Las Vegas 2019 and 2020

October 9-12 2019 and March 2-5 2020 I wasn’t going to include my last two trips to Las Vegas in my blog because it is Vegas- no big deal. However, with a pandemic closing borders and making domestic travel difficult, it doesn’t appear that I am going anywhere soon so I decided to live vicariously…

Napa 2019

The castle had a throne room, torture room, moat, small drawbridge and storage for barrels. The tour is really worthwhile. The tasting, on the other hand, was pour least favorite. The only thing we liked in the tasting was one of the dessert wines.

Playa and Tulum 2019- Bull Shark Dive

Hugo let the current take us closer to shore and we stopped at a depth of fifty five feet. There was a fair amount of current so I dug the ends of my fins into the sand to anchor me. I was scanning the ocean bottom when Hugo pointed behind me. There was a bull shark swimming towards my back- I felt the rollercoaster plummet down the first drop.

Huatulco 2019

Huatulco is a beautiful coastal city with extremely friendly people and good inexpensive food. The beaches are beautiful but not always swimmable. There are a lot of beaches to explore. If you get tired of Huatulco there are a lot of little towns up down the coast to explore.

Bonaire 2019

I found a restaurant in town that had kegs of Belgium beer. I stopped in daily for my glass of real Belgium beer. It was very good.

Isla Mujeres 2019

My other favorite dive we did was the C58 wreck. We entered the wreck through an opening at the stern. A lot of the hull had been removed so it was light as we swam through the interior of the ship. We exited at the bow and there was a wall of fish hanging out on the wreck.

Sailing in the USVI and BVI 2019

Every time we dropped anchor I would put my fins and mask on and check that the anchor set properly and nothing was tangled in the chain.
