Mercedes Memory
I must confess I haven't been searching for churches much lately, instead mostly walking along the beach with my wife on Sunday mornings to meet my son Jay at the Lighthouse to listen to Jazz. I've always been someone who just loves God and the world He made for us to enjoy rather than someone particularly religious, anyway. However, one semester in college, I started the year by bringing a Bible with me when I went to school. I wasn't bringing it to convert anyone. I was in the process of reading it cover to cover, just as I had recently read "Autobiography of a Yogi" in hopes of unde...Read More...Afghanistan
While working my way through college, one of my jobs was as substitute custodian for a school district. I became the person they called first, because I always showed up and did a good job. That led to a plum assignment of several weeks replacing the Eastwood Elementary School evening custodian, who had a heart attack. It was within walking distance of my mom's house, which is where I lived while in college to cut expenses for both of us. One afternoon I was mopping a classroom. I always left the door open to allow a breeze in while working. SPLAT! I turned around and saw a mud-soaked ...Read More...Barefoot Bar & Grill in San Diego
One of my favorite spots in all of San Diego is Paradise Point on Mission Bay. You can rent jet skis, sail boats and lots of other fun toys, or just hang out on the beach. After a day in the sun, we've often headed to the Barefoot Bar.

Following the traditions of many West Coast-based ships, Wonder will shift to Alaska for the summer season in 2011. Always thinking ahead about how to make Disney Cruises special for their clients, Disney will put Wonder in dry dock in October and build a new venue called Outlook Cafe on Deck 10 with curved, floor-to-ceiling windows to showcase the amazing views in Alaska.

The Lighthouse still has hot jazz and cold drinks, and the prices are always reasonable. On Sundays, you can get a delicious brunch for under ten bucks, accompanied by great music. Bloody Marys are just $3 and quite tasty. It's another terrific choice if you have a cruise from Long Beach or San Pedro in the afternoon.

For anyone catching a cruise in the LA area, Hermosa Beach is a great place to visit. There's usually mild surf with fun waves for body surfing or boogie boarding. Even when there isn't some kind of celebration, there's usually live entertainment and fun at venues on Pier Avenue and the surrounding areas.

Rather than rushing to the ship to pay the price of standing in line to get a free meal, why not splurge a little and enjoy the best of the South Bay? Boarding lines are always much shorter (if not non-existent) about two hours before the ship sails, and you'll actually be smiling for your embarkation photo.

A short drive from the cruise terminal in San Pedro is an area very much removed from the traffic jams and bustle normally associated with Los Angeles.

Anyway, if your family is looking for something to do while in Southern California, take them out to the ball game. Anaheim Stadium is a relatively easy drive from either Long Beach or San Pedro, and while you're in town, there's a mouse and some Goofy frRead More...So Cal Attractions 1: Old Town Music Hall
This is the kind of place you probably would say we need more to preserve, so why not check out one of the shows? It's a chance to see old Hollywood the way it was intended to be seen: on the sivler screen.Read More...Enrichment Programs On Mainstream Cruises
Just remember you have access to great port information while onboard many mainstream cruises, including this Princess Baltic cruise. If that is something you value, always take the time to check it out. Read More...Pack and Go
The Pack-and-Go promotion offers last-minute inventory with great pricing!Read More...The Happiest Places on Earth
We are saving the rain forests, for example, by giving them a market of people willing to pay to see them, rather than burning them down to plant corn to be used as bio-fuels, as neo-Marxist “environmentalists” would. Do you think pristine coves wouldRead More...Arriving in Copenhagen
While flying to Copenhagen certainly costs more and is considerably less convenient than flying to London from Los Angeles, clearing customs proved to be a breeze, whereas London Heathrow can be a bit of a muddle.Read More...Contemplate Floating
It's always amazing to me that when aboard a giant airplane it not only gets off the ground but flies, or that on a floating resort like we will be on in a little more than a week, a hundred thousand tons floats like a Dixie cup.
