And Now the Negative Side of the Disney Wonder One Bedroom Concierge Suite
The first inkling that our marvelous suite on the Disney Wonder was not going to be all that was when we set sail. Prior to that, we had milled around our stateroom, relishing the comfortable furnishings, the fabulous two bathrooms, the two flat-screen TVs, and the great view from our verandah. Then came the requisite … Continue reading
First Impressions of Disney Wonder: One Bedroom Concierge Suite
After fabulous, fabulous Vegas, we headed out on a Disney cruise of the Pacific Northwest. We were mostly thrilled to be returning to San Francisco, one of our favorite places, but we also love that coast and were very interested to visit Vancouver for the first time. This same cruise from LA to Vancouver is … Continue reading
The Quite Amazing Viva Elvis by Cirque du Soleil Show
We both leaned forward instinctively, horrified to think the performers in bright super hero costumes were falling to the stage, certain to be hurt, maybe even killed. Then they bounced into the air and landed agilely right back where they has started, only to do it again and again, landing back on the platform and … Continue reading
Pony Up and Find the Perfect Hairstyle
The other night, my husband came home and declared gently (he is a wise man) that it might be nice to see a hairstyle other than a pony tail on my head. Instead of getting annoyed, I sagely nodded my (pony tailed) head and figured I was lucky he was not mentioning the ubiquitous sleeping … Continue reading
The Engineering Marvel That is the Hoover Dam:Part Two
You know how some people are just incompetent at putting things together? That they can look at any of a number of tools and have absolutely no idea what they are or how to use them? That they might just possibly put together a high chair for their grandchild, feel totally smug, and then look … Continue reading
La cuisine est délicieuse à La Crêperie
I seriously hope you are impressed by the fact that the title of this post is in French, even though I might possibly have had to use Babylon to get the translation. OK. I did. However, I still do retain a modicum of the French I took in high school and college; enough that someone … Continue reading
A Day in Danville, Kentucky
Once a week, I hop in my car and make the 45-minute drive to Danville to visit my mom. Since I live on the south side of town, it’s easiest for me to just get on the Bluegrass, get off at the Harrodsburg exit, take the bypass around Harrodsburg and end up just outside Danville. … Continue reading
The Engineering Marvel That is the Hoover Dam:Part One
We looked up at the huge dam towering above us, quite magnificent against the bright blue sky, and simply marveled at it. We had just seen one of the most incredible natural feats of nature, the Grand Canyon, by helicopter, from a raft,and from the Skywalk and, even though this dam paled in comparison to … Continue reading
In Which I was Proved Wrong about the Carnival Liberty
I just returned from a Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Liberty where I spent the week being continuously amazed by Carnival. My expectations for this cruise were low as I considered Carnival a party cruise line with so-so service and average food. I was not overly concerned as I was cruising with a group of … Continue reading
The Grand Canyon Skywalk
Read the first post about our Grand Canyon adventure HERE and the second one HERE, both with Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters. Still reeling from the incredible experience of seeing the Grand Canyon from the air in a helicopter and from the Colorado River in a raft, we speedily hopped up to the top of the … Continue reading
