This is my last evening in New York. I fly back to MO tomorrow. It has been a really awesome trip! I’m a couple of days behind in posting, but I’ll do a quick one now. Sunday morning, I helped Brandon and Heather can green beans and pickles. It was a good morning activity, and …

Montreal Botanical Center and New York
Brandon and Heather joined me yesterday in Montreal, and we had a really fun day! Unfortunately, the Biodome was not that great. It’s really small and it was packed with people. It was hard to see anything and it smelled like sweat. The aquarium in St. Louis is much better. The Botanical Gardens were worth …
Old Montreal
I had a very pleasant day exploring the historic part of Montreal today. As you can see above, Montreal is really a mix of new and historic. I believe this is the Church of St. George with a skyscraper behind it. Microsoft Copilot told me that I was about 15 minutes away from the old …
Montreal
Hello All: I arrived in Montreal this afternoon for just a few days before I go visit my brother in New York. Bill is doing a multi-country trip to Europe! He has set up his own blog, and he’s trying to get into the travel agency business. His blog is great and has a lot …
On Our Way Home
Well, we are at the airport in Dallas waiting for our flight to St. Louis. Somehow, our flight left early from Belize, got into Dallas early and now we are probably slightly delayed because our plane got stuck in Cedar Rapids. It probably had to be de-iced. We have about 5 hours here in Dallas. …
Rest and relaxation
This trip is already winding down, we didn’t do as many adventures on this trip as we have on other trips. The water is rough and can be cool at times. There aren’t big enough waves for boogie boards, the water is just choppy. Choppy water also makes for cloudy water so visibility is lower. …
Snorkeling from Emily
Like many of our vacation destinations, Placencia has been a mixed experience and we are on the fence about whether coming back at a different time of the year would be better. It’s very quiet and laid back. The location is beautiful. Sunday, Bill had a pretty big gash in his foot because he has …
Placencia from Emily
Hello All: We are having a very low key vacation, so I haven’t had much to write about, but we are in a lovely place! Our apartment has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room with a big sofa. I’m currently on the balcony overlooking the lagoon. There is a nice breeze …
Inland Blue Hole
Howdy readers! Today we took a ride with Alex, professional taxi driver/tour guide for 9 years. Alex was a bit younger than Nestor and said that he sees Nestor more of a father figure than a brother. They are not related but like some back home they call each other brother here when they are …
Placencia Village Belize
Hello Kind Readers!! It’s been a while since Roatan. We have been here in Belize since Wednesday afternoon. We didn’t have any troubles with getting here, our flight out of STL wasn’t too early and our layover in DFW wasn’t overly long. There was a 2 hour drive to the hotel from the airport that …
