Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
Well, it finally happened. After almost 17 years together, my husband convinced me to take a cruise. "It will be amazing," he said. "We'll do land and sea." Honestly, it was the land part that made me cave. I envisioned a train ride where we'd have beautiful views and see lots of animals. From a... Continue Reading →
The Power of Play As we grow up, many of us tend to forget to play. It’s not the grownup thing to do, after all. The exception, perhaps, would be those who discover at a young age that not only are they talented in the arts, but they also believe in those abilities. I was... Continue Reading →
After our first “voyage” on the Halcyon, in December of ’22. My husband and I talked about going again in 5 years…or 3…or 2. We went back two weeks ago. As some of you may know, Disney decided in May to close the Starcruiser at the end of September. At close it will only have... Continue Reading →
Okay, I get it. That last post about staying on or off Disney property was a cliffhanger. I can fix that. This post is about what I prefer. (The last one was trying to show some pros and cons, knowing everyone has different budgets, etc.) As someone over 60, who is also living with post-covid... Continue Reading →
Whew! We’re back in New Hampshire after a week staying just outside of Orlando. It’s nice to be home and I really don’t miss the warmer weather…too much. As always, our house-sitter did an awesome job. The house did well while we missed some crazy-dangerous cold weather. Even the cats are still speaking to us.... Continue Reading →
The last time I blogged about visiting Disney World, I focused on mobility. That was helpful, but you also want some ideas of where to go while you’re popping around on your groovy new sneaks or cruising along (carefully watching for pedestrians) in your ECV (electric conveyance vehicle, also sometimes known as a scooter). It’s... Continue Reading →
Disney as an adult? Over Sixty? Absolutely! There really is something magical about a Disney World Vacation. Sure, you hear the stories about crowds and prices, but there are ways to enjoy the “Happiest Place on Earth” especially at this age. You just need to do a little research and know a few tricks. And... Continue Reading →
I'm running away. Well, only for a week, but I'm off to spend time with that mouse in Florida. As much as I'm looking forward to it, I'm astounded at how much I need to pack for a week's stay away. I take that back, it's not how much I need to pack, but what... Continue Reading →
Where’ve I been? Why I was navigating through another bout of brain fog and fatigue. Seriously, I’m starting to believe I need an internal lighthouse on those days, just to see my own thoughts. But I’m back, fog-free for as long as it lasts, and ready to put pen to paper. (No pens or paper... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in my last blog (Star Cruising, Part 1), we went on a “voyage” on Disney’s Galactic Starcruiser recently. Without giving away any spoilers, I’d like to share what it was like being one of the “seniors” on the cruise. It didn’t matter. The age range was from approximately 7 to someone that...
