On the Road With

A Chilly Magic Kingdom

The Harris family of Northville headed to Florida over the Christmas break, but it happened to be one of the coldest Christmas days in many years, according to Jenn Harris, who traveled to the Magic Kingdom with husband Tim and children Penni, Parker and Locke.

“We still had a blast and didn’t notice the cooler temperatures. We figured it was better than the zero degree days we were having here in Michigan,” she said. “We actually extended our trip so we could catch some of the 80 degree weather, and ended up staying for 10 days on the property, hitting all the parks two times.”

The Emerald Isle

Brothers Ronan and Vincent Egan, along with Ciara Lopus -all of Northville -- took along The ‘Ville during their recent visit to Ireland. The boys’ father, Padraig Egan, who took this photo, is a native of the Emerald Isle, and they all traveled there for a family wedding. On the trip, they were able to do some sight-seeing, including to Lough Talt, a lake in the Ox Mountains of south County Sligo, where they are pictured.

Biking the Florida Keys

Northville’s Mike and Karol Ostrowski recently traveled to the Sunshine State, where they biked the entire route of the Florida Keys, from Key Largo to Key West. The biked a total of 175 miles during the week they were there. “We visited beaches, state parks and enjoyed the sights and fantastic weather,” Mike said. Here they are, pictured with their Northville Tour de Ville jerseys, on Pigeon Key with the new and old Seven Mile Bridges in the background.

Caribbean. Chris said they had to do something else, because Hurricane Ian destroyed their timeshare on Ft. Myers Beach, Florida. “The ‘Ville went everywhere with us until we found the best beach of all on Half Moon Cay, an uninhabited private island owned by Holland (where they are pictured),” she said.

An Enchanting Trip

In January, Diane Holmes and Terry Cwik took their ninth cruise together, but their first since 2018. This time, it was a 10-day cruise to the southern Caribbean on the Enchanted Princess. They enjoyed stops in Antigua, Barbados, Martinique, St. Kitts, and St. Thomas. Their favorite island was St. Kitts. However, their favorite attraction was Harrison’s Cave on Barbados, where they took a trolley ride down and through the cave.
