After almost three months at “home” in the USA, it is time to get our butts on a jet plane! What a great time it has been though, visiting family, and friends, and spending special time with daughters and doctors! And of course, eating! Everyone treated us fine with great food and fun, and naturally, we made the rounds to all our favorite spots for tastes we cannot get abroad. Ahh while it has been wonderful, it is time to pack our bags and embark on a new adventure. Come with us!
This trip will be longer, but much simpler. We call this our Spanish Language Tour. Our stops are in Spanish-speaking countries and will include just a short stay in Albufeira, Portugal, then 3 months each in Malaga, Spain, and cities yet to be determined in Paraguay and Guatemala.
Time evaporates, you know. We will be back in Atlanta before we know it in December. We are excited and hope you are too. This should be an amazing 9-month, all-new experience!
Safe travels my loves and GOD bless and keep you two! 😘❤️
Don Melissa! You’re always the first I hear from and it always makes me happy! You guys please take care of each other and enjoy your days. I love you and can’t wait to see you again. Oh my love to you!
Praying for a wonderfully safe and adventurous journey! (How could it not be adventurous and exciting with you two loves)
I’m excited you’ve invited me to “travel with You” ! I’m so excited! Love you guys and Miss you already🙏❤️
Betty, thank you ever ever so much for your prayers. We know they keep us safe. We are so glad we got to see you for a little bit and hopefully that we can visit more next time we’re in town in December. Meanwhile I look forward to hearing from you and ask you to please take care of each other and that precious baby boy, and enjoy your life to the fullest!
Smooth air dear friends. It has been wonderful to share this time with you.
Thank you, darling girl! We thoroughly enjoyed our time together with you too during this visit. You and Greg are very, very special to us! And we look forward to the next time. Meanwhile, I look forward to hearing from you often during the next nine months! Love, hugs and kisses!!!
Best of luck on your new journey. I’ve been missing your “blogs”. We have had a great deal of medical issues to deal with. The day after Christmas, Dayna had a stroke and fortunately I was able to get her to the hospital in time to remove the clot…so no residual brain damage. Now we go to Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy. My job is to”Drive Miss Dayna”. Stay safe!
Gary! As usual, it is wonderful to hear from you but we are sad to hear about Dayna’s stroke. However, we know you were taking good, good care of her. Please give her a hug from us. Do you take care and we look forward to hearing from you next!!
So glad to see you back. I’ve been wondering where you were…now we know. Look forward to reading about your new adventures.
Hi JUDY, I am so glad to hear from you! I hope you and Gail are well and it tickles me that you’re following along with us sending you big love!
Bon voyage and it’s about time! I’m ready for you two to get moving again. Please check before going to Guatemala or
Paraguay since their crime is increasing daily due to drug gangs. Stay safe out there!
Hi Chatlotte! We are very excited to begin this trip! We are registered with STEP, the state department. They are aware that we will be traveling to Paraguay and Guatemala and will send us notices of any danger or concern for traveling to those places.
Safe travels! Looking forward to seeing you hopefully in Malaga. Keep in touch!

You know us only too well-we are indeed ready to take flight!! Do keep that light on for us. We cant wait to see you two very special people again! Love you so much!
Janie, your plans sound wonderful! I am so thrilled that they include Guatemala. I have been there many times taking groups as part of a long-term partnership with an organization there. It’s a beautiful country with beautiful people in spite of their ongoing difficulties. When you are ready, I would love to connect you with Guatemalans I know there and also with a woman based in Atlanta who works with that organization.
In the meantime, we wish you and Stan smooth and enjoyable travels!
Sharyl! We are truly looking forward to our stay in Guatemala, and will appreciate any tips or any connections with locals that you can make for us. We have found that suggestions from people who have spent time there is always better than any other. As it always is wonderful to hear from you, and I’m delighted you’ll be following along again!
❤️❤️❤️✌️

Happy trails to you!
Greta! It’s wonderful to hear from you and I am very happy you will be reading our stories!
