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
Sun, Sand and Shop in the Eastern Caribbean
It’s truly amazing the Carnival Liberty made it back to shore in Miami with the load of purchases my girlfriends and I had managed to amass while cruising to several islands in the Eastern Caribbean. Fabulous meals, a wonderful spa and the marvelously comfortable “Carnival Comfort” beds made our time on the ship enjoyable and … Continue reading
The Capital Grille in Las Vegas
I don’t know if it was the incredible view, the impeccable service or the melt-in-your-mouth delicious food that made me think The Capital Grille was going to be our best restaurant experience in all of Las Vegas. But whichever one it was, I was correct. Perched on the third floor of the Fashion Show Mall … Continue reading
Rafting the Colorado River
Read the first post about our Grand Canyon adventure HERE. I’m just going to have to be honest here and tell you that the vision conjured up by the title of this post – white water! dangerous rapids! I totally almost drowned when I was thrown from the raft! – should be tempered with … Continue reading
Yes, you can wear that bathing suit but should you?
I tried not to visibly cringe as the rather large woman with two, no make that three rolls of pudge between the top of her bikini and the bottom strolled by the pool of my cruise ship. She was not the first woman I would see on my Caribbean cruise dressed in an inappropriate bathing … Continue reading
Flying a Chopper Over the Grand Canyon
Seriously, you can’t imagine how cool I felt typing “chopper” above. As if I actually had anything to do with piloting the chopper, other than attempting to climb into the pilot’s lap when he veered a little too close to the canyon’s walls. Absolutely, without a doubt, the coolest thing we did the entire time … Continue reading
