Welcome back to another monthly update from Root of Good! This is a bonus edition covering the last TWO months. Many readers reached out to me to find out where the May update went. The truth is I was way too busy with a series of back to back to back cruises around the world. I only had a few days in Raleigh between each cruise, so I had to focus on other things while in town. In May we flew to the west coast and took an 11 night cruise to Alaska. After that, we flew home for a few days. At...| Root of Good
Welcome back to another monthly update from Root of Good! We spent most of April at home enjoying the springtime flora and fauna. But we also managed to squeeze in a week in the Caribbean on board the Holland America Rotterdam cruise ship. Right now we are just a few days away from commencing a six week period of busy travel that brings us to the west coast of the USA, then Alaska, Europe, and at the end of June, back to the Caribbean. We'll be back home for a few days here and there but mo...| Root of Good
Welcome back to another monthly update from Root of Good! We have enjoyed almost a full month back at home in Raleigh since our last vacation but we're about to hit the high seas again in a couple of days.

Welcome back to another monthly update from Root of Good! This month's update is a little later than usual since I've been on vacation during the first part of March. We got home a few days ago and I'm finally catching up on things around the house. Our last cruise was actually two week-long cruises back to back on the MSC Seascape sailing out of Miami. We had perfect weather that let us explore some new islands or new parts of the islands we've already been to in the past. Now we get to ...| Root of Good
Welcome back to another monthly update from Root of Good! The new year is in full swing and off to a good start so far. We just got home from an 11 night cruise to Mexico out of San Francisco. And in two weeks we will set sail again for two weeks in the warm Caribbean waters. While I'm at home for a few weeks at a time, it's always a scramble to take care of chores around the house, take care of some car maintenance, and keep an eye on my financials. It's not all productivity - we're also b...| Root of Good
Welcome back to another monthly update from Root of Good! Christmas and New Years celebrations are drifting away in the rearview mirror as we round the corner into 2025. We've enjoyed the winter holidays being at home with the really cold weather holding off until this week. Next weekend, we set out for another cruise for the remainder of January. We'll be visiting several new ports along the way so it's going to be a nice change of scenery compared to our normal Caribbean cruises. While ...| Root of Good
