I know we've said this before, but we are lucky! Yes, our Fes plans got scuttled, but we made it out of the U.S. after a month-long stay in sunny Florida. Yesterday, we arrived in Guadalajara. We flew from Fort Lauderdale to Houston, where the plane was on time until 10 minutes to boarding and …

We Have a Plan (or So We Think)
First things first or a moment of gratefulness: Thank you, Sandy, for generously allowing us to stay in your home in Florida when we were at loose ends. We had a few days of discombobulation, but sunshine and a comfortable working environment made a huge difference. Florida wildlife and the view from Sandy's patio. After …
Always Remember to Stay Flexible
Me, thinking about our plans for the next few months. I would like to report that we are spending our time in Florida visiting all the cultural and historic sites, but well, it is Florida, so not so much. Instead, we are working, visiting with my mother and obsessing over our next move. Today we …
The S & S Lemonade Company
We are working hard to make lemonade from the lemons we have been given. Last week, we had the next six months all planned. One week in Barcelona, three months in Fez, a month and a half in Rome and then a couple of weeks in Amsterdam. Then COVID reared its ugly head again and …
Back in the US, Back in the US, Back in the US…not USSR
I know that I missed our last blog post on Sunday and as penance, Sue is making me write this one. The past week has been pretty quiet. Last Friday morning, we flew from Nice to Paris, and despite our intention of going into the city for the afternoon, we ended up just sitting around …

Last weekend in Istanbul
Sue and I had a busy week with work and all, so we decided to spend this weekend doing nothing. We woke up late, sat around drinking coffee and watched TV for three full days. Not. Friday our plan was to have street food for lunch, then head for the Dolmabahçe Palace, then walk over …
A very Burgundy weekend
This was our first weekend in Clamecy. Like so many of our weekends we crammed it full of things to do and see. We started the weekend with a quiet Friday night. A light dinner and then we attempted to improve our French by watching Independence Day in French. News flash…It is a terrible movie …
Packing (Extra) Light
As our faithful readers know (thank you, Judie), we are heading out on a grand adventure. So many details to consider and what feels like so little time. I let Steven do most of the thought-spinning since he is so good at it, especially in the middle of the night (I practice two hours a …
Just some updates
We are continuing to make plans and knock items off the to do list. This week has been, for lack of a better term, workmanlike....oh god...sorry Sue...workPERSONlike. 😉 (Finally, my positive influence sinks in.) We are grappling with a list of necessary, but fairly uninteresting, things we will need to arrange while we are away. …
Nice is Nice
We have made our first significant change to our plan (remember when I said our plans were firmly set in Jello?). We, like the French in World War 2 have abandoned Paris. We were persuaded by two factors: First, the weather will be pretty nasty in October and November -- cold, damp, wet. If we …
