Whoa – that went by fast. I created this blog exactly one year ago today. If you told me then that I’d be writing the first post of 2016 from Key Largo outside on our deck I wouldn’t have believed you for one second. Last year it was freezing on New Year’s and we, Read More
… mostly hate at this point. Flip-flops are probably my favorite footwear but I’ll be damned if OluKai’s aren’t the biggest P.O.S. on the market for their $70 price tag. I’ve gone through 3 pairs in as many years and have had two blowouts outside the country. They’re extremely comfortable which is my only, Read More
For the record, I’m not a fan of returning to standard time. It’s a sign that winter is coming and the short, dark, cold days that accompany it. I love having daylight after work to enjoy some much needed time outside after being cooped up in the office all day. I love running in, Read More
I recently discovered a podcast that’s a great source of first hand information for anyone considering the expat life. I’m a gatherer of facts & I love hearing about other people’s experiences.

If you asked me a few weeks ago if I’d ever go parasailing I would have said “hell no!” I hate heights almost as much as I hate cold weather so it wasn’t something I thought I’d ever do. But when one of your best friends turns 40 and that’s their wish, well you, Read More
Thanks to the Scuba Girls of Key Largo for posting this a few days ago. Very timely! Not only do I love this movie (it’s so quotable) but we are indeed for scuba and we’re heading to Key Largo in just 9 days! We decided to pay Key Largo a visit on our way, Read More
On our nightly dog walk last night we were treated to a spectacular natural display, bioluminescence! The water was rough and when we first got to the beach the white caps appeared to be glowing. Our beach entrance has a lot of light pollution so we had to walk to a darker area to, Read More
Oh hey there! Long time no talk … I’ve been outside soaking up every single second of my favorite season! This is precisely why we need to go where it’s warm for good! There’s no reason every day of the year can’t be this way. Summer is flying by! It’s hard to believe it’s, Read More
