Happy New Year! Funchal in Madeira, Portugal, erupted into joyous fiesta at the outset of the year. May dreams all over the world come true in ‘22!
Speaking of ‘all over the world,’ my ongoing voyaging will at times take me out of ‘phone and wifi reach in the coming months, sometimes for a week or more at a time. May warm ocean winds keep us connected in those times … ☀️✨💕🛳
Ohmygosh, Simon, how spectacular! What a fabulous way to welcome the new year. May it be a harbinger of brighter days to come. 🤞 Where are you off to next? Wishing you smooth sailing and safe seas! 😘 xox
Thanks, Lori. Yes, indeed, let us hope for light and health and peace in ‘22.
On travels: back to the UK for a couple of hours and then onwards – in the course of a Caribbean and the Americas voyage – to Ponta Delgada, Azores; St Johns, Antigua; Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe; Roadtown, Tortolo (British Virgin Islands); Santa Marta, Colombia; Cartagena de Indias, Colombia; Colon, Panama; Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Belize City, Belize; Cozumel, Mexico; Kings Wharf, Bermuda – and then home again! 😘 xx
Whoa! THAT is some journey, Simon! How delightful. I’ve been to a handful of these places…Antigua, Tortola…but would love to see more. My brother (a plastic surgeon) did humanitarian work in Columbia some years back…said it is a beautiful country. ☺️ Looking forward to more of your pictorial travelogue in the coming weeks. 😍
Thank you, Lori. I shall think of you especially in each of the places you have named – as well as in all the others! 😘🎉xx
