Florida in February – Key West, Part Two
February 6 – 20 I finally got some sleep that night and awoke the next day in about the same condition, so we resolved to head over to Key West to an urgent care unit, fulfilling my unofficial goal of visiting such a facility or emergency room in each state. Unlike our recent experiences in […]
Florida in February – Fort Meyers, Part Three
February 6 – 20 We walked over to the Museum of Art, entered and waited a few minutes for our guided tour to start. Now designated as the official state art museum for Florida, it offers twenty-one galleries of European paintings as well as Cypriot antiquities and Asian, American, and contemporary art. Designed by the […]
Florida in February – Fort Meyers, Part Two
February 6 – 20 The next morning began a full day for us and with a nearly two hour drive to get to our starting point in Sarasota, the Ringling Circus Museum, it became clear we had not sufficiently allowed for the four-hour round trip. Otherwise, might have considered a different lodging arrangement for these […]
Florida in February – Fort Meyers, Part One
February 6 – 20 We’d be camping the next three nights at Pine Island outside of Fort Meyers, a drive of less than three hours and so, with some time to kill we decided to check out Ybor City, a historic neighborhood located just northeast of downtown Tampa. Founded in the 1880s by Vicente Martinez-Ybor […]
Florida in February – Tampa, Part Two
February 6 – 20 Our last day in the Tampa area would be a full one starting with the 60-minute drive to the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. Located on the downtown waterfront near 5th Avenue Southeast, Bayshore Drive, and Dan Wheldon Way, it houses the largest collection of Dalí’s works outside Europe. The […]
The Holidays 2019, Part Four
December 20 – January 7 We left the condo late in the morning and not sure about what we’d be doing later in the day food wise, made a stop at, yes, Juanitas to get that Carnitas burrito that had been eluding us. We would split it, providing just the right amount of ballast in […]
The Holidays 2019, Part Three
December 20 – January 7 Christmas day passed in a blur, Taylor’s incredibly good cinnamon rolls and strong coffee fueling a frenzy of gift opening that concluded with a wild and hilarious white elephant exchange that seems to get better each year. It had rained overnight and into the morning, but by the afternoon the […]
The Holidays 2019, Part One
December 20 – January 7 The lead up to our trip to the west coast for the holidays would be convoluted; we’d end up changing our flights twice, incurring painful re-booking costs, all ultimately worthwhile as it gave us extra days with folks we like. The last change bumped up our departure to the Thursday […]
Our Concert Adventures, Part One
October 27 – November 30 After our cycling adventures and that great weekend in New Orleans, we were home to stay for a couple of months until we’d head west for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Beyond cycling a bunch with our group/club, Charlotte Area Cycling, good fortune smiled on us in offering four […]
New Orleans 2019 – Part Two
October 19 – 24 Properly hydrated, we met up with the girls and walked to Jackson Square for the start of our private tour with Dave from NOLA Tour Guy. Having enjoyed a walking tour of the French Quarter during our last visit in 2016:(https://wordpress.com/post/3jmann.com/3389) and I hoped that our group would enjoy one as […]
