Ughhh…today was “go home” day and it sucked. For two weeks, I’d been saying that things didn’t suck, but that changed today. We headed for our last breakfast at the resort’s buffet and, despite the smiles in the selfies, we were all pretty bummed that our vacation was coming to an end. After breakfast, we … Continue reading Escape The Winter Trip 2020: Day 15

I’m super happy to report that I was able to equalize my left ear this time (after a bit of coaxing) and we were able to make it down to check out the shipwreck. The history of … Continue reading Escape The Winter Trip 2020: Day 10
