Well, the idea to start this blog came to me when my two best friends and I were planning a trip we were set to take in June 2020. You see, we started saving for a huge 50th birthday celebration five years ago and everything was planned (and I mean EVERYTHING down to the airport transfers). Our plan was to take a Mediterranean cruise that would bring us to Spain, France, and Italy. We booked a beautiful suite (two floors), and we were ready to be treated well. And then…COVID-19.
You see, I thought that it would be a great idea to write a blog while we were traveling so that I could upload our pictures and keep our families and friends updated as to our daily escapades. I was really excited to take this on as I knew that we would be happy to have a “recording” of our trip for years to come.
Once the trip was cancelled, I thought about whether I should start the blog. After consideration, I realized that the cancellation of the trip did not not mean the blog needed to cancelled or postponed too. So, I decided to start the blog anyway as I wanted to have a place to share all of my adventures and musings and could not come up with a valid reason to hold off on starting it.
So, I start this blog today so that I can share my journeys and musings with those who wish to read about them, but also to remind me of the things I have accomplished.
I hope you enjoy the journey (and musings)!
