Cabo San Lucas at the tip of the Baja Peninsula

You have seen pictures of El Arco many times, I bet!! When you see it up close and personal it is an amazing experience. It's like "Gosh this place really does exist, and I'm here!!" Our Princess cruise for my birthday took us there. I dove just outside the harbor at Pelican Rock. The waves were very high and rough but, as in most cases, once you are below it's calm and peaceful.

There are very few swimmable beaches here. The water is ccccold and there is an abundance of poisonous jellyfish. Be sure to check with a knowledgeable travel advisor (hint hint) about hotels that feature safe swimming!!

Sailing north from Cabo you pass huge expanses of wild uninhabited beach areas. But travel there soon: many hotels are planned for the area!!

Rabat Morocco, we visit the hospital where Linda was born!!

We were not even certain if the building was still standing. The staff at our hotel, The Diwan, knew that the hospital, once part of Port Lyautey Naval Air Station where her father was stationed, was being razed to make way for a Four Seasons so the concierge drove the four of us there so we could stand near the spot. It was a poignant moment. Do you think we got there just in time? https://www.facebook.com/groups/3211569802202093/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Air_Station_Port_Lyautey

In Aruba, a shopping haven ... for the ladies

I came upon this scene in Aruba, but it’s a universal phenomenon. The women shop and the men look for a place to sit. This would be a good entry for a funny parody account on Instagram called “Shopping With Their Ladies: The Miserable Men of Instagram.” A couple of years ago, a mall in Shanghai introduced “husband rest cabins”, spaces with comfortable leather chairs and video games where husbands could relax while their wives shop to their heart’s content. It wasn’t quite so fancy in Aruba.
