Our Passports to Adventure!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. 

So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails. 

Explore. Dream. Discover.”

... Mark Twain

    Bandol, France

One step closer to making some travel plans!

The postman delivered our required travel documents ... our renewed passports have arrived!

Now the fun begins!

We can seriously start to look at our options of what, when, where, who, why and how we will orchestrate this year's adventure.

It's time for us to explore, dream and discover what is in store for our next travels.

Great News!

After months of appointments with various doctors, many tests and procedures I've been declared "fit as a fiddle".

Without going into all the minutiae of my ailments ... all you need to know is that this is Good news ... no it is Great news!

It's clear sailing ahead ...

I'm off with Monsieur Honey to start planning our next travels!

Signs of Spring

There are always certain things, events, activities that signal "Spring" has arrived.

No it is not "Swan Lake" ... The arrival and departure of the Tundra Swans during their migration.

The first lawn mower sounds in the neighbourhood ... not cutting the lawn but dethatching all the old dead grass... 

The men anxious and excited to play outside in their yards and gardens after months of "Winter hibernation"!

                  

Beautiful, colourful spring flowers ... not yet blooming in the gardens but readily available at the local shops where I treated myself to a gorgeous bouquet.

                

Happy Spring everyone!
