Christmas Breeze: Galveston Day One

on
January 27, 2025

I decided to stop in Webster on my way down to Galveston. I normally stay in Webster and this taco stand is always crowded when I drive by so I’m finally going to give it a try. 

There’s an order window on the left and a pickup window on the…

Galveston Beach Airbnb

on
January 24, 2025

I was looking for an Airbnb close to the beach (and all of the beach bars). I specifically wanted one close to The Spot which has NFL Sunday ticket.  I ended up finding a small place at 3328 Avenue S which is one block away from The Spot.

Christmas Breeze: Planning

on
January 20, 2025

Booking
I didn’t want to book this particular cruise. But since I filled up my schedule with Norwegian cruises and I wanted to get diamond status on Carnival in the spring, I needed this cruise to be at least a 4-day Carnival cruise.
My next concern was the NFL schedule. Last…

Good morning! I think I left my coffee cup in the streetcar yesterday. I spent some extra time in the room this morning finishing my 4-5 cups of coffee. When I was leaving The Fall Guy was about to come on. I saw that in the theater in April.

Bear and Wildlife Exploration in Ketchikan

on
January 6, 2025

I booked this tour through Norwegian. I paid $109 after their $50 discount. Last year I did the Neets Bay Bear Encounter in Ketchikan. I chose that one over this one because my research said that was the best place to see bears on this cruise.
This time I’m trying…

Good morning! We are still on our way to Skagway. I was supposed to have three tours today but my salmon bake was moved to the same time as my scenic drive so I canceled it. We’ll be doing the street car tour in the morning and the scenic…
