Mojo Does London Recap October 17 & 18, 2024

 On Thursday, October, 17, 2024, Richard and Beth left to go home.  Joe and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with them as they hosted us in seeing the sights of London.



Well Joe and I are on our own and with a few hiccups, we are navigating the Tube system.

Thursday and Friday - October 17 & 18, 2024 - have been low key days.  I did not feel the best and we slept in and did shopping and focused on food.

On Thursday, we ate a great breakfast and took a trial run to Wembley Stadium, so it will be less stressful on Sunday as the Jaguars host the New England Patriots. We ate a late lunch/early dinner at the Global Buffet at the stadium.  It had every ethnic food group represented and was quite tasty.

On Friday, October 18, 2024 slept in, ate a good breakfast and went shopping at Camden Market. Camden Market was very eccentric with the goods being sold and the people there.  As it was getting dark, I told Joe I was ready to leave this place and get back home. This was another adventure.  The underground station we had used to get there was now closed and we had to walk another station.  I was glad to get inside that station.  I knew once inside we could figure out how to navigate home and we did.



I like the below picture because it reminded me of 2 cruises taken with my cousin, Marcia. There is a street in Puerta Plata, Dominican Republic that has colorful umbrellas.

That night we went to a local Kensington restaurant - Little India- and had an awesome meal.  I know, every meal has been awesome, but this really was!





Blessings!

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 ," ...
