You will not see a sign to his grave site. There is a sign on the main road that reads “PALAPALA HO’OMAU Congregational Church.” Turn left here! Since our last visit in 2012, the road to the cemetery has been re-paved! The ruts and pot-holes are no more. Also, the ranch on the right is for sale. It was a…
A slice of Americana, well worth a visit It would be rare to find a museum so close to the ocean, but the new refurbished Elliot Museum is a jewel for South Florida, the Treasure Coast and Martin County. It is a slice of Americana and a treat to see. The museum is attributed to the late 19th and early…
Where the locals eat Not on the main street of Duval, this place is easy to miss, but hard to forget. After visiting Key West many times, a local told us about El Siboney. A unique Cuban restaurant exists on 900 Catherine Street, a few blocks east of south Duval Street. El Siboney is tucked into a neighborhood. It is…
Fun Time My friend recommended Tigertail Airboat Tours as it was his third time with the company. We had just visited “Shark Valley” via the National Park Service which is a few miles west of Tigertail Airboat Tours. We did try to call for a reservation at 305-439-2745, but there was no response.

An awesome activity not far from Orlando Biking, walking and roller-blading are common activities on this famous trail once used as a railway line. It is not very far from Orlando.

Best Bargain on Hotel Plaza Drive Having stayed here numerous times we have come to enjoy this pleasant resort. The staff is warm and welcoming. The foyer area is large and inviting. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We never had a back-ach with these beds. We always like the small refrigerator in the room. The resort is only an 11…
For $125 a ticket, we decided to fly to Cabo San Lucas for our final eight days. We took Alaska Airlines from San Diego. We had comfortable leather seats with plenty of leg room. We were very impressed with Alaska Air. We left San Diego cloudy; due to the low pressure from tropical storm Blanca. Unlike Hurricane Odile that hit Cabo last September,…
Our flight to San Diego would have been routine other than for the crying and at times, screaming baby behind us. Not only was this child crying, but for over five hours, he/she was kicking our seats. Mom was helpless, or maybe useless. How can you bring a young child aboard without any games or entertainment? We didn’t say anything preventing a…
