Re-treat yourself to a fresh start with Dreevay Tours



I spent an awesome two days last weekend with a group of fabulous women. We were on a retreat @ Carmel Retreat Center in North Georgia.




 A retreat is both an experience and a place. It’s a time to recharge, and become re-energized. Our problems do not magically disappear while we are away on retreat, but this time away seems to somehow help us to deal a little better with these problems.



I have been going on retreats all my adult life, and one of my favorite retreat locations is the Abbey at Mount Saint Benedict, in Trinidad. It is situated at the top of a mountain in the North West of the island.


The route to the Monastery is up a long and winding road, but once you get to the top, the view is worth the drive. If you are not up to driving, a shuttle service is available.


 Most people do a visit for one day, or maybe even half a day.  In addition to the church, there is a guest house, a gift shop and a small cafeteria. When I do visit, I like to pack a picnic basket.
Our winter trip to Trinidad includes a visit to the Monastery. Hope to see you there!

Getting ready for another beautiful weekend in my neck of the woods. It’s time again to hit the outdoors. My last visit to Helen Ga was so good, I am seriously considering a visit again this coming Sunday. Saturday would be great as well, though there is the possibility of rain. Sunday, on the other hand, looks great!  Harbersham Winery in Helen GA One of my favorite stops in  a trip to North Georgia is the Habersham Winery. I  try to limit my wine tasting, whenever I am the designated driver. My favorite wine is the White Muscadine. There are also lots of other interesting things to purchase @ the Winery, and  after all that shopping, an impromptu picnic in the gazebo can be very relaxing. The Island woman  in me is always drawn to  water, but I decide against go tubing , as the water was a bit cold. I could not help wishing that I was at one of the beautiful beaches in Trinidad and Tobago. Maracas Bay There are so many to choose from, but

The Beauty of Autumn with Dreevay Tours

Fall in my neighborhood I truly love the Fall. The weather is perfect, and with it’s kaleidoscope of colors the atmosphere feels so mellow. My very first visit to Georgia was back in the Fall of 1989. The pilot’s approach in Atlanta’s  airport took us over Stone Mountain Park. My senses were in overload. I had never seen anything that beautiful before. Each year I look forward to this lovely season. Fall in my back yard A couple weeks ago, I was in Europe, and was blessed to experience this glorious season outside of the United States. Nature does not discriminate.  She blesses us all with her gifts. Fall @ Buckingham Palace in London, England  The Gardens of the Champ Elysees Avenue in Paris, France. Fall in Paris, France. I am reminded of the words of a song I learnt as a child,   ‘My country’s skies are bluer than the oceans,   And sunlight beams on Flamboyant and Pine. But other lands have sunlight too, and oceans And skies are s
