Key West Trip Report - November 24 - December 1, 2014

I always want to return to Key West but it's so inconvenient for me living on the Pacific Wet Coast, and not to mention expensive!  I've had "Keys Disease" since my first visit when I was twenty-one.  It then took me till I was forty-five to return next though it wasn't for lack of trying.  Key West often crosses my mind and makes me long to return to the first place that captured my heart.  I have never forgotten the first sunset I saw there.  Sigh...

50th Birthday - Eastern Caribbean Cruise Trip Report - November. 16 - 23, 2014

Is your 50th Birthday a big deal?  I suppose it should be, but it really wasn't for me.  I think birthdays stopped being important to me when I reached 21.  I remember my dad told me then that it seems like you wait your whole life till you turn 21 and then after that the years FLY by, faster and faster.  Very true.  The thought of being 50 makes me feel OLD!  Not in a bad way, but old nonetheless...I very much believe that "youth is beauty" and "youth is wasted on the young".  It certainly was, in my case.

Las Vegas Trip Report - May 25 - 30, 2014

My BFF ended up not being able to go on this planned trip so I decided to go solo.  I was really, really looking forward to going alone.  Vegas is the one place I enjoy being by myself not having to do anything  I don't want to.  I like not having to worry about anyone else but ME, ME, ME...it doesn't happen that often in my everyday life as I worry about everything but me, round the clock it seems...

Everyone who knows me well, knows how much I LOVE Disneyland.  It TRULY strikes happiness in my heart and soul. I totally agree with it being called "The Happiest Place on Earth"...

Las Vegas Trip Report - December. 30 - January 6, 2014

Last November, a year ago, my son and I sat at Mon Ami Gabi staring out at the Bellagio on the Strip.  It was the last night of our trip that had him at a gaming convention and I was just a roommate doing the solo thing. We had both wrapped up our trip and were talking about spending Christmas in Vegas together this year.
