Going to Alaska should be on almost everyone’s bucket list. There is no doubt you will need some desire, planning and monies to make this trip. We have explored Alaska twice on modest terms. We have put together for friends some of the points and recommendations you may want to think about when going to Alaska–our 49th State. We…
GETTING TO HAWAII Over the years I wrote a summary of what we did and what we liked. Hawaii is our favorite state, and I have been to all 50 states! We have traveled to Hawaii FIVE different times totally for about six months. We have always done the Hawaiian home run, visiting all four major islands. I recommend memorizing…
Escape the Heat at Tutto Gusto’s Wine Cellar When the temperature is over ninety around the showcase, a great place to escape from the heat is the Tutto Gusto’s Wine Cellar. It is located in the Italian pavilion next to its big brother restaurant, Tutto Gusto. This cozy wine bar is extremely dark and cool. My wife had…
If you travel, mistakes and detours are in store. My brother recently booked a hotel in South Carolina. He actually wanted to book the same named hotel in Colorado. It took a few calls to Hotwire to correct the problem. Some people have made critical air reservations. Booking Athens, GA instead of Athens, Greece for example. We have had our fair share of…
We visited Disney Springs recently, our 10th or so visit this year, and wanted to explore a new restaurant. We chose Paradiso 37, located right on the lake of Disney Springs. It advertises a combination of Argentinian and Peruvian foods. We wanted something simple. Nachos with chili con carne fit the bill besides a few libations. We went to the deck…

The Riverwalk is extremely inviting along the famous St. Lucie River. Sunday is a popular day to visit the Riverwalk area. In the morning…
Long overdue, Planet Hollywood is up and running—at least it is open. The famous Planet Hollywood memorabilia can still be seen. My wife loved the music videos. We were there for a late lunch and the noise level was not as pronounced. The “Observatory” seating is unique and there is even seating outside. A separate bar is downstairs called…

Great Ambiance, Not So Good Food We have visited this Mulligan’s several times. Located right on the corner of downtown Jensen Beach, there is a distant view of the Indian River. Designed more like a casual Tiki-hut atmosphere, there are plenty of tables inside and out. The bar area is exceptional. Plenty of people come to Happy Hour to…
A Loyal Following Located on Dixie Highway and East Ocean Avenue, this popular restaurant is easy to get to off of I-95. Close by is a small Dewey Park and that is where we parked behind the restaurant. A lively bar, this restaurant has several sections. Inside and outside patio areas are offered. We sat in a cozy room…
