I planned the whole itinerary myself, and this entailed making numerous hotel reservations, rental car reservations, [...]

My stepdaughter turned 24 yesterday (Happy Birthday Amy!) and it got me to thinking about birthdays. When do you stop aging in your head? I know when I did … I was 25. How do I know this? Because it’s just the age I feel in my head as opposed to my “chronical” age [...]

Happy Halloween everyone! We are in St. John this year, so no Halloween party. But, that doesn’t mean we still can’t dress up. We’ll see if Halloween in the islands is any fun.

So a few weekends ago my husband and I met up with some friends at a local watering hole after celebrating my birthday at a sushi place. We had a few cocktails and decided to call it a night as we were leaving early the next morning to spend a few days downtown. [...]
