Finally on the beach First full day and we’re spending it relaxing on the beach. Got a decent night’s sleep and heading off to breakfast around 9:00 after a really good shower. No complaints at all about the room while getting cleaned up for breakfast. Good water pressure and a [...]
Finally Flying Got up at 3:00 am after watching the KC Chiefs lose a playoff game to the Steelers the night before. At least we finally made it out of KC. Not a bad flight to Houston, thank you TSA PreCheck for the (barely) shorter line and the no hassles [...]
This was supposed to be our first full day in Jamaica. Nope, still sitting at home in the cold. Southwest cancelled more flights this morning while everyone else was pretty much on time. Luckily everything looks good for getting out of town tomorrow morning. If tomorrow’s flight is cancelled then [...]
Local TV and the National Weather Service had been talking up a possible serious ice storm for the weekend of January 14th and 15th. Of course our flight out was early in the morning on the 14th. I started to feel more confident that we’d be able to get out [...]

Finally made it to the Steam Whistle brewery. Had some damn good pretzels and beer before taking a tour. I really like this place and highly recommend that you stop by if you’re in downtown Toronto. Even I don’t normally have a beer before noon, but, we got there a [...]
Woke up early and took a walk around downtown Toronto. Tried to find some iced tea. Eventually found some at a Starbuck’s kind of place. Damn, that was not like the iced tea I make but the caffeine buzz was great. Went to check out the logistics of going up [...]
Wow! Had no clue that Toronto was this big of a city. According to people from Toronto it is the 4th largest city in North America. Behind only Mexico City, New York, and Los Angeles. Wikipedia confirms here. Got into Toronto in time to check into the hotel, drop off [...]
