Having a small little Kitchen in the room is nice, we can do breakfast and not go find somewhere to drop some more money on it. Woke up and had some bowls of cereal and I was able to work on a few things while the wife was still sleeping. […]
My wife wanted to see some shows while we were here in Vegas and one of them was Terry Fator. Who is a ventriloquist, impressionist and he can use up to 15 different puppets in the show. He won America’s got talent in season two, that was 11 years ago. […]
Left the house about 11 AM and headed to Las Vegas, sin city as people call it. We stopped in Cedar City, Utah for a quick lunch. We ate at Hermies Drive-in, something different (More on Food post). This trip we decided to try to eat at different places, you […]
You are traveling and crap you forgot your charging cable, now you have to go out and buy another one. Crap, now I have to find a store that carries the darn cable. If my count is right, that is 6 new ones this year. I just started to leave them […]
You are on a trip and you have over-packed because you waited until the last min. Once you are at your destination you realized you need a new bag. What do you do? Well, you go out and buy a new bag correct. Most people will just not worry about […]
I thought I would try some packing cubes to see if they really do help out and provide you with more room. I got these packing cubes from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017XCZY58/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 **Not an affiliate link (I Really need to get one) I used these bags for my most recent trip to […]
Is this really coming to an end? I guess so the last few hours of the cruise are coming to a close. We got into bed around 2 AM, we had a lot of packing to do. We set five bags, yes FIVE of them, out and we still had […]

Glacier Bay National Park in between Skagway and Ketchikan, we are doing some scenic cruising in Glacier Bay. We started this journey at about 6 AM. So I skipped the international Cafe this morning and made my way to sit here and look at the view. We paid for this cabin for the use […]
Today was a stop in Skagway, Alaska, the second stop on our 7-day cruise. It is a cold and somewhat rainy day here. The boys had a kayaking trip planned but with one of them breaking their foot they aren’t able to go. Tegan, the older one, still went with […]

When I started traveling with Justin, I considered doing it as a traditional website. I considered this rather than a blog. So, I thought about having pages. Hence, the menus are across the top of the page. I would create pages for my trips and then put them all under […]
Right now, the industry standards for a carry-on bag are 22” x 14” x 9”. Which has been the standard for a while now I thought that was correct. That what it was a couple of years ago when I flew Seattle to go a 7-day Alaskan cruise since that […]
