Up at an uncivilized hour as we docked at Road Town on the Island of Tortola (Spanish for “Turtle”) After a quick breakfast (sorry, no food photos this morning) we donned ‘wet hiking’ gear… to meet our group for our excursion to Virgin Gorda (The Fat Virgin) – Columbus saw the highest hill and declared […]
When last we heard from our intrepid explorers they had poured themselves into bed in the wee small hours of the morning. Before we retired we hung a room service breakfast order on our door with a requested delivery time of 9:00. Room service was important for this meal because we were quarantined in our
The alarm went off some time before 4:00 so we could catch the 4:20 shuttle to the airport. This is not to say that we were awakened at that time. Some of us had been awake since 2:00. Others of us had slept peacefully and were “rip roarin’” and ready to get this adventure started!
This was anything but a typical ‘Day 0’ – no vacuuming, no cleaning bathrooms, didn’t even have to shovel the walks. That’s because we weren’t home. This trip actually started a week ago on Christmas day. Here’s the schedule: 12/25 – Quiet Christmas with dinner at Brad and Lily’s (both Carl and Jessica were in
The day started out with breakfast, and a surprise. The Hunt boys learned this morning that they were going to Legoland. But that wasn’t the big surprise. That occurred when they discovered that Jesse and Spencer were also in the group. After breakfast we checked out from the hotel and headed to the San Diego

Up early and Roy, Virginia, Cheryl and I were out the door for our excursion to the Mayan ruins at Tulum before the Deeg’s were even awake. Tulum was the site of a major pre-Columbian city on the east coast. It sits on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic. Arriving at the site we unloaded, got
Nothing much happening in the morning so we slept a bit late and headed down to the gym.’ The next stop was breakfast, then back to the room for a nap before loading onto the bus. Our destination was another of the “Palace” properties – this on on the beach in the middle of “the
The day started later than we had intended. One of us (who shall remain nameless but whose initials are Randy) neglected to set the alarm. So our choices were: A) get up when we woke up and hit the gym, arriving at breakfast a half-hour late, or B) sleep in another half hour and go
Or, for the purists, Chichen Itza. We were up before dawn, quick breakfast and out to meet the van (and our 21 fellow travelers) by 8:00. The ride to Chichen Itza took two hours, during which we slept, read, and heard an orientation from out tour guide Sabino. Chichen Itza is either Chi (mouth), Chen
