Iceland
April 26th – May 1st, 2018
Our hotel was Konsulat in Reykjavik. The hotel was newly renovated, and it was lovely. We met our friends Avin & Lindsy who are from Indiana but live in Florida now. They stayed there three years ago for one month, so it was nice being there with them because they knew all the hot spots. The names of the towns and restaurants are very long and complicated, so I will do my best to give as many details in the photos as possible. One thing that you will find in Iceland is that there are no shortages of waterfalls. The weather seems to be dodgy you will have 50/50 chance of rain or shine. The one thing I didn’t like was how cold it was while we were there it was their summer. Our first stop which is a MUST is a visit to the Blue Lagoon. It was a great experience.

Oddities We’ve Seen
This is a car we saw driving in Florida October 2017 it had statues glued all over it.
Do you think this car that we saw in Florida has enough bumper stickers?
This car looks like a tree fell on it and if it rained water would soak the back seat
We saw this custom made truck in Ft. Pierce Florida with a couch on top and a hammock and if you look closely the owner of the vehicle is laying in the hammock.
We saw this interesting Bus in Florida with a great message. Onemillionactsofkindness.com please take a moment and check out their website.
The Big Duck is a building in the shape of a duck located in Flanders, NY, on Long Island. It was originally built in 1931 by duck farmer Martin Maurer in nearby Riverhead and used as a shop to sell ducks and duck eggs.
We saw this Bowling Pin Car in Zakynthos, Greece.
We saw this ice cream cone in Florence, Italy.
We saw this big rubber duck in Florida
Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2018 Ski Trip
January 23rd – 27th, 2018
Today we drove from Utah to Wyoming. We love skiing in Jackson Hole the only thing that we don’t like is how dodgy the weather is. In January the temperature can drop to the single digits other than that we enjoy the town and the mountain.
Other than the drive is beautiful!
If you scroll down below I have posted videos of Dog Sled Racing. It was the first time John and I both got a chance to see it.

New York – 2017
New York – 2017
This year our trip to NY started in Manhattan for five days and then we drove to Montauk (my favorite place ever) for a few days, and we love acting like tourists now that we don’t live in NY anymore. It’s fantastic that we are exploring more of NY now that we don’t live there.
If you would like to see where and what we are while in NY.
We took a horse and carriage ride through Central Park – A must if you are visiting Manhattan.
Tree inside the Cartier Store
Inside St. Patrick’s Cathedral

Deep Hollow Ranch – Oldest Cattle Ranch in the USA

We also always stop at John’s Drive-In and get soft ice cream, of course, I had to have chocolate one day and vanilla the next. I am an ice cream JUNKIE!!!!
Leaving Montauk and driving back to the city we always stop at another favorite spot it’s in Poxabogue. Make sure you order the BLT it is the best we have ever had!
Bermuda
November 11, 2017
Today we flew to Bermuda and settled into our hotel once again a Hilton Timeshare RCI property and it could’ve been a little nicer it’s just not up to par. They didn’t give you a shampoo or conditioner and the bar of soap they give you is really small and you only get one for the shower and for the sink.
The place was called St. George’s Inn. The cottage was nice the view was great, but the internet was an issue. While we are away we are still working so I desperately need a good internet connection. After settling in, we had to get ready to go to dinner. We took a taxi which cost us $50 each way to the Barracuda Grill. I ordered the goat cheese, and roasted beets appetizer and the suckling pig roast for my entree and John had foie gras and rockfish for dinner. The food was delicious!
November 12, 2017
Today we decided to walk into town to grab some breakfast. We found this place called GoJo’s Coffee House, and we ate a Tomato, Avocado & Bacon sandwich which was amazing. Afterward, we hired a tour guide for the whole day to take us around to see the island. We were lucky we got the most delightful tour guide. Her name was Gloria she took us around the entire Island. It was great because she knows everybody on the island, so we got 5-star treatment everywhere we went. We started out with a tour of crystal caves. They were utterly breathtaking. One of the great things about visiting in the offseason is that all our pictures and places we visited were mainly empty. The next stop on today’s tour was Gibbs Hill Lighthouse which has 185 steps which we climbed and were able to go outside and take panoramic pictures of Bermuda. Afterward, Gloria took us to Elbow Beach Hotel, and we had a delicious lunch at Mickey’s Beach Bistro. I ordered the Penne Bolognese which was out of this world and John ordered the Tuna wrap which was good as well.
After a 7 hour tour, we went back to our hotel and relaxed a bit before getting ready for dinner. We walked to Wahoo and had a great meal. I ordered the wiener schnitzel, and John ordered the fish three ways (grilled snapper, broiled wahoo & seared rockfish)
November 13, 2017
Today we got a taxi to take us to The Hamilton Princess Hotel to pick up the Twizy once we rented it we drove to the dockyard and ended up purchasing two handmade bowls from Jon Faulkner Pottery. Afterward, we needed to park the Twizy to charge the battery, so we decided to have lunch at Swizzle Inn which was ok. Later we drove back to the hotel and relaxed the rest of the evening in our cottage.
November 14, 2017
Today we got into the Twizy again (which by the way is uncomfortable), and we drove to St. David’s Island and walked around, took a bunch of pictures. We then drove to The Loren Hotel and had lunch while we charged it up. I ordered the Caprese panini (which was flavorless), and John had turkey club. After lunch, we drove to our cottage and relaxed until we had to get ready for dinner. Tonight we ate at Griffins which is in our hotel. I ordered the Bermuda Fish Chowder, and The Ribeye steak and John ordered the Seafood crepe and Tagliatelle sirloin. Dinner was delicious!
November 15, 2017
Today we took a ride to St. Catherine’s Fort and then drove the Twizy back to The Hamilton Princess Hotel and dropped it off. We then walked to the Harbourfront Restaurant for lunch. I ordered the Dim Sum Dumplings as an appetizer and Roasted half chicken for my entree and John ordered the escargot as an appetizer and had the special of the day which was a sea bass dish. The food was fantastic we loved everything we ordered.
After lunch we took a cab back to our hotel which is located in St. George’s and we decided to take a walk to visit St. Peter’s Church and The Unfinished Church we had a late lunch, so we decided to stay in and eat a few leftovers we had.
November 16, 2017
Today we rented a scooter and rode to St. David’s Lighthouse, and we went back to St. David’s Island to take better pictures because the other day it was cloudy. Afterward, we had lunch at Rosewood Tucker’s Point Restaurant called The Grille Room. I ordered the Grille Bolognese and John had the Spaghetti Carbonara. After lunch, we decided to visit Warwick Long Bay Beach, Stonehole Bay Beach and Horseshoe Bay Beach. We walked along all the beaches to see all the little alcoves. We went back to the hotel and relaxed a bit before getting ready for dinner at Tom Moore’s Tavern. I ordered the escargot, and stuffed quail and John had foie gras and salmon. The service and the food were great.
November 17, 2017
Today we returned the scooter and just walked around and found a cute little breakfast spot called Mama Angie’s Coffee Shop and we both had a delicious BLT. Afterward, we just walked around town and checked out some of the stores. We also got a chance to see the 18th-century re-enactment show that they put on twice a week check out the video below.
The only complaint I have with the St. George’s Inn was that after we checked out of our cottage and asked the front desk to keep our luggage in a room for a few hours. They left our bags outside on the side of the building where NOBODY would be able to see if someone walked off with it.
I know, I know too many pictures of myself – I loved my outfits so I decided to post them.
