On February 16, 2014, we took our 9th cruise, which sailed from San Juan, Puerto Rico. We had a couple of days to explore San Juan and the nearby El Yunque rainforest. I’ll be writing more about both. This post, however, is dedicated to San Juan’s beautiful forts: Castillo SanContinue Reading

The other morning I woke up super early and could not fall back to sleep. I flipped on the TV and came across a program on Science Channel called “Humanzees.” I didn’t know it was called that when I flipped to it, though. I just immediately quit flipping when IContinue Reading

When I used to go with coworkers to George & Dragon in Phoenix after work on Friday nights I never thought twice about using the bathroom. (Unless it was a particularly busy night and there’d be a line.) Until I stopped one of the waitresses and complimented her on herContinue Reading

And both dealt with the same subject matter: the Yeti, or Abominable Snowman. I’ll get to them inContinue Reading

Recently I wrote about a Haunt Jaunt my husband and I made to Arrington Vineyards. It wasn’t a true Haunt Jaunt, though. As far as I know it’s not haunted. But it did get me wondering about haunted wineries. So I did a search and this is what I cameContinue Reading
