See you in October 2011!

Well, friends, this is it for now!  We have - as unbelievable as it seems - seen six months in the south come and go.  It passed so quickly!  Some of you stopped by our blog occasionally and others on a daily basis.  Either way, we are sincerely grateful to you for taking the time to visit and read about our travel adventures.  We enjoyed ourselves tremendously and loved sharing those experiences with you. 

We are putting the blog to bed for a few months, and will return full speed in the fall.  We hope you will remember to check in anytime starting October 2011 to find out what new adventures Juanita has in store.  In the meantime, we wish each and every one of you the best spring and summer ever!

Note to our new readers:  Please feel free to read past posts found at the bottom of this page!  And do share this blog address with anyone currently retired, planning to retire or just lovers of travel!
