    Does not matter what kind of wrapper it is – if you touch, nah, if you even THINK about shredding/slicing or gasp – eating cheese.. Imara’s there. And if you were wondering where that cheese was going.. Taco Wednesday.

    That sunny spot

    As .. dim.. as Imara might be – she appreciates the finer things, at least in a dog’s opinion. Fall-Spring provides ample sun through the storm door, and is the preferred place to spend the morning. Can’t blame her!

    The iconic structure at the heart of Atlantis is composed of the Royal Towers. As gimmicky as it feels, the architecture is really awesome, easily giving an impression that it did rise from the bottom of the ocean. Another iconic structure on the property is the the Mayan Temple – featuring several slides, most notably…

    Fate sent us to the Bahamas for “February Vacation” (not to be confused with “April Vacation”) this year. What. A. Place. Our room was somewhere on the left – but who cares. Look at that building! So, architecture is stunning, as well as just overall resort/island atmosphere. Its all quite amazing, especially the amount of…

    I haven’t flown since before that pandemic we had. Jetblue has made some slick upgrades to their seatback entertainment! And we landed somewhere nice.
