More from Killarney on to Blarney and Waterford

This morning we started off with a Jaunting Car ride thru Bourne Vincent national park. What a fun tour...Mike was our driver and Sally our horse. Weather was perfect.


Killarney Ireland

Finished up our night in Limerick at a very fun pub called Mickey Martins with a bunch of local and Emma the very fun and friendly bartender. Then we enjoyed a great huge pot of steamed mussels at a very affordable price at a restaurant called The Oyster Bar at the Locke Bar on the Abbey River. 


Galway and Limerick Ireland

Two great days visiting the west coast of Ireland. The weather has been perfect with high 50s in to the 60s and sunny. Yesterday we visited the beautiful Kylemore Abbey...truly amazing...


More on Ireland

More from Ireland. Another great day. We visited a manor house today that houses the famine museum very interesting. Also went to Knock to visit the shrine and tried to get coffee but the town was all closed up because one of the locals had died and the whole town had gone to the funeral...


Navan Ireland

We arrived in Ireland yesterday to a beautiful sunny morning. We picked up our rental car and the first day of driving on the left side of the road with jet-lag was a bit tricky.


San Antonio

I stayed at: Hyatt Regency on the Riverwalk...Great location, 2 blocks to the Alamo. I felt very safe as I was traveling alone. You can get a room with a view of the Alamo. The hotel was very clean. The staff was very friendly. There was a CVS store located 1/2 blocks away for those items you forget, and the prices are very reasonable.


Disney Cruise Line - Disney Dream

What an awesome experience! I took my mom and my 2 kids who are ages 11 & 9 on the Disney Dream! We were one of the first to sail on the beautiful ship. We stayed 1 night at the Contemporary before getting on the ship and I was really impressed with the updates they have done on their rooms. Now they are I guess you could say very contemporary again!


Las Vegas Jan 2011

Let me start with, I haven't been to Las Vegas since 2002 - so there's been a whole lot of shakin goin on in the real estate and ownership of the resorts since then. One needs a scorecard to keep track of who owns what. That said, I was looking at resorts from the perspective of what people would find enticing (as well as personal preference)...


Cancun Mexico - Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar

The resort is very handicapped accessible, with 2 platforms on the beach for wheelchairs. You can drink all of the water at the resort besides from the sink or bath tub. Each room has a mini fridge stocked every other day with bottled water, beer and soda.
