A Book-Lover’s Birthday in New York City

March 26, 2023 by Kelley Lindberg 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, a dear friend of mine and I decided the sting of our March birthdays could be made more bearable by celebrating them in New York City. We were right.

Touching Down in a Foreign Land (Flamingo International Airport, Bonaire)

January 29, 2023 by Kelley Lindberg Leave a Comment

Small, Extraordinary, Everyday Moments in Bonaire

November 26, 2022 by Kelley Lindberg Leave a Comment

An island of fossilized coral sits surrounded by Caribbean waters about 50 miles off the Venezuelan coast. This island is home to 1,100 wild donkeys, 15,000-20,000 pink flamingoes, and 30,000 wild goats. And only 20,000 people. What this not-so-typical Caribbean island, Bonaire, lacks in glitzy nightlife and casinos, it makes up for with some of […]
