    Could you? Would you? Should you?Marriott has become the second hotel chain this week (following Hyatt) to announce free on-site Coronavirus testing to arriving guests at resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean. So, could you? Yes.But would you? Does this "perk" make you more willing to stay with these brands, or even visit Mexico or the Caribbean in general?And finally, should you? While Mexico has had troubles with infection rates across the nation, many Caribbean islands have managed COVID far better. Of course, it's easier to do when you have a natural barrier formed by hundreds of miles of open ocean. So if we were going to visit a hotel with free Coronavirus tests for guests, that's where we would head.How about you? ... See MoreSee Less

    Always wanted to visit Alaska? Our logic says this might be the summer to do it. The 2021 Alaska Cruise season has been shut down by Coronavirus, meaning fewer fellow visitors.

Quoddy Head is the easternmost point in the USA. Traditionally, people gather here for sunrise to be the first in the nation to welcome each New Year! (Although, technically,  you can see it just a little earlier from the summit of Cadillac Mountain in @acadianps during the winter.)

    It may be post-Christmas, but the Holiday Season g It may be post-Christmas, but the Holiday Season goes on! We took a pre-New Year drive to the town of Roanoke, "The Unique Dining Capital of Texas!" While Mother Nature threatens to rain all over DFW's New Year's Eve celebrations, she sure made Roanoke's Christmas declorations shine! 

So many people decided to put up holiday decorations early as a cheery rebuttal to the year that was 2020.We're hoping everyone leaves them up for a glittering beginning to 2021! Which brings us to this question: How long is too long to leave the lights up? THIS year, we're thinking St. Valentine's Day, at least.

Like many others, our holidays have been very different this year, with only a few of us at "home," some across town, and others across the globe! We have officially celebrated our first Zoom-mas! 😆 What hasn't changed is the importance of friends and family - in fact, maybe more important than ever! Our hope is that you have been able to celebrate with those important to you, whether virtually or in person.

We can do this, people. We HAVE to do this!  Also, #MaskUp. No BS, no whining, no excuses. Glad to see so many people practicing safe travel on this trip. We appreciate it as much as you do. 🙏😁

#showingourage 🤣

Just like that, we're enjoying a Mexican Hot Chocolate #Mocha #Latte! We love this #coffee hack because it reminds us of Cafe Oaxaca that we loved in #Mexico. Also reminds us of the mocha we had at @choco_latte.cafe in Bar Harbor. Plus, it's super easy, which is important when you're working on that first cup of the day. ☕

What's your favorite coffee hack that reminds you of someplace in your travels?

    This is the end of America. #NotMetaphorical 🤣 This is the end of America.  #NotMetaphorical 🤣 

The other day, we posted a photo of Portland Head Light, which was the first lighthouse in Maine. You could say this one is the last. 

This is the West Quoddy Head Light in Lubec, Maine. It is literally at the end of America, as the easternmost point in the contiguous United States. The original lighthouse was built here in 1808, replaced by this red and white striped beauty in 1858, to guide ships through the Quoddy Narrows. The Keeper's House attached to it is now a small visitor's center and museum, but was closed by the Pandemic during our visit. 🙁 However, the Quoddy Head State Park remains open, with about 5 miles of hiking trails.

Fun Fact #1: This was the first lighthouse to have a fog bell (still on display) due to the area's frequent and dense fog. Right on que, fog and choppy seas developed as we arrived.

Fun Fact #2: this lighthouse is featured on a 25c stamp issued by the U.S. Post Office in 1990!

Have you been to this end of America?

    When in Rome do as the Romans. When in #Maine, tak When in Rome do as the Romans. When in #Maine, take pictures of lighthouses!

In this case, the historic Portland Head Lighthouse, seen from the cliff walk in Fort Williams Park. How historic? It was the first lighthouse commissioned by George Washington, back  in 1787, and it's been guarding Portland Harbor since 1791. That makes it the oldest lighthouse in Maine!

Today, it's automated, along with the foghorn, and run by the U.S. Coast Guard. The keeper's house is now an award-winning museum, with a quaint, seasonal gift shop right next door. It is an easy drive from downtown Portland to the beautiful town of Elizabeth, where the 90-acre park offers picnicking, sports  fields, hiking and walking trails among the remnants of bunkers, and along the beautiful Rocky Coast.

    2020 was "unprecedented" in soooo many ways, including in the number of complaints the DOT got about airlines (the number went up by nearly 600%).
