Eclipse 2017: An earth-shadowing experience from our home in Crete, Nebraska

Eclipse 2017: An earth-shadowing experience from our home in Crete, Nebraska

When science writer Trudy Bell said to never let anyone convince me that 99% of the sun covered was the same as totality, I didn’t know what to think. She then went on to say, “It’s 1% of the sun’s surface, but it’s 100% of the...

An earth-shadowing experience planned for eclipse in Crete and Wilber

by Steve | Aug 14, 2017 | Fun Stuff

I have to admit, we’re pretty excited about the total solar eclipse that is about to happen. We follow a lot of travel bloggers, and know that many are making plans to travel great distances so they can experience what it’s like to be plunged into the...

🦃 We just wanted to say thank you for being on 🦃 We just wanted to say thank you for being on this wonderful journey with us! It's Thanksgiving Day in America where we live. For us, this is a day to remember all the people and experiences for which we are thankful. When we started our travel blog, Postcard Jar, back in 2014, we could not have imagined the joy this space would bring us and the people to whom it would introduce us. We are thankful today, more than ever, for people like you who read our blog, chat with us on social media, and have truly become our friend. Whether we've met in person or not, we are grateful for you and cherish our connection. This year, we're spending Thanksgiving in Rochester, Minn., with our daughter, Meghan, and Ann's brother and his family. We've ordered fully prepared Thanksgiving meals from two local restaurants (@bleuduckkitchen and @canadianhonkercatering ) and are planning on a relaxing day here. Our wish for you is a joyous holiday season and the blessing of living and traveling well. @minnesotas_rochester @rochester_local #rochestermn #bleuduckkitchen #postcardjar #thanksgiving #thankful
I was going through photos today and came across t I was going through photos today and came across this one I took from the window of our airplane last week. That small waterway in the middle of the photo is where cruise ships enter and exit Port Everglades. We will be sailing from there in just 48 days aboard the beautiful Celebrity Reflection and we’d love to have you join us! There are still rooms available for our very first Postcard Jar Friend’s Cruise Jan. 8 out of Fort Lauderdale. We will be sailing with friends and readers of our blog to the eastern Caribbean for a seven night cruise. If you would like more information about how you can join us, just send us a DM. We’d love to have you! We’ll be enjoying many events exclusive to our group, and you MUST book through our travel agent to be in on the action. #journeywonderfull #cruising #cruises #celebritycruises #celebrityreflection #porteverglades #fortlauderdale #fortlauderdalebeach

To form your rice, just press warm rice into a small dish and then invert on the plate. What’s for dinner at your place tonight? #noom #noomfood #noomfoodie #healthyliving #dinnerathome
🚢 Dispelling cruise myths #2: People always gai 🚢 Dispelling cruise myths #2: People always gain weight on cruises. Well, this one is flat-out false, and we're living proof. We've been on eight cruises since starting our healthy living journey in early 2019, and have not gained weight on any of them. Cruise lines actually offer an abundance of healthy, low-calorie options, and reasonable portion sizes. Typically, they also have excellent fitness center facilities, complimentary exercise classes, and ample opportunities for movement. We put together a blog post with tips on how to avoid gaining weight on a cruise while still indulging in favorites and enjoying your vacation to the fullest. Link below👇 https://postcardjar.com/tips-to-avoid-gaining-weight-on-a-cruise/ How do you maintain a healthy lifestyle while on vacation?

🚢 Dispelling cruise myths #1: “I'll be bored. 🚢 Dispelling cruise myths #1: “I'll be bored.” We are so excited to be at sea today on our way to the coast of Mexico. We just love sea days because there are simply so many new experiences to try, fun things to do, or ways that we can simply relax. Folks who have never cruised often tell us they are afraid they'd be bored on a ship. Well, we're pretty confident that being bored is almost impossible while at sea. We're hard pressed to remember a day that we could do everything we wanted to do. In fact, we thought about it for about 20 minutes, and put together a list of 50 things to do on a sea day BESIDES eat. (Link in bio @postcardjar) Which of these activities appeals to you most? Let us know in the comments below.
On January 12, 2020, we met Julio and Michele aboa On January 12, 2020, we met Julio and Michele aboard the #celebrityedge when Ann volunteered to take their picture (she always does that). We hit it off immediately and have stayed in touch ever since with phone calls and even Zoom cocktail parties during the pandemic--us from our home in Nebraska and them from their home in New Jersey. Last month, we traveled to New Jersey and had a chance to see them in person for the first time since that cruise. Needless to say, we just kind of picked up where we left off. They went with us to the Huskers-Rutgers game (and put together a fantastic tailgate experience for us). We went out for dinner together and they made sure that we had a great time while we were there. Today, we board the brand-new @celebritycruises Beyond cruise ship for a 5-night cruise. We're so excited that our friends Julio and Michele will be on board, as well. We're really looking forward to this time with our friends and this opportunity to share experiences and make memories together. Have you ever made long-lasting friendships while traveling? Tell us about it in the comments below.
One of the highlight's of this year's @visit_nebra One of the highlight's of this year's @visit_nebraska Tourism Conference in South Sioux City, Neb., was seeing The Many Moccasins Dance Troupe dance. With their permission, we took these photos of their dances and the group. We learned so much about Native American dancing and culture there, as a moderator educated the audience between each dance. Two of the youngest dancers had their hoop dance debut at the conference and received a standing ovation! If you ever have the opportunity to see this incredible dance troupe, JUST GO! #visitnebraska #honestlyne #manymoccasins #southsiouxcity #southsiouxcitynebraska #nativedancers
