December 24, 2014, After driving a harrowing 10 hours in lousy weather I’m almost at my destination: Centerville, Tennessee. I’m visiting my friend Cate who moved here from Massachusetts to be closer to her brother. Centerville is a sleepy town about an hour south of Nashville. She lives in a…
Day 32: 8 am. Sunday, December 21, 2014, I wake up from a wonderful night sleep at the Island Inn on Sanibel Island. The sun is shining and another lovely beach day. It’s just a few days before Christmas and I’m enjoying the last few warm sunny days. I love it.…
Day 30: It’s official, I’ve been traveling for 1 month. I have a few more days to enjoy the sun and the warmth before I head to Tennessee for Christmas. I now understand why people leave the dreary north in the winter and head to Florida. I don’t want to…
Day 29: I leave Fort Lauderdale at 10am after the morning commute, destination Fort Meyers Beach and Sanibel Island. On TripAdvisor I find a beachfront hotel, Neptune Inn. It’s a boutique hotel with only 2 levels (3 levels for ocean front rooms) which I like, not those massive ugly concrete buildings…
Day 27-28: Flew back to Ft. Lauderdale the night before from Nassau on Jet Blue. Thank God for TripAdvisor and Yelp. I rely on them heavily for reviews. I look at the reviews and pictures, then go to the hotel’s website, look at their site and book the reservations. So…
Day 24: After the 7 day tall ship cruise on the Liberty Clipper I am looking forward to just relaxing on the beautiful Cabbage Beach, Paradise Island at the Sunrise Beach Villas. I say my goodbyes to my new friends and take a taxi back to the hotel. Before my…

Day 21 We have breakfast at 8am then anchors away as we head out of Hatchet Bay Harbor, Eleuthera. This time I take better video of the sail through the narrow channel (You can see it on YouTube; the raw cuts). We sail for a few more hours. All is…
Day 20 continues: Eleuthera The schooner is in full sails, gliding through the water. The sounds of the waves, the wind, and the sails rustling are calming to the soul. Everyone is relaxing enjoying the sights. We then turn and head towards a safe harbor at Hatchet Bay. Once a fresh water…
Day 20 I wake up to the sounds of the water gently lapping the boat. I lie for a moment feeling the movement then get dress and head up for breakfast. The Captain tells us our itinerary for the day which includes hiking to the Glass Window Bridge. This is…
