Havana and Surroundings
Sabbatical (Part 3) We left the friendly confines (go Cubs!) of West Palm Beach and drove south under the ever-watchful guidance of Waze. On I90, if you’re not the driver, it’s almost like an interactive video game…there are so many … Continue reading
Cumberland Island
Sabbatical (Part 2) When researching fun and interesting places to visit before our trip began, Amy remembered her cousin Holly telling her about Cumberland Island and Greyfield Inn. After a bit of looking around on the Internet Machine, we were … Continue reading
