Exploring the Big Blue Marble

Well the Practice is over
Now Retired

This post is the hardest post I have ever done.
My Best Friend, Travel Partner, Soul-Mate, Mother, Grandmother (Nannie), Wife and so much more, suddenly passed away this summer one week after we returned from our Europe trip.
I believe we spent more minutes together than almost any other couple on the planet.  We were always in sync, never argued and rarely even disagreed and when we did, would have a calm discussion and work out a solution.   I am missing her for so many reasons!  She was also the best person on the planet at planning trips for us (and others), am now starting a whole new skill of planning trips.
My first Solo trip is a Caribbean Beach Trip:
