Where we've been

Well it's official, we've been traveling for 10 years straight. We did take that break when we had to go back to the Florida house for renovations (that lasted about 11.5 months) but we didn't live there. Pretty hard to believe it's been a decade.

Red Lodge Montana

Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine in St. Croix

Just a few days after arriving in St Croix, a lady mentioned that she just got her vaccine. She said “You can too even though you’re visiting.” Well now it was on our mind! We found the medical office that she suggested online (https://plessenhealthcare.com/covid-19-vaccine-updates/) and…
