Permission To Hustle Retreat At Sea 2020

Posted on

I had the pleasure and luck to join my daughter and her partner on the Permission To Hustle at Sea Retreat in February 2020 on the Carnival Cruise Line. I was with the most amazing group of women who work hard ,support each other with kindness and positivity. They were a joy to witness. They worked hard all day long at meetings and conferences, while I wiled away the day on deck. After all that hard work, we all got together to enjoy dinner and some down time. Honestly I did my best to keep up.

But first a cocktail because everyone knows happy hour is the best hour. Laughing and sipping, ordering the most amazing dishes for dinner. We were on cruise mode.

The daily cruise forecast each day was hard work during the day with a good chance of cocktails at night. We did get off the ship at Grand Cayman and Mexico for day excursions, everyone picked their destination and we all got together again each and every evening. Sharing the days’ amazing experience and adventures on shore. I miss these women.

Little did we know about the havoc waiting for us on our return. I think about that bottle of champagne that was delivered to our room courtesy of Carnival Cruise. We never opened it and we left it in the room. Celebrate the times of your life in your way everyday. I wait for the chance to get on a cruise ship again because truly…..Life is better on a cruise. Be Well. Stay Well.

Our Trip To Iceland

Posted on

We are so glad we got to visit Iceland. It was unexpected, Merci daughter Erica invited us to join her and Jennifer for a long weekend in February and we jumped at the chance. We stayed at the Hotel Holt in Reykjavik, a walk away from the bustling main streets and sites. We also enjoyed breakfast every morning and cocktails in the late afternoon.

Just a short walk to the water for a spectacular view.

We went on day bus trips to visit the geysers and hot springs we could not help bu smile and clap. And of course the Blue Lagoon Spa. Now we know why it is one of the 25 wonders of the world. It was snowing and we did not care. Amazing!!!

We had a chance to visit a stable and see the beautiful Iceland Horses, which are pony sized and so adorable.

Then there are the Northern Lights, The Aurora Borealis, which we were told may or may not show for any number of reasons, clouds or too windy, but we were blessed that night The sight was magical. We were not able to see the colors with our naked eye, but our cameras picked it all up.

We enjoyed a delicious meal every night, sometimes fancy sometimes not so fancy. All the restaurants were a walk away from the hotel and the variety of food always fresh and so tasty.

The weekend went so fast we each promised to return because Iceland is a magical land.

We will be back Iceland.
