Thursday, November 27, 2025 Happy Thanksgiving from Gibraltar! It was interesting to be in a Territory of the UK which touches Spain. We heard lots of languages but paid in Gibraltar Pounds which costs us more than Euros would. What can we say? Our port day was short today –…

Cadiz, Spain – Day 4 Transatlantic Cruise
Wednesday, November 26, 2025 The Norwegian Pearl passed the thin pass at Gilbralter last night (it was dark so it was a non-event for passengers,) taking us from the Mediteranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. We had been slowly moving south but as we rounded Spain, we headed a bit…

Cartagena, Spain – Day 2 Transatlantic Cruise
Monday, November 24, 2025 Our first port was Cartagena, Spain. We had a long day to visit and since we didn’t book an excursion, we took our time getting up and off the boat. The ship was docked near the city making it easy to walk into town. I read…

Kidlington – Day 18 of 2025 England Pilgrimage
Monday 10/6/2025 Jennie had to go to work today so she was out of the house before we were up. (I’m sorry, Jennie!) Today is our last full day in the UK so before going downstairs for tea and breakfast, I worked on repacking my suitcase. Gregg had worked on…

Salisbury & Avebury– Day 17 of 2025 England Pilgrimage
Sunday 10/5/2025 Today was packed full of wonderful experiences and gems. Though we saw a lot, I didn’t feel rushed. We just enjoyed the journey together as the day unfolded. We knew we all wanted to begin with church at Salisbury Cathedral. The Eucharistic Service was at 10:30. After easing…

Quiet Day in Kidlington – Day 15 of 2025 England Pilgrimage
Friday 10/3/2025 Today is rainy so we decided to have a quiet day at the house. Well, actually, we first walked into Kidlington to pick up a few grocery items at the Tesco while it was still just drizzling. We took the towpath to the right, walked to the first…
