Before I get to the post, I want to remind everyone that when I write the post, Sue's comments are shown in italics and vice versa when she writes. This is important today as I suspect that she may have just a few minor really unimportant comments on the post. 😉 Memorial Day weekend is …

I am a money grubbing capitalist pig, but actually not very good it. I am 20 lbs overweight, but go the gym reasonably often. I have absolutely no concept of how hard the things I want to do are…until I have agreed to do them. I've got a couple of adult kids who live far away and a career that has me sitting at a desk all day.
Things is like: baseball, a really good gin & tonic, my convertible, and warm weather.
Things I am not so keen on: heights, overpriced food and having nothing to do.
Have spreadsheet, will travel
Ah...the joy of Excel In the world before the pandemic, Sue had booked a trip to Italy with her niece as a high school graduation gift. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 virus caused her to cancel the trip and her niece is not available for a trip this summer. We have about $3,000 of flight credits that …
I know it has been a while
We are sorry that we haven't written anything in quite a while. We have been wrapped up in lots of changes on the home front, while trying to just get through the pandemic. Let me give you a quick recap of the last few months. As I mentioned in our last post, we found a …
It’s an Adventure
I know, we haven't written anything in forever so this is going to be a bit of a long post. It has been a tough few months. A quick summary of our travel plans (or lack thereof). We had lots of travel scheduled for this summer. Sue and her niece were planning on going to …
So Much for Our Plans…
Wouldn't you know it? Just when we thought we were all set with our travel plans, the world goes and gets a virus. Too flippant? Sorry. It has been a rough couple of weeks. We last wrote about our trip to New York and Boston that ended on March 8. We were home just about …
Can I Spit on Fenway Park?
I took Friday off (so I only worked in the morning) and we set off for a wander around Beantown. My brother was kind enough to lend us his car, which at the time he did not realize he was doing. Short version of the story: I asked for the keys—he thought I wanted the …
New York—My Kind of Town
It is Monday late afternoon—and if you are from the company I work for—it is after 5 p.m. I am sure. We arrived in New York on Saturday morning after another early morning flight. Every time we book a flight at 7 a.m., I think it will be fine. Just get up early one day …
The Weekend Begins
Sue and I made the decision yesterday evening that we would like to spend the weekend on our own. Karl and Guiselle are fabulous hosts, and they cheerfully put up with us for an entire week. But we decided that since we were in Costa Rica, it would be nice to spend a couple of …
Not So Bad for a Work Day
Today was a relatively quiet day as we spent most of the day working. It is pretty amazing to think about the fact that I can do my job from anywhere. All I need is internet and mobile phone connectivity. I was on a call this morning that seamlessly connected Costa Rica, New York and …
Pacific Ocean 1–Steven 0
We (Karl, Guiselle, Sue, and I) decided to go the beach Sunday morning(ish). We packed all the necessities into a cooler. Beer, ice, beer, water, beer, snacks, towels, sunscreen, etc. and headed off to a beach called Playa Prieta (the dark beach). We all piled into Karl's car and drove through town and up a …
