was I gonna spend a $100 on a bottle. Ide rather get it in France where it will probably be cheaper and the view 1000 times better. As soon as I got home, I jumped on the computer […]
I Need Some WD-40
My travel trigger finger seems to be getting stiff. I already have arthritis but for some reason when pursuing travel sites nothing has excited my finger enough to hit “book.” This is very unusual for me and downright abnormal. Maybe some WD 40 will lube it right up and cure the stiffness, Every place […]
Oui Oui to Me
Warning this post is longer than usual…. So my trigger finger was activated and I went to Brussels and Amsterdam. A cheap flight popped up on my phone and I grabbed it. $600 round trip is cheap for an overseas trip. Plus when I was living in Spain it was the tail end of Covid […]
Can’t I just live in a hotel?
I just bought a pillow and a wine opener. I’m living in an air B and B It’s all I can do in my reintegration to life in the US. Since returning to the USA, I’ve found myself in car hell, apartment hell and sadly fighting the urge to leave every day. It took weeks […]

How to walk backward in an all-nude thermal spa.
As part of my last few trips when leaving Spain I decided to visit Baden- Baden Germany; a famous thermal spa town near the French border and part of the black forest. I wanted to try the famous “fully naked” Roman baths there called “Friedrichsbad.” I wanted to see if it would relax me and […]
Time to go, for good this time.
All good things must come to an end. Or so they say. But is that really true? I just returned from my younger brother’s wedding in the US. It was small, relaxed, western-themed, and lovely. And there was a buffet of Texas BBQ, it couldn’t be any better. The goodness of meeting his lovely wife […]
A sock is worth a million words
Since I’ve been here I sometimes have really great moments. And other times I don’t know why I’m here. Today, I got my sock back. I know sometimes I’m as dumb as a rock but I discovered something in my own building this week. What floor do I really live on, and how to get […]
