Whistler, British Columbia 6.29.2013
Today we went white water rafting and zip lining. We also took the Peak to Peak gondola to the top of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains where we had a snowball fight! On the way down the chair lift, we saw a mother and baby bear playing in the grass.
Whistler, British Columbia 6.28.2013
Whistler was the site of many Vancouver Olympic events. The drive from Vancouver to Whistler on the Sea to Sky Highway was absolutely beautiful – we stopped at the waterfall where Twilight was filmed. The village of Whistler has many restaurants, shopping, bars, and entertainment. We parked the car and walked everywhere.
Seattle, Washington 6.27.2013
We took the monorail north to Seattle Center. The Space Needle is the most famous part of Seattle Center, but there is a beautiful museum dedicated to glass sculptor Dale Chihuly.

Our son gets to choose our family vacations, and he picked Washington State this year. We have friends in Vancouver and I’ve always wanted to go to Whistler, so we’re on a 10 day trip of the Pacific Northwest. We flew into Seattle last night and were very busy today. We started the day eating donuts … Continue reading
November 16, 2012 Cancun, Mexico
I’m on to Beach Palace and LeBlanc Spa Resort today. Beach Palace is in the center of Cancun’s Hotel Zone. It’s close to shopping and restaurants such as Bubba Gump’s and Outback Steakhouse. I’ve been on twelve cruises and I really think this resort has a cruise ship feel, especially the view from the Sky Floor. This … Continue reading

I’m at Sun Palace, a couples-only resort on the southern end of Cancun’s Hotel Zone. While the hotel is one of the closest to the airport, it is furthest from the party center. The water is so blue here and the view north of the hotel zone is gorgeous at night. Anyone is welcome at this resort, … Continue reading

September 17, 2011 Morella, Spain
We were up before the sun today, driving to the MotoGP track in Alcaniz. We visited Morella, an ancient walled city on a hilltop. The old town is surrounded by 1.5 miles of stone walls with 7 huge gates.

We’re driving from Barcelona to the Aragon region of Spain. The views are beautiful – the Mediterranean on the left and rolling hills on the right. We’re staying in an apartment in Cati surrounded by beautiful churches and countryside.
September 15, 2011 Split, Croatia
Today we are in Split, Croatia’s second largest city. The pier is near Old Town and Diocletian’s Palace, a medieval palace that’s really like a walled city. We didn’t take an organized shore excursion offered by the ship here – we just walked around Old Town.
