Have you ever had something happen to you that made you so upset that you just had to sit back and let it all settle before you could address it? We did, and sadly, it was our own wedding. We were able to talk about it with our family and friends after it happened, but […]
Coming Out of Hiding
The first step to realizing you have a problem is admitting you have a problem. We suck, seriously, we do. We have been bad bloggers as of late, and we need to get back on track. Here is the low down on what we have been up to as of late
Celtic Dreams – The Highlights of our Trip to Ireland [In Photos]
This trip was a first for both Andy and I. Neither of us had traveled to Ireland before, and we didn’t really know what to expect going into it. We heard it was green, and that there’s a strong affinity for dark beers there (putting Andy in his natural element). We heard there were leprechauns […]
Cruising On By… Our Journey Across the Atlantic on a Big, Big Boat
If you have been following along with us, you know that we have parked our butts in La Paz, Mexico to tell stories about some of the tropical islands, and the Azores… but what about that cruise that took up 14 days of our time?
Flight Newbie to World Traveler: My Year in Review
Tomorrow is the birthday of my very first plane ride. I have never felt so nervous before in my life — well maybe that’s a white lie, I was pretty nervous deciding to make the leap of going off to college after being done with school for five years. Or the day of my first […]
Vieques Unleashed: Things to Do, Sites to See, Places to Eat!
As you may know by now, we love… and I mean love Vieques. It was especially nice to go back for our wedding to spend more time on the island. Vieques is 21 miles east to west and 4 miles north to south; with it being so small, you think you would have enough time […]
Bye Ferry… Now What?
“….I don’t think we are going to get on that boat, it’s leaving the dock… NOW!”
This is how our journey back to Puerto Rico’s mainland started after our week on a beautiful tropical island for our wedding & honeymoon. This is also how we learned that Vieques’ island life is not what we were used to back in the States. Things move more slowly, processes take longer, people are laid back — but for some reason, our ferry was in ‘Let’s get the ‘F’ out of here’ mode!
It’s Sunday morning — our last full day on Vieques, and we wanted to explore and take it all in before we had to go back to dreary, winterlike Wisconsin. We were staying at Tradewinds in Esperanza and checked out of our room early, since we had to be up at 6:00AM the next day to make sure we caught the ferry back to Fajardo. My parents had overheard that passengers were not allowed on the cargo ferry, so we just wanted to double check if that was true or not. Passengers are allowed, but we learned that it is just better to take the passenger ferry – things just work smoother.
