Do you dream of flying or deserted tropical island

Do you dream of flying or deserted tropical islands? How about both? Both works. I recently took my drone to the Bahamas for a luxury all-inclusive dive trip with @allstarliveaboards . The diving was phenomenal, but the shore excursions were too good to pass up. We couldn't do both, but we could take turns‼⁣
🌴⁣
🌴⁣
One thing about our trip was that the winds were high almost every day. It kept us pinned to the north end of the Exuma Cay, but Captain Ron could always find a good dive spot and a sheltered cove to sleep each night. What I couldn't do was fly my drone.⁣
🌴⁣
🌴⁣
By the end of the trip, the weather broke, and we headed down to the Land and Sea Park. I took the excursion to Driftwood Beach and finally got my drone up in the air. Driftwood Beach didn't disappoint, but when I saw it from above...well it is pretty dang stunning❣⁣

Have you ever crashed a drone?

So no kidding, there we were‼ It was supposed to

So no kidding, there we were‼ It was supposed to be the mega Valentines Day Mardi Gras❣ The last time Valentine's Day fell on the Saturday before Fat Tuesday was 1953. This event has been 67-years in the making. Instead of a ruckus party, Bourbon Street was locked down tight.⁣
🌈⁣
🌈⁣
Did we care? Heck no, we were on a biking getaway exploring New Orleans. Now Snowmagaden, on the other hand.... We had one good day of riding from City Park to the French Quarter. Two beautiful but very different paths connect these iconic destinations. First, we rode down Esplanade Ave, which was the Creole Millionaire's Row back in the day. We took the Lafitte Greenway to get back.⁣
🌈⁣
🌈⁣
The Lafitte Greenway is in the lowland around Bayou St John, and it flooded badly during Katrina. The community is rebuilding with a wonderful path and all kinds of public art. This rainbow trail is still being built, but isn't it beautiful?⁣
🌈⁣
🌈⁣
Do you know what else was wonderful and beautiful? Our room @nolamarriottarts ❣ It was modern, clean, and spacious. It was also the perfect hub for a bike weekend. And if you happen to get rained out, it's only a short walk from the French Quarter too.⁣
🌈⁣
🌈⁣
Valentines Mardi Gras happens again in 2026. Hopefully, the world has returned to normal by then. And, who knows, maybe we'll come back and stay at the Marriott again to see what all the fuss is about 🎉🎉⁣

What are you looking forward to revisiting once the world returns to a more 'normal' state?

What I remember most from almost going to my bat m

What I remember most from almost going to my bat mitzvah is the old Yiddish adage “Mann Tracht, Un Gott Lacht” which means “Man Plans, and God Laughs.” That was our mantra for the Mississipi / Louisanna bike trip during the winter storm of the decade. We had visions of biking through Ocean Springs, MS. Instead, we went to the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art in Biloxi.⁣
❄⁣
❄⁣
We’re not usually museum people, but we loved the work and stories of artists like the namesake Mississippi master potter George Ohr.⁣
❄⁣
❄⁣
Artist and architect Frank Gehry designed an award-winning campus with a unified vision connected by an expansive brick plaza and majestic Live Oaks.⁣
❄⁣
❄⁣
The museum was a fascinating collection of new and old, modern and classic. We didn’t understand everything, but some pieces definitely moved us.⁣

When was the last time you went to a museum?

Visual proof that we did a little bit of riding on

Visual proof that we did a little bit of riding on the Longleaf Trace in Hattiesburg‼ Weather is a pernicious thing, what a difference a couple of days can make! The sun finally came out on our last day in town, just in time for us to leave. We drove north to Tupelo, which was socked in with ice and snow. There is a lot of wisdom in only planning outdoor adventures during daylight savings time....lol!⁣
🚲⁣
🚲⁣
On the subject of outdoor adventures, we HAVE TO COME BACK to Hattiesburg for a weekend of exploring❣ We learned that they not only have the 45-mile Longleaf Trace bike trail, but they also have Mississippi's only class 1 rapids on the Okatoma River. With all that outdoor fun, we're going to need that extra hour of daylight😉😍⁣

What are you looking forward to doing when winter ends?

Here's the latest action shot from our great Missi

Here's the latest action shot from our great Mississippi bike trip. Needless to say, we didn't get much riding done on the Longleaf Trace (a Rails-to-Trails Hall of fame winner!). Instead, we had a chance to explore the lovely little town of Hattiesburg.⁣
☃⁣
☃⁣
In my mind, I imagined Mississipi filled with fine folks sipping tea and rocking on the front porch. It turns out that the city of Hattiesburg has the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE of MILLENNIALS compared to other major cities in the Gulf South (>35%). That's more than Raliegh and more than Atlanta, and it shows.⁣
☃⁣
☃⁣
We explored craft breweries, strolled through the city's extensive street art collection of over 35 murals, and did a little eclectic shopping at the @theluckyrabbit . Perhaps we'll come back later in the evening and do a bit of ax throwing too. We even found the elusive @hattiesburgpocketmuseum ❣⁣
☃⁣
☃⁣
We didn't get our riding in, but we had lots of fun and too many good things to eat. It looks like we'll do some serious penance for our nutritional sins when we get home‼⁣
☃⁣

What do you do when you get snowed/rained out while traveling?

What a difference a week makes! At this time last

What a difference a week makes! At this time last week we were soaking in the sun on the @aquacatcruises on the crystal blue water of the Caribbean...
❄
❄
This week we find ourselves in Coastal Mississippi and Louisiana for a 'bike trip', All the while mother nature had a radically different idea!
❄
❄
There is in old Yiddish saying that says 'men plan, God laughs', and that is how this trip has shaped up so far. The South has been experiencing extremely unusual and unseasonable cold. In fact, it snowed yesterday in New Orleans yesterday while we were there!
❄
❄
When life gives you lemons you make lemonade, but in our case we are making sno-balls! We have stayed in some adorable (and comfy!) accommodations and eaten more than our fair share of delicious food while sipping yummy regional craft cocktails!
❄
❄
Though the weather has been rainy, grey, and gloomy every day, today we finally saw the sun!! We dashed out to photograph the gorgeous giant oak trees while we had some blue sky to enhance the background. I can honestly say that I am quite enamoured with these oaks!💚💚
❄
❄
How has the weather been in your neck of the woods? Are you dealing with crazy cold and storms also?
