15 Reasons to Visit the Bronx & Visions of Disney World & Sicily

​Good morning, good afternoon, good evening-when ever you are seeing this! My week has begun, which started off with Kelsey‘s first final and Gianna freaking out over her math regents tomorrow.

I was super angry at the girls last night because I feel a bit of disrespect from them just a quick vent I runaround day and evening, for them, their needs, their wants, And I never give them a hard time about what they do in their leisure time. If they want to watch your favorite shows, or play on their phones-I just let them be.

Then last night, I asked them to help me out with the dog, as I am folding their laundry, mind you, and I get a whole song and dance from both of them.
Picture
Now for the most part my girls are very good at helping out. But by the same account, they never have to ask more than once for me to do something for them. In fact I’m usually up and running before they finish their sentence.

Last night I was a bit tired, slightly cranky and was not in the mood for complaining. So I told them, fine can you take the bus tomorrow morning because I’m not going to and drive you to school. I really meant it at the time, but of course this morning guess who was up driving them to school?


After a good nights sleep, I was a little more relaxed. I also didn’t want Kelsey to stress before her first final. I really cannot wait until the summer begins officially with the end of school, allowing us all to be more relaxed and calm. Vent over.

In travel news…
Tanya and I were chatting a bit yesterday via text and she asked me if I had any of my Sicily plans started. Of course not! I will not have a chance to breathe until after next Sunday, after Gianna's graduation.

I have been, however, reading about Sicily and mentally trying to get a picture of my travel route.

Tanya and I are really trying to coordinate our respective trips so we can do some stuff together. 

This truly needs to happen, as Sicily is where our family is from.  But, as I said I really can’t jump into the planning until next week.
Picture
What I can tell you, is that, regarding my little trios trip to Disney World in February 2019, Kelsey has done a tremendous amount of research on the best times to go on certain rides, new restaurants that are opening, new attractions and so much more! 

She has assembled the most incredible travel itinerary! It completely warms my heart to see how my daughter is so incredibly passionate about this trip. I will be including her full itinerary on the landing page for this trip in the coming week.
Picture
I fear that the enthusiasm will not be as great for what I envision for Sicily, but hopefully we can all be flexible and compromise so that each of us gets to do most of what we​ want.

Our trip to Sicily will be part sightseeing, part relaxation and ALL eating!! More to come!

15 Reasons to Visit The Bronx

Far too many people do not realize how much things there are to see and experience in this borough!!

I firmly believe that NO trip to New York City is complete without a visit to the Bronx.  With a population greater than the city of Boston, a history rich in culture, ethnic diversity, and home to millions of working class residents, the Bronx is a destination for experiencing the authenticity of native New Yorkers, historic landmarks and neighborhoods, and some of the best food The Big Apple has to offer! Read more...

NEXT TRIP DEPARTS IN: 31 DAYS:
​WASHINGTON DC / VIRGINIA

Horses, Cycling and World Travel


​Hey Folks!   It's Monday again.   And I am coming off of an eventful and semi busy weekend. Not busy, like crazy busy but enough to keep us running around all day long - which is usually too busy for most.


After posting bunches of pictures yesterday from the event at JPL on Saturday, I left off with you as we were heading out to the feed and tack store and the stables.

Everything was going according to plan until we arrived at the feed and tack. Which happens to be closed on Sundays. 

At which point my fingers did the walking and I did the talking as I combed the local online directory to find a local feed and tack that was not only open, but that had what I was looking for in stock...Vitamin E for horses.
Meanwhile I was really wondering what's the difference between Vitamin E for horses vs Vitamin E for humans.     This really hadn't been answered for me until we arrived in Norco -  
Picture
We found a feed and tack shop that was open in good ol' Horsetown USA!

And the biggest difference in Vitamin E for horses vs humans is the SIZE. Vitamin E for horses comes in huge tubs!!  And there I was thinking I could run into our local health food market and just grab a bottle of Vitamin E. LOL guess not.

Then we were finally off to the stables, which was only a 12 or so minute drive from Norco. And it was HOT.    If you recall, I was trying to beat the sun. That didn't happen.

Again I ask...what ever am I going to do this summer?!  I might have to just resort to thinking cold thoughts!
Picture
We hung out with Dream for a while before we were off to our next stop - Mead's Green Door, which I totally and completely forgot to take any pictures of what we ordered! 

We sat there and discussed a trip that has yet to be slated. But at this point we are thinking September 2020 will be a good time. This trip will be slightly different from most the rest. Dave, myself and if the kids decide to come will be heading out to a European destination yet to be settled on.

Dave will then venture off (solo) to Morocco!
He is going to cycle the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco - of which I have absolutely zero interest in....

Basically what it comes down to is - if it's not pretty I probably don't want to do it.

So while he is off cycling, the rest of us will be enjoying _____.      I just need to fill in the blank.
10 days later we'll then reconnect with Dave and continue the vacation together!


After our meal if was time for my manicure of which was so relaxing that I started to actually doze off!!!
Picture
And that was really it for our plans. But then we came up with the idea of going to the bookstore and to get some "good" coffee. 

Our go to place for "good" coffee is Keen Coffee in Tustin. Where we sat around, sipped away and discussed travel!

To be more exact, we discussed future ideas of going to Bali, Greece, Patagonia and our upcoming August trip to Aruba, Curaçao, and Turks & Caicos.

Oh yea and since we were speaking cycling Dave is gonna do another ride without me this year. He is signing up for the Rosarito to Ensenada Mexico ride which takes place at the end of September. 

I'm not to thrilled by the idea of doing this ride, so we'll head to beautiful San Diego together and then I will stay in San Diego enjoying all there is to do, while he crosses the international border!

So much on the horizon I can hardly contain myself. 

But it's that time again and I have to go.
Catch ya back here tomorrow.
