Linda Loves Life

Lisbon, Portugal – here I come!!  While aimlessly scanning my computer the other night, I stumbled across a great opportunity on Continental Airlines.  By using my mileage and paying $120, I booked myself a trip for spring break!  Yeah – one more trip off the top of my bucket list!!  Researching is so exciting – time [...]

I love Miami!      

I’ve been away for six days – back to Michigan in the cold weather (17 degrees one morning) and my small town roots!  I love to visit, remember old times and see good friends . . .  Actually, there were several reasons for my trip.  I was able to speak with the “old” renters of my parent’s [...]

An idea has been buzzing around in my head for awhile now and tonight I decided to act on it.  My thought was to go to Lisbon, Portugal, for Spring Break next March.  I planned to use my Frequent Flyer Mileage as I always do, so I called American Airlines (very confidently) and started to [...]

What a schedule for 10 days!  Jacqui, my old friend and travel buddy, and I visited Italy, Sicily and had an overnight stop in Ireland. What a wonderful time we had!!  (See:  Better late, then never – summer travels . . . .  2008/09/08/!

Of course we all ate [...]

In June of 2008, I visited NYC with Michele, my daughter-in-law, Anne, my dear friend from Satellite Beach, and Jacqui, her daughter who has become my travel buddy.  Anne was not well and I think I knew on some level that it might be the last outing that the two of us would share, but [...]

Midge and I worked together many years ago in Titusville, Florida.  We became dear friends, and even though we have moved apart geographically, we are still close.  I try to get to Chattanooga once a year for a visit and we email or talk on the phone often.  I absolutely adore her spirit –  in [...]

I have just returned from a magnificent vacation that covered the UK and two continents!  My Frequent Flyer mileage made this all possible – and I am already planning for next year! Read More…
