Shaken Not Stirred
When as a young adult I enjoyed the night spots in New York City the places that I favored knew how I wanted my Martini served. It had to be ice cold, in a Martini glass, straight up, and the glass filled with green olives stuffed with pimentos. It was like having a Martini with a marinated olive salad. World-famous super spy from filmdom Bond, James Bond, Agent 007 wanted his shaken not stirred. However, if you prefer your Martini your way, you can choose among all different kinds and make one your signature cocktail. Cheers!

Hometown New York City Brooklyn
For people living in small to mid-size hometowns, it is easy to write about their towns. However, for someone like me who was born and raised in New York City, it is rather difficult. Therefore I will look upon the borough of Brooklyn as my small town away from the teeming streets of Manhattan and the other boroughs. If you know about Brooklyn and find a neighborhood missing it is just that I wrote about all the ones I knew and where I have been. I was born in a very quiet corner of Brooklyn called Bay Ridge so I began my tour there.

Vancouver on Burrard Peninsula
Vancouver is a major city in western Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. Stanley Park is adjacent to Downtown Vancouver and is a peninsula with huge trees. The green space is encircled by a paved seawall path which is a great place for strolling or biking. There are lovely blooming cherry trees in the spring and rhododendrons. In the summer people enjoy the heated outdoor pool right by the edge of the ocean.

Jacksonville the River City
“Jax” as the locals call the city is the place where the South meets the North. Jacksonville is rich in historical and cultural heritage. It is a river city around the St. Johns River which runs through the city. As surprising as it might seem Jacksonville was the original Hollywood in the early 1900s. It was the motion picture capital of the world before Los Angeles, California took over and everything and everyone concerned with the film industry moved west.

Desert Caravan
I had arrived in Cairo, Egypt a week ago. Being a retired school teacher and mostly a loner I was starting my further life by working on my bucket list. I discovered that Cairo was a city in a lovely location on the Nile River. Being a fan of author Agatha Christie and her novels I already knew something about this river. I was excited about the possibility of taking a tour boat on the river but first, the most important thing to me was to sign up with a caravan heading to Giza and its iconic pyramids and especially the Great Sphinx.
