Happy New Year 2017
What a way to go...128th Rose Bowl Parade and Disneyland. Brilliant. Great pics guys. Only thing missing is the obligatory photo with Mickey Mouse. Maybe next time!

The rose what parade??
We must have lived under a rock all our lives as we have never heard of the Rose Bowl Parade, but then I guess that rock we live under is on the other side of the world. Does look really amazing and perhaps will end up on that ever growing "to do list", just love beautiful floats and a great parade. As for 7am being too early for a bacon hotdog, I feel that is the perfect time for such gourmet food. Started many a day at 5am with a greasy bacon and egg roll, and credit my great physical well being and health to such practises.

Rose Bowl Parade
This parade 128 years strong is in conjunction with American Football. At the end of the season we have "Bowl" games and the rose bowl is one of the premier games. The parade is a celebration before the game and the roses, roses and roses are amazing. You must see it some day. Nutrition notes made....will include bacon dogs for breakfast in the future.

Great pictures
Loved this blog and all the pictures, and all the 'inside information'. My kids were 8 and 11 when we went to Disney in FL. Perfect ages- didn't need naps, bottles or diapers. It really is cruel and abusive to have infants, babies and even toddlers wait in long lines often in hot sun. It's a fun place once or maybe twice in your life. When I give travel workshops I try to explain to people that visiting the real place is VERY different than Disney.... starting with you don't wear shorts and flip- flops in Paris or Rome. Thanks for sharing your fun day.

Great pictures
I told Dave I'll want a day at Disneyworld in Florida to do a comparision. It was enjoyable but I won't become a Disney junkie. I actually like Epcot better. Dave hasn't been to Epcot so I'll have to take him. The Rose Bowl Parade was as wonderful as you might expect.

Worse places to spend holiday time.
Long time no speak. Good to see holidays are in full swing regardless of the impending inauguration of a certain president. And I thought our politics was demented.

Holiday Times
LA has so much to offer at the holidays and we didn't eve scratch the surface. Demented politics.... nothing to say.

Great Cruising and Bluesing
Great cruising and bluesing with you guys! You made a difference in our trip. I know we'll see you somewhere again, and soon hopefully. Best, Peter

The Birthday Blues!
What a perfect way to celebrate--massive amounts of your favorite music, your beloved Tinsley, friends and a romantic, nostalgic stop in Barbados! And how fun to chat with your favorite musicians--very special. Great to learn that there are blues musicians of all genders and genres. And I love Dave's shirt, "Baptized in Muddy Waters." Somehow, I don't think this will be your last cruise.

No this will not be our last blues cruise but we do have other places we need to go see. We need a break. Them bringing Tinsley Ellis back would get my attention.

Merry Jo can you sit any closer???
The guy's nearly falling off the couch! :) So glad you had another wonderful Blues Cruise. The bad food is very disappointing, and probably worthy of a complaint - especially when the food had been good on your other two cruises. So lovely that you could go visit your wedding beach from 1994!

Sitting closer
Ha ha Ren. The music was fantastic and to get to hear Tinsley play multiple times was great. I must have said too much about the food. It wasn't bad just disappointing compared to the previous cruise line. Well, ok, yes, some was over cooked. Shoot, I'm a foodie and expect the food to taste as good as the beautiful presentation. Our wedding beach is a very special place. I'm glad we could go back with Art and Deb.

You both are an ispiration
Dave and MJ, Your love for the Blues and your bondage with each other should be inspiration for everyone. I am learning a lot about the Blues, discussed with my wife about the Blues (who happens to be more knowledgeable in the Music than this adrenaline junky) and I thoroughly enjoyed your blog. But Dave, you have a competition in hand my friend - Tinsley!

Experience
What a wonderful way to spend a birthday and revisit great memories. We have only been to Barbados once, but loved it. Keep goingonntjese adventures, Amazon and iTunes are loving my downloads based on your recommendations. Time to further expand my zydeco. If you see Rev Billy again and he didn't do his Mr Roster bit, ask him to. He would frequent a local Pittsburgh radio station - WDVE - so I have had the opportunity oo hear some of his material.

What a special birthday
I love how you plan incredible trips for your birthday. You two really know how to live life and share your passion. It sounds like a great music trip, but perhaps next time BVChef should come with to make sure the food service is up to snuff. No reason anyone should have to search for coffee. Glad the music was over the top good and MJ, embrace your newly found stalker persona. I think you wear it well.

A special birthday
I do think that you should go on all trips with Dave and I. We should make it a requirement. We travel well together and if the food it not of quality you can talk them through it. They will benefit from your expertise. The music was fantastic. Seriously, I'm just a fan. wink wink
