I am a HUGE fan of Pons by Avarcas USA. I could not think of a better sandal for my lifestyle and personality. They have especially become an essential staple for my travels to Uganda! I have gone through two pairs of the brown and just recently added the forest green to my Pons family. I think the taupe are next. That code will be available until July 31st! .

My first destination back on the travelling band wagon was the capital of Spain, Madrid.

Be it rain, snow, hot temps or cool temps, I always had a safe sanctuary for indoor exercise if I wanted. As a supplement to running and cycling, a gym membership was the perfect partner. Simple, basic, and no bullshit. Kudos to Woodbury city planning efforts. Back To The RV Park.

To continue this blog, or to start anew? Most of the posts I have written for this blog date way back to 2009. That feels like virtually a lifetime ago.

Thursday, January 2, 2014. Ringing In the New Year. We rang in the new year, modified for the 4 and under crowd. We had a dinner of appetizers, then the celebration ensued.

We visited Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the neighboring country of United Arab Emirates. There we visited friends, snorkel.
