Okay, we are cynical.
As noted in a previous blog, we visited City Center (in it’s sorta’ finished state).
It was an interesting afternoon. Rather than heap opinions (good or bad) on Aria and City Center as a whole without our total immersion, we plan to visit and stay at the Aria for 2 days and [...]

Currently the hero of my life is taking care of the hero of my lifetime! Conrad Hilton and his staff around the world have been taking mighty good care of my husband Richard.
I don’t know how the Hilton Hotel employees and their service “system” manage to do it so well, but they have customer service [...]

The south rim of the Grand Canyon holds it’s magic over us. We lived and worked on the rim for 2 years, and for the most part, we truly enjoyed the experience. Winter was always an adventure…drinking hot shots at the Maswick Lodge served by our bartender friend Bob Mirandi. …burying our truck in the [...]

Lie to Me – I don’t know much about this show, where it originated, who writes the thing, who the actors are, or what the media hype is. What I do know is that since the moment I downloaded the first episode of the new show onto my I-Pod, I was immediately transfixed and entertained.

Last weekend we took four days off to visit and rest at Death Valley. We were camping. If you want to say that taking our Class A motorhome with washer/dryer, two slideouts, and all that jazz is really “camping.”
We bypassed Furnace Creek Campground and Stovepipe Wells…we didn’t need no stinkin’ hookups! Off we went to [...]

Three years ago we had the fortune to visit Monteray Bay for the Monteray Bay Jazz Festival. It was a wonderful affair – we were so thrilled to see some of the greats in music – Dave Brubeck along with many, many other terrific musicians.
While there we drove the coast highway, enjoying the ocean views and [...]

Last November we had a wonderful trip to Fiji. We dived almost every single day…some of the most breathtaking scuba dives we have experienced. But, we have to admit that the land was as gorgeous, knock-out, beautiful as under the sea. Here are a few photos to share.
We stayed at private villa on an unnamed island [...]
