    We didn't set an alarm this morning and it felt good to sleep in. When I looked at the clock it was 8:20. We took our time getting ready and got out of the BnB just after 10:30. There wasn't anything left on our list for Aviero so we headed…

    We wanted to be out the door by 8:30 this morning, so we set an alarm that went off way too quickly for me as I had gone to bed after 1:00 a.m. We made our goal time and walked down the block to a less congested area to order…

    Since we didn't have any specific plans for the day we didn't set an alarm. It felt good to sleep in and I was surprised when I looked at the time and it was 8:40. We took our time getting ready and enjoy the second ham and cheese thing we…

    This morning we got up and moving early so we would have time to grab a bite to eat and walk to the pick-up location for our Douro Valley wine tour. We discovered the little place we had previously scoped out for breakfast wasn't yet open, so we just walked…

    I wasn't surprised when I woke up this morning and it was only 6:45. It felt like I had slept a long time, but in reality it was less than 6 hours. Dumb jet lag. Tom was up shortly after me and we got ready to tackle the day. We…

    Over the past couple of years Tom has been watching a ton of videos and researching Portugal. He has fallen in love with this country before he has even stepped foot in it so when we were deciding where we should go to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, Portugal seemed…

    I actually set an alarm this morning because I didn't want to miss one last opportunity to walk the beach. I woke Erica up at 6:45 (Amanda told me the night before she was going to choose sleep over beach). We got out the door by 7:00 and headed to…

    It was nice to sleep in a little bit this morning as I didn't wake up until 8:30. We left the house about 10:30 and I dropped Amanda and Erica off at the place they like to get coffee and blueberry muffins. I proceeded to go snag the geocache near…

    Today was an early start as we needed to be to the marina (the same spot we went to catch the ferry to North Caicos) for 8:15 for our kayaking tour. We found where we needed to be and discovered the tour was just going to consist of us and…

    Erica had a meeting this morning, so we took our time getting ready and lounged around. I did spot a bird down by the pool and was able to use the Picture Bird App I accidentally acquired in Panama to identify the Yellow Crowned Night Heron. We got out the…

    We were up and out the door by 8:50. Everything on the island seems to be about 10-15 minutes away so we were by the ferry by 9:05. By 9:20 we were sitting on the ferry waiting for departure at 9:30. The ride over to North Caicos was the smoothest…

    I was up slightly before my alarm this morning and got going right away. When Amanda got up we learned she had been sick during the night and still wasn't feeling the greatest. She was unsure if she would be able to dive. Erica and I suggested she try to…
