I’ve made my way back to the Oregon Coastal Highway on my virtual walk south.

I’m slowly making my way down the (virtual) Oregon coast on one of my virtual missions.

An eternity ago, when travel was a thing and cruising was a thing and dining in at restaurants was a thing, S and I spent a couple of days in Little Havana, Miami where we ate delicious food and listened to fun music and just generally had a great time. Continue reading “A little taste of Cuba”
Bleah
Another headache on waking.
This one comes with nausea.
Both will come in waves from before I wake up to after I go back to bed. Continue reading “Bleah”
Back to Greece
Meals for this week will be themed and inspired by my visit to Greece…
Homemade tzatziki. Who would have imagined something made from cucumbers and plain yogurt (okay: and garlic and lemon and dill, so that’s where the magic happens) could be so delicious?
I’m also making… seasoned beef inspired by gyro and souvlaki flavors… and spanikopita. With Kalamata olives as a delicious garnish to it all.
Now all I need is a glass of wine and good found-friends, and I’ll (almost) be back in Greece again.
Almost.
😊

Which makes it not terribly surprising that our summer cruise plans are… let’s call them…. Postponed. Continue reading “Shifting plans”
Wanderlust
It’s only been a few months since my last travel adventure. And, me being me, I have something else in queue.
But the fact that it is in queue, all set barring Covid-19-related travel restrictions, means it isn’t satisfying my wanderlust, and won’t until it’s time to go. Continue reading “Wanderlust”
Final Review: MSC Grandiosa Mediterranean Cruise
We started this early in the process (though we added throughout the cruise) in hopes it would free us up to be less complainy in the day-to-day posts.
So. Yeah.
On our first full day on board, we had gone to the show. You know, the one that was included but we needed to reserve seats for it (there’s no popping in to check things out and see if you’re interested, on this ship) because monstrosity?
They started the show 4 minutes early. Which would not be bad in itself, but not everyone had arrived and was seated. They continued to let people in after it started, but they didn’t make any efforts to organize getting people to seats. Continue reading “Final Review: MSC Grandiosa Mediterranean Cruise”
