Epcot’s annual International Flower and Garden Festival is now open. With the advent of spring, at least here in Florida, this show brings welcomed beauty and pleasure to the senses. Not as big as Epcot’s autumn International Food and Wine Festival, there is still plenty to see and enjoy. On a sunny day, there is unsurpassed beauty heightening the senses…
In the Wynn Casino by the theater in Las Vegas, there lies or stands Jeff Koons famous high chromium stainless steel sculpture, Tulips. The transparent color coating transforms ordinary steel into a beautiful multicolored display. It is quite interesting and stunning to say the least. Two guards stand by this statue 24/7. One of the guards told me that…
There is always a chance that you may see someone famous on a plane, walking in a city or just plane traveling. In our last trip to Chicago, there was a famous “wrestler” on board. He was talking to a woman next to him and we could hear. I couldn’t tell you who he was, but the guy was huge.…

It is a pleasant area that brings back good memories and some bad, where you can lay back and possibly take a nap, swim usually in blue waters and feel a zephyr across your face. I like the quote about leaving your foot…
Walking through the Luxemburg Gardens was just beautiful and going to a real French market is an experience. We can still smell the fresh strawberries. Our highlight was to attend the ‘Le Tour de France’ on our last full day in Paris. We were right along a street near the Concorde for two and half hours waiting. Luckily, we picked the shady…
