Dim Sum in Hong Kong

The best Dim Sum in the world is in Shanghai.  It is one of the three good food  choices to eat in China.  The other two are Peking Duck and MacDonalds.  

Volcanic Martini at Happy Hour

Volcanic Martini at Falls Bar in Palm Springs

A remarkable advance in the science of mixology.

Living Desert Exhibit

This is a must see if you visit Palm Desert, CA.  The Joshua Tree National Park is another must see but it is a longer trip. 

Mardi Gras

The Sazerac is said to have been invented in New Orleans.  Try to find the bar that makes the best Sazerac.

I learned that Mardi Gras is a family event.  The parades don't go through the Bourbon street, in the French Quarter.  There step ladders are everywhere for kids to sit above the heads of the adults.  Kids get special treats from the floats.  There is alcohol on the floats however.  

Nuclear Fuel Rods

Tell Jack Blauer I found the fuel rods. 

This is the view from our Jensen Beach condominium.  The Nuclear Power Plant is at 11 o'clock.
If you told me I would buy a condo on a barrier island four miles from a nuclear power plant, I would have said you were crazy.  After the nuclear meltdown in Japan, they offered us a price we could not refuse. 

Universal's Harry Potter

Get there early to visit this section of Adventure Land.  The main ride is excellent and perhaps better than the Spiderman ride.  The prices are amazingly high as well. 

The Cliffs of Moher

Sea cliffs in Western Island.

Cliffs of Moher

Another sunny day in Ireland.  The Cliffs of Moher were great to see.
