Bi-Plane Ride

 

Always an adventure!

One bucket list item is checked off... a ride in a bi-lane.

To think that these planes were used in war time, is just amazing. 

We flew over the NASA landing field and over cruise ships at the pier.

Florida Air Tours in Cocoa Beach, Florida

Brittany Coast of France

 

The one issue of living in Florida is the August/September humidity and heat.

We've solved the problem. Leave!

This year we traveled to France in September to get away.

September is a good month to go because the summer European crowds are lessened.

The weather is pleasant in September, although still warm.

We traveled to the Brittany Coast with side trips to Normandy and Omaha Beach, and many small towns along the way. We ate oysters in Canales, which are considered one of the best!

There were many small adventures, so check out my Flickr site for more photos!

This is an excellent way to avoid the Florida humidity, and see the world!

France and the Seine River

 

Limestone cliffs along the Seine

Our latest travels took us to France.

Beautiful countryside along the Seine River, Paris, Normandy, and the Brittany coast were our destinations. 

More photos will follow.

Real Cowboys Colorado

 

For a change of pace, and to get away from the Florida humidity, we took a road trip to Colorado. Great time, great state, and the air is mountain cool!

Davis Park, Fire Island

 

Missing Fire Island, as the summer approaches. 

This is the time to secure your summer rental. Wait another few weeks and it will be too late!

I won't be renting at Davis Park this year. It's getting more and more expensive, and for good reason.

So, for this year, it's time for me and my husband to look elsewhere for some summer adventures.

We are planning to travel to other parts of our beautiful country. 

Perhaps in a year or two we will return to a summer on Fire Island.

 No year is the same, nor do we want it to be.

 Long Island, and Fire Island especially, will always be in my heart, so I know I will return.

It's all good!

Doing what I love!

 

I love being out on the water!

Boating is something I did when I lived on Long Island and it's what I do here in Florida.

The only difference is that I can now do this all year round.

The photo above was taken on a sunset sail in Key West, Florida.

Winter in Florida

 

Winters in Florida are wonderful, all because of the weather.

The photo above was taken at sunrise in January.

On this morning, I needed nothing more than a light sweatshirt to keep me warm.

Watching the sun rise anywhere is special, but it's so much more pleasant without freezing hands and cold feet.

My heart will always be in New York, especially Long Island, but it's nice to get away from the snow, ice and freezing cold.
