Mojo June 2024 Road Trip

 Hi everyone.  I have never done a blog, but decided to give it a go and document our road trip.  Joe had a dream to take a road trip, so here we are doing it.  




We will be meeting family for a long weekend in mid June in Saranac Lake and instead of flying up decided to embark upon this road trip.  This trip has been in the works since last November...wow...lots of time has been devoted.  We will see how it goes.  

We are driving our new Toyota RAV4, whom Joe named Bernadette.  

Bernadette crossed into Georgia.  I thought about my Aunt Judy when she lived in Port Wentworth and I spent summers with her.  That area has certainly grown.



We crossed into South Carolina and realized the highway system needs a major overhaul.  Only 2 lanes with lots of bumps along the way.



Bernadette crossed into North Carolina and I was so enthralled at looking at the defunk South of the Border, I missed the welcome sign to NC, so I got the best pic I could. It says North Carolina Tar Heels 2023 Women's  Tennis National Championships.



Let's hope the blog and pictures get better.  Tomorrow we are headed to Colonial Williamsburg. 

Talk to ya soon!

France 2025 - D Day

 Hello Fabulous Followers!  Joe and I have embarked upon another travel adventure - 40 days!  The first part of our journey lasts 20 days in France, traveling with a group led by our travel agent, Pam. We are on a AmaWaterways river cruise that started in Paris and navigating the Seine River northward. Now, I usually start a blog with the beginning of our journey (and I will catch you up), but I have been led in a different direction after today's experience. Today, we traveled to the beaches of Normandy and the American cemetery at Normandy.  We sang the National Anthem, had a flower bearing ceremony, listened to Taps and had a moment of silence. The veteran gentleman who presented the flowers is a member of our group.  What a touching moment! There are 5 Normandy beaches - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.  The Omaha beach stormed by the Americans was by far the most treacherous to navigate.  These soldiers had to escape the boats or die, and what w...

Mojo Rants and Blunders - France & More 2025

  Hey Fabulous Followers!  Yes, we have been back for 2 weeks, but voices in my head still wants me to write this blog.  These voices and thoughts have been in my head during our trip and they want out, so here goes! WARNING:  Some comments below are honest, true feelings and blunt. I have a few rants about this trip.   1. Europeans have better food, walk, take public transporation, and are mostly smaller than we Americans, but they like to smoke!  If you know me well, I abhor smoke, nicotine, tobacco, vaping, e-cigarettes. Go to a restaurant and the first thing they give you is an ashtray.  No way Jose, take that thing away!! But these people smoke and blow it in your face.  There were a few times, I thought about throat punching a few people. But I didn't, cause I am so sweet, but when I could I blew back in their face. So there! 2. Wash cloths.  Oh my word! While in Nice, Geneva, Brussels and Southampton - this was 10 nights!  No...

  Hey Fabulous Followers! This blog is dedicated to my Aunt Alice whom I called Auntie Mama! After my mom died, I coined the name Auntie Mama.  Aunt Alice looked a lot like my mom and people at times thought I was her daughter. Joe and I decided over a year ago to take this trip that was earned in a casino.  Since I was provided a balcony room for 2, I decided to upgrade to a junior suite with a sunset balcony. This means our room was in the aft or back of the ship.  It is an unbelievable sized balcony where we spent lots of time enjoying our private paradise. I                                                   This get away was about rest, relaxation and just enjoy being with each other.  We had 2 ports of call.  The first was Costa Maya . We took an excursion to the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins which means the " Place of the Red Corn ," ...
