A Few Tips about this Free Museum This Museum is easy to find as it is on “Central Avenue” in the heart of Los Alamos. There are a number of elaborate colorful displays with the development of the atomic bomb and energy. Some of these displays would be difficult for kids to understand. You could spend a day here and…
Don’t let the name scare you off! I was surprised my wife wanted to visit this museum with me. It is a small museum, but interesting nonetheless. Located right in Old Town Albuquerque, it is easy to find. There are, indeed, a number of rattlesnakes to view. There is one albino rattlesnake, but the original “Marilyn” has since died.…
One of the Most Picturesque Bays in the World When you come to Hanalei, you have to cross a one lane bridge. There is “local courtesy” that states that five to seven cars may cross at a time. We have seen as many as ten cars travel across. “Shaka” rules, though, and your turn will come as you “hang…
A Few Tips about Waikiki Beach Even though it may look crowded, there is a place for you along this beach. This is one of the most iconic areas of Hawaii and the United States, and you have the right to be a part of it. Most of the people just walk along the beach sidewalk admiring Duke Kahanamoku’s…
A Few Tips about Misiones The complex is on a cape a good three miles to downtown. The vistas from many of the condos are quite incredible.

A friend of mine, Dr. Tony Beonde and I went through Santa Fe in 1984, but all I remember was seeing “adobe style buildings.” This time we were going to explore for…
Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta—44th Annual show, Oct 2015 Many people say going to this Fiesta would be on “their bucket list,” we made it happen. Booking at least six months in advance, we were able to snag cheap Southwest tickets out of Orlando. There is no question that Southwest Airlines is one of the best airlines in the United States with…
Once again we enjoyed our times at our annual EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival. We went three times to collect our “wine glasses” for annual pass holders commemorating the 20th annual Festival. We have been coming to this event for at least ten of those years. We came on Sunday, September 27, on the third day of the opening.…
Kudos to the Jack Harter Team From the moment we walked into the hut to the time we left the van, we were given a first class tour. This is an experience you will never forget. Our daughter, Pam, picked this helicopter out as she wanted “the open door.”The check in is close by the airport. A van takes you to the…
Both visits to Normandy in 2006 with students, and in 2008 with Kathie, the weather was superb unlike it was on June 6th, 1944.

Arromanches in 1944 became a British beach head,…
