Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Miss America (March 2009)

Happy (?) Fourth of July. I think I’ve mentioned that Shea’s and my “mini protest’ after Trump was elected was deciding not to go to the USA – mostly because of him but also because I just found the USA to be increasingly at odds with my personal values in general – from the gun […]

Retro Saturday Snap – Feet to the Fire

Now that camping season has started, I’m into that part of my blog calendar where I’m less likely to keep my “daily post” streak alive but may also come back at the end of the weekend and do some “retro” posts backdated to the days I missed. For example, it’s Monday night as I type […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Honu in Kauai (January 2012)

We were invited to a 50th Anniversary of my Hawaiian aunt and uncle (I know, right?) but unfortunately, Hawaiians don’t think of things like “winter” so they scheduled the anniversary for June 2019 instead of January 2019. So that’s one of the main reasons we won’t be attending though we’ll be there in spirit. That […]

Why Is Easter A Moving Target?

There’s an explanation why the date of Easter moves around but yeah, if it’s supposed to commemorate the day Jesus was resurrected, you’d think that would be not a lot of room for debate. Anyhow, I’ll put myself in the camp of people who prefer it in late April instead of March. Hoppy Easter!

Should I Tip in USD or Local Currency While At An All-Inclusive?

Officially, most all-inclusive resorts have a “no tipping” policy. But the reality is that many workers at all-inclusive resorts toil for relatively low wages and many vacation-goers who spend thousands to go to an all-inclusive, don’t mind giving a bit more on top of that throughout the week in tips for servers, maids and others […]
