Another great night’s sleep by all and weather is unreal. Today there are forecasting a max of 27 degrees. Can you believe it ! I checked Atlanta and is is a max of 1. I am walking around in thongs (on my feet !). Another continental breakfast and then we decided to take on the suitcase changeover. We will have no need to take all the warm clothing on the Cruise so we decided to convert from 7 suitcases to 3, and leave the two largest ones an two smallest behind at the Hotel (since we are coming back here again). Well wasn’t that a challenge ! Anyway we got all that done and it was lunch time by the time we were ready to leave the room. Today we were headed for the grand old ... read more

Well the day started pretty much the same as yesterday. Opened the blinds to see a pile of snow in the courtyard. After breakfast Kerry & I went and had a look outside to see how things looked. A couple of the hotel workers were trying to shovel snow from the driveway to make access better. The roads were still a mess and sidewalks pretty slippery too. I decided that since the MARTA train station was only 50 metres away (just across the road) we should try and catch the train to the CBD which is 5 stops away as we were pretty sure they would have this area cleaned up by now. I first checked on the Internet to find out that the World of Coca-Cola Museum was not opened, then I found out the ... read more

Well we arrived slightly ahead of time after a 12.5 hour flight on VAustralia. Flight was bright & airy, but leg room pretty cramped, entertainment systems really good but I had the one seat with a problem with speaker only working through one channel (not great for stereo !). The fancy internal cabin mood light show once we landed at LAX was great but we were tired and just wanted to get off. No need for PC, IPODS, DS Lite as their systems has it all. I even got to hear Johnny Cash to warm me up for later on the trip when "We're goin' to Jackson". Luke had got the flu the day before we left so he had about 7-8 nose bleeds but he did not complain and toughed it out. Elise had the ... read more

10-20-10 There is a laundry facility at the OK RV Park, so we got that started this morning and worked around the coach with a little maintenance...G checked the water level in the batteries, we changed the water filters, etc. I went back over to check on the laundry and met the nicest couple from Georgia. They have been on the road 10 days in their Lincoln pulling a tent-trailer. They have always liked to travel, so having recently retired, they decided to hit the road!! No generator, so they’re forced to stay at sites with hookups...unlucky!! She was used to always hanging her laundry outside on the line, so she was mystified by the dryer...she was trying to keep things from getting too wrinkled...I suggested she wouldn’t be so particular after a few more days ... read more

October 14, 2010 While not as experienced as say, an annual pass holder, several trips to Disneyland has afforded me knowledge through trial and error. This is a break-down of how I maximize my days at the Happiest Place on Earth. Touring the Park Research before you go. I know, some people love surprises. But for the amount of money it costs for four days at Disneyland, just do a little reading. The park website is very user-friendly, and instantly you can access ride descriptions, park hours, entertainment schedules, ride closures, and other resort information. Making a general plan will help economize your group’s time in the park. Front-load your day. This means going straight for your favorite rides, or the most popular rides, before the crowds hit a couple hours after the parks open. All ... read more
