We pulled into the port area where we all hopped out of the cab and paid the driver. We were immediately surrounded by security asking us to get back in the cab, we needed to drive further. We pulled up

As we sat on the bench we noticed some workers removing some fake trees with yellow plastic leaves and little flowers with lights in them We think they were probably Christmas decorations for the entrance

As we headed into the Old CIty we decided to split from Aiofe and Lee and meet back in 2 hours to share a cab back to the ship. We walked through a few small shops full of junk and decided that shopping

Are these songs making a comeback? It is getting to the point where I hear them every day in the car - and I don't drive that often!!! The original Bruce Hornsby version - a classic: The 2Pac

We didn't arrive in Cartageña, Colombia until noon so we spent the morning checking email and trying to find something on the internet that would tell us what we should do in Cartageña. The internet

We pulled into Aruba around 7:00 am and were looking forward to getting to the beach early. The only question was which beach. There are three main beaches in Aruba that most cruisers visit. Palm Beach,

We woke up at 5:30 am to finish packing and get ready for our four hour drive to Miami where our ship was waiting. Goblin has little interest in moving at all at 5:xx am and I am the same way. We both

I first visited a Nordstrom Rack (the outlet store for Nordstrom) in Los Angeles in 2006. I was told it would be heaven for a shoe lover like me. I wasn't exactly impressed - the store was a mess and

Almost a year ago we booked a cruise on the Jewel of the Seas. Teresa, our cruise agent, sent us a list of cruises and deals she had found and out of the few that she told us about we chose this one because

I hope you enjoyed reading about our summer road trip. We had a great time on the trip as well as putting together all of the posts for the blog. I am currently working on posts from our recent South America/Caribbean

On our way out of Jacksonville we stopped at a yogurt shop and Duke and Goblin got their own plain yogurt. They dug in and would only stop when the brain freeze set in. You could see the pain in their

We caught I-75 in Albany and headed South, in all of the years I can remember driving this stretch of highway I can't remember a single time that it wasn't under construction. Either the State of Georgia
