Day 13 of Family Quarantine
Captain’s Log 26 March 2020 Y’all I am exhausted. I woke up and ran, literally, I actually ran. This is highly unusual. But I didn’t stop there, I walked the dog, I did a lot of landscaping (because most years I am traveling too much to pay attention to my yard), I planted a bunch…

Day 11 of Family Qurantine
Captain’s Log 24 March 2020 To see yesterday’s post, click here.

Traveling with Heart and Health Problems
Hey there, fellow travelers! Today we’re in Xi’an, China, home of the Terra Cotta Warriors. Today’s topic is a bit more serious as we’re talking about travel health, specifically, traveling with heart issues or health problems. I was born with two holes in my heart, so I can relate.
