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 … ☀️✨💕🛳
wind in my wheels 🌱 
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

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. 😍
