Florida vs California. What I miss and what I don't.. Top Story - October 2023.
I've lived in Florida for nearly twenty years, and it was starting to feel like I'd never leave. However, that changed earlier this year, and I now find myself on the opposite coast of the USA.

Rolling Along Down the Highway
Alaska When in Alaska on Ada Island stop by to see the Adak National Forest. Sure it only has a grove of 33 pines that have survived the Alaskan climate but there is a nice sign that says “You are now entering and leaving the Adak National Forest as you drive by. You might want to stop and take a picture. It seemed like a good idea when there was only one tree and others could be planted. During WW II US Army General Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr. decided it would be a good idea to start a tree-planting program. The program was meant to boost the morale of the soldiers who were stationed at this remote Alaskan outpost. Unfortunately, the planted trees could not thrive in the harsh climate but a grove of 33 trees finally survived.

Honest Thoughts on Norwegian Cruise Lines
We all have nightmare travel stories, and usually, we think back on them after a while and reflect with a good laugh and shudder at the thought of the past trauma. I want to look back from a few years ago about a trip I took and hope to share some insights about what to do and what not to do when booking a cruise vacation for you or your family and maybe you can avoid some of the disastrous headaches that would have you feeling as if you never went on a vacation at all. I have traveled extensively throughout my life and typically planned everything myself. I thought that perhaps it would be a nice change if someone else did most of the planning for a change, and I left most of it up to someone else, and all I would have to do was show up.
