Las Vegas Bound?

    I was recently talking to a young lady who works at the local store in my area. She was headed to Las Vegas to celebrate her 21st birthday. A ton of places came to mind at once. I advised her of many of the stores, restaurants, and simply the sights themselves. I told her that the Vegas Strip each has a hotel with a different theme. Even if you're not a gambler, which I'm not, there's a lot to do. You can have breakfast in New York, lunch in Luxor, and dinner in Paris...  On the Vegas Strip, that is. Not to mention the shows, concerts, magic shows, comedy shows, etc.  I told this young lady, of course, you won't get to see everything in one trip.  At times the Las Vegas Strip feels like a theme park. Other times, it feel like an endless mall full of shops and restaurants.
   Starting at the end of the strip, there's Mandalay Bay. It's a beach themed hotel which actually has it's own beach. It has an aquarium, elegant shops at Mandalay Place, and a delightful buffet.
   Luxor allows you to experience the ancient Sphinx and the Pyramids while enjoying the modern amenities of Las Vegas.
   Excalibur creates an atmosphere of Medieval times. Yet, with McDonalds and Krispy Kreme in the food court, and a whole floor of skee ball, video games, it feels a little less like Vegas and a lot more family friendly.    

    Thanks for reading, please stop by again, as there's a  lot more.

Hi Friends

 Hi friends,
I have so much I'd like to share about all the places I have been. I think my account of Walt Disney World will be extensive, so I'll probably talk about it a little at a time. Take Care, until next time.

Walt Disney World

 Has it really been that long? I was reading my blog and I promised you an account of Walt Disney World. That was several months ago. I would like to talk about the four theme Parks, especially my favorite, Epcot. Talk to you soon!

Palm Springs,California

 How could I not mention Palm Springs in my travel blog. It's so clean and pretty. There's a replica of the Hollywood Walk of Fame in downtown Palm Springs. The mountains are close enough to touch. There's an outdoor dining area in just about every restaurant in the downtown area .It's a great place to visit. My recommendation for the time of year would be right around March or April if you can. While the snow capped mountain views are a sight, it's also quite cold. That's fine if you like the cold weather. If you're like me, however, you want to travel in milder temperatures. I visited once for my birthday in January. Let's just say I froze my toes off! I was there a couple of weeks into February and it rained buckets!
 Being a desert, it's cold in the winter and hot, hot, hot in the summer (as I've heard). My most pleasant visit was in the spring. There are many luxurious hotels, lots of great restaurants, and lots of history. You can feel classic Hollywood in the atmosphere. I love classic movies, which makes Palm Springs an interesting place for me. If you need a quiet getaway from L.A., I am sure you will find it in Palm Springs.

The Magic Kingdom

 A while back, I promised an account of Walt Disney World. This vast land is divided in to four different theme parks,two water parks,and Downtown Disney.I'll starrt with the Magic Kingdom, which in my opinion is a replica of Disneyland. It's a pretty neat place. If you've never been to Disneyland it's quite impressive. If you have it's still a fun park.There's the Magic Castle, and all the great Disneyland rides.
