24 Hrs Traveling Through Time Like Captain America
How would I spend a perfect 24 hours? There's no question about it, at least not in my mind. Where do tortured souls go when they consider their perfect 24 hours? They want to travel to a place outside of time and space. A place that exists only in the happier places inside their minds.

The 13-Day Dream That Wasn't
The booking window for National Day airfares opened ten days earlier than usual. August hadn’t even ended, yet over 60 percent of the chartered cars for the Xinjiang loop had already been locked in, and the wooden cabins in Kanas were tagged “sold out for National Day.” Travel platforms recorded a 61 percent year‑on‑year surge in search traffic—the media called it “the craze for combining holidays.”

And Then Silence
Please sit back in relative comfort on the sofa, your hand in my hand, as I start Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins. Bright and uplifting, the piano serenades the start of the day.

My Day, My Way. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Want to spend a day with me? Let’s see what my perfect twenty-four hours look like. I’m retired, so I’ll stay in bed until I feel like getting up. When I wake up, I will doze for a bit before waking again. Then I’ll lie there a while, letting random thoughts float through my mind. After reciting what day it is, I'll decide the order of my perfect day. I won’t make myself get up early and get busy. I will move slowly and deliberately, breathing deeply. When I get out of bed, I must first push up the blackout shades; then the glorious morning greets me through the window.

Magical Memories
There's something so special about children. They live in a world filled with magic. They notice things that adults often look over. Sometimes, it's fun to get that world of magic back.

Someplace Else. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Our 24 Hours begins the night before- We arrive late, the sun has set, the dog is panting, he knows the winding road and what it leads to- tires crunching on the rocky drive-way, and two hearts in the warm-lit window of the A frame at the base of the lake. They smile and wave and they come to meet us.

Arizona - Hot for More than Just Temperature
Most people who don't know otherwise, think of Arizona as perpetually hot. Okay, yes, the bottom half of the state can be oppressive, especially in the summer, but winter is pleasant, and the farther north you go, the cooler it is, in general. Flagstaff has some good skiing at Snow Bowl.

A Perfect 24 Hours
Florida is a popular destination for many. For me, it's required travel to see my two grown kids who live there, and my two grandchildren. About a month ago, I had the privilege of going to Disney World with my oldest daughter, her husband and my two grandchildren for a birthday celebration. My grandson wanted to go to Disney for his 5th birthday, and wanted his Nana to come along.

I am about to Sail the Shortest Itinerary on the World’s Biggest Boat
Basically this is a three day cruise to Royal Caribbean’s private island and back, with one day at sea thrown in. That is fine with me. I am simply enraptured by the sheer size of this vessel and plan on walking around (without getting lost) and taking in the magnitude of it all.

Should You Eat Every Meal in the Suite-Only Restaurant on a Cruise Ship?
My husband and I are set to sail on Legend of the Seas. We are only cruising for three nights. And this is our first time staying in a suite with a dedicated restaurant only for suite guests.

Hotel Check-In and Check-Out Etiquette:
Checking into a hotel is usually pretty straightforward. You arrive, give your name, get your room key, drop your luggage, and begin your trip.
