Read MoreYou may have noticed a few changes to my blog, The Traveling Empty Nester: a new logo, a new look, and feel, a cleaner design. When I started this blog in January, I wasn’t sure what it would become. I also wasn’t sure if I would have the time or…
Read MoreA couple of weeks ago, my friend and I were able to travel to Jamaica for a long weekend at the Hyatt Zilara. While it didn’t start off that great, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return.
