Travel & Reviews is all about giving you my take on places, services and products that I run across. Hopefully, they will help you, or at least, entertain.
I just purchased the DVDs for the 2020 remake of Stephen King’s The Stand. And of course, binge-watched it. The Stand is one of my favorite all-time books and the 1994 series, one of my favorites. That said: Everything here is MY OPINION. Other’s may feel differently, and if they pay for web hosting, build …
Well, really, that’s just all. The Metheneys spent a couple of weeks in Tucson, Arizona and while I wouldn’t want to live here, it’s a fun place to visit. We met with Cheryl & Marshall Brown, (Melinda’s known Cheryl since about the 3rd grade!) and went with them down to the historical town of Tombstone. …
That was the name of the seminar at the Tucson Festival of Books in Tucson, AZ, Saturday, March 12th. I got to listen to, question, meet, and get a book signed by Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries. Craig is without doubt my favorite author. I have read all the Longmire books, watched …
Book Review Scourge by Gail Z. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars Imagine the TV show ‘Supernatural’ mated with ‘The Game of Thrones’. Don’t work too hard at it. Just read Scourge by Gail Z. Martin. It feels medieval, but could be some far-off, dystopian future. And frankly, it doesn’t matter to me which …
This weekend the boys of the Thornhill MC (“Bad to the Bone when our wives let us be”) went on a little road trip on our bikes and had a great time. I want ed to make sure we mentioned The Lodge at Telico. In Telico Plains, TN (which is at the end of the …
What happens when corporate greed becomes more important than customer service? You get a total lack of common sense and employees saying “I vas only following orders.” Holy Nuremberg, Batman! We made reservations online with an airline that almost monopolizes Charlotte’s airways (I will call them U.S.Aryans). The web site screwed up the dates and when …
The Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas is one of the most complete, beautiful and imaginative resorts ever. Everyone should go at least once. But it helps if someone else is picking up the tab, because it is also one of the most expensive I have ever been to. I would like to …
The Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas is one of the most beautiful themed resorts I have ever seen. I won’t ever go back. While the resort offers all you can imagine, the prices, hidden charges and underlying greed of the resort makes it almost painful to enjoy yourself. After 4 days, everyone in our …
The Best Poker Room in the Caribbean, It is also the only island to spread a Pot Limit Omaha game, 6 tables of NL Hold Em. Full tables unlike St. Martin. Longer hours than anywhere else in the islands. If you are looking for an island to play poker, I heavily recommend the Holiday Inn Aruba.
Be mindful of collusion. In 2007, the Radisson left a bad taste in my mouth. There’s No Sleeping in Poker. Poker Tables at the Holiday Inn are jammed into a relatively small room. Tables at the Holiday Inn are jammed into a relatively small room. Poor room design, jammed tables, and the Aruban “whatever” business attitude toward all this make for a disruptive game.
