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…
There is something about watching the sea as it goes by, the zephyr that hits your face and the ambiance about being on a voyage. This trip was special as we were going to explore Ocho Rios for the first time. Our vessel of convenience was the Carnival Conquest, nearly 1000 foot ship with over 3000 patrons and over…
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.

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…
“Magic where mountains meet Sea,” is what the flyer said advertising the small New Zealand coastal town of Kaikoura. This small town is located about fifty-five miles north of the South Island’s capital of Christchurch. You may recall that Christchurch was hit by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake back in 2011 creating billions of dollars of damage. We had visited this…

A Few Tips about the Lucerne Ferries The kiosks are located opposite the train station along the waterfront. We were able to travel free with our Swiss Travel Pass.
