West Inn and Suites in Carlsbad, California
It was the cold milk and cookies at bedtime that did it. That was what made us realize we should have stayed at the West Inn and Suites when we were in Carlsbad. Let me back up. We don’t normally write reviews for hotels where we have not actually stayed. But we made an exception … Continue reading

One of the attractions we visited when we were in Carlsbad, California recently was the Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park.

Seeing Coastal California By Train – The Coaster
We are huge fans of train travel. Well. That’s not technically correct since we really haven’t traveled by train all that often. In point of fact. Never. We did take one completely awesome train trip when we were in Arizona but we have never actually travelled by train where you sleep on the train, eat … Continue reading

Hilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Resort and Spa
That. That right up there may have been one of the best things about our stay at the Hilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Resort and Spa. Those are shrimp and lobster tacos. And they were just as good as they look. We had them one night out on the patio of Chandler’s, the restaurant at the hotel. When we … Continue reading

Girlfriend Getaway to Asheville, North Carolina
We never made a plan to visit this fascinating little town nestled between the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina; it just happened to be halfway between Lexington, Kentucky and Savannah, Georgia where we were headed. But when I began to do research about the area and realized belatedly that the … Continue reading

Photo Friday: Un-Cruise Adventures Web Site
When we were on our yacht cruise in British Columbia, enjoying the incredible scenery, scarfing down delicious food, and seeing amazing animals, we were actually working hard. As difficult as it is to believe, we work hard for all the amazing travel opportunities we are given. I spend an exorbitant amount of time writing once we … Continue reading

Why Small Ship Cruising is Better
Why in the world would anyone give up the glamour and glitz of those huge, ocean-going cruise liners with dozens of restaurants, sprawling suites and glamorous ports of call to cruise on much smaller ships? We have cruised all over the world on those monstrous vessels, but just recently cruised on three much smaller ships … Continue reading
