« Previous EntriesIn Gustav’s Path
Sunday, August 31st, 2008I just want to send a very public best wishes and “we’re thinking of you” to all our readers who live in or around Hurricane Gustav’s projected path. That includes CajunMama, who makes her home in Louisiana.
I keep checking Weather.com and reading reports on MSN.com and I just feel so helpless. My feelings can’t even [...]

Air Travel Gets Worse - The Top 9 Stingiest Airlines
Thursday, August 28th, 2008It has probably happened to all of us. We dutifully get to the airport 2 hours early, take off our shoes to pass through security, and watch as the TSA guy throws out our forgotten full-size tube of toothpaste. Watch out, that thing could blow up any minute!
The individual airline companies have little - or [...]

The first piece we saw was as we were driving down Pena Boulevard leaving DIA - a giant blue mustang with fiery red eyes. Although, [...]

A wise family travel blogger I know, Sheila of BootsNAll’s Family Travel Logue, mentioned that I should try the Flip Ultra Video. She claimed it was so easy and simple [...]
Odd Roadside Attractions
Monday, August 25th, 2008Road trips can be a fun time to reconnect with the family, play cheesy road games, or even make random stops along the way. When I hit the road in RedBugg, I always like to seek out the bizarre and kooky roadside attractions that can still be found along America’s highways and byways.
One site I [...]
Kauai Captured
Sunday, August 24th, 2008If I had only one item to bring with me on a trip, it would be my camera (besides clothes of course, I obviously don’t care to get arrested). Days, months, years later I can easily sit for hours flipping though photo books filled with shots from my trips, adventures and fabulous memories. Today I [...]
Celebration, Florida: Freaky Fake Town or Slice of Paradise?
Friday, August 22nd, 2008Are any of our readers familiar with Celebration, Florida? This is the Disney-planned community in Osceola County, Florida (2.5 miles from Walt Disney World Resort). About 3,500 people live in the town that’s modeled after a “southern American village from the 1930s.”
I visited Celebration a couple years ago with some friends who live in Orlando. [...]
