Today: The honeymooners.
Nick and I are back from a blissful two weeks on Saint John. We snorkeled in the caves that (allegedly) inspired Treasure Island, took day trips that required passports, watched deer graze from our back deck, explored sugar mill ruins, and swam alongside sea turtles.…

Today: Austin to Boston, and Boston to Austin.

Today: The waiting game.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I am pretty sure I have packed any and everything I could possibly need for this weekend. And then some. I’ve looked at the course map more times than I can count, and Googled “how to get to the Staten Island ferry” more…
