Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (February 2020)

Shea and I have done three or four day trips to Isla Mujeres when we’ve stayed at all-inclusives in the Cancun area over the years. And every time, we come home and say “That was the best part of our trip – we should stay there for our whole trip sometime!” Isla Mujeres is a […]

Friday Fun Link – Isla Contoy

We’ll be visiting Isla Mujeres from March 2 to 9 and this will be the first time we haven’t stayed at an all-inclusive in all our various trips to Mexico/Cuba/Dominican Republic over the past 25 years. One thing we might do is take a boat trip to an ecologically protected, undeveloped island…

Music Monday – “Mhm, you’re gonna look so cute/Sunglasses and bathing suits/Be the baby of my dreams/Like the ladies in the magazines”

Happy Birthday Shea!  Looking forward to spending a night at the Moose Jaw Spa with you to celebrate! “Twisting By The Pool” – Dire Straits

Saturday Snap – Japanese Head Massage/Vietnamese Noodle Bowls

Shea and I decided to try the Japanese Head Massage at Salon 13 in the Northgate Mall as our Valentine’s gift to each other followed by lunch at the restaurant quality food court gem, “Hung Kitchen“. Very relaxing!  Very delicious!

“Truck Stop Christmas” – Grace Askew

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Cuba Libre! (Jan 2016)

Friday Fun Link – Vegas 1992

My first trip to Vegas was around 1992-1993, my second was around 2010 and my most recent was earlier this year.  So pretty wild to look at a video from around the time of my first visit and compare it to how much has changed in the last thirty or so years!

I’m Hoping To Sneak Up On Shea This Year…

Music Monday – “The winds have blown over the ocean/The winds have blown over the sea/The winds have blown over the ocean/And brought back my Bonnie to me”

“My Bonnie” – John McDermott (Fun Fact – we don’t get many celebrity sightings in Regina but I saw John McDermott in the lobby of the Hotel Sask in Regina one year around Christmas when he was in town for a concert!)
