    The Widow, Spinster, Missus and her Boy Toy celebrate new beginnings at WDW - We finally get to Chill in our Cabin! 4/18

    The cabin was spectacular! It was so beautiful, seriously quiet and so convenient to the pools and grill. I could live there if it wasn't in Florida...I kept saying I wanted to bring it back to Colorado! Dinner was amazing! I highly recommend wine in the hot tub! LOL The music for the...

    The Widow, Spinster, Missus and her Boy Toy celebrate new beginnings at WDW - We finally get to Chill in our Cabin! 4/18

    The interaction with Pluto was so cute! This was DELICIOUS! Just the right amount of savory, sweetness, and heat! Omg, this was good! Not sweet at all...very well balanced! I don't look as weird in this picture! This was soooo much fun! Disney hit it out of the literal park with this...

    The Widow, the Spinster, and the Missus take on Disneyland - A little OT Interlude in Napa 4/14

    It was an early flight but so nice to get into Oakland so early. It's really a quick drive up to Napa. Bouchon was AMAZING!!!!! One of my favorite meals ever. The bakery was delicious too....I got the fanciest HoHo ever...I ate it on the plane ride home. BV had some great wines and really...

    The Widow, Spinster, Missus and her Boy Toy celebrate new beginnings at WDW - We finally get to Chill in our Cabin! 4/18

    I really enjoy the boats....It's so less crowded and you get a different viewpoint. I realize how privileged I am not to have mobility issues after traveling with Fran. The Easter egg display was really cool! Disney employs so many really talented artists. Jill in CO

    The Widow, Spinster, Missus and her Boy Toy celebrate new beginnings at WDW - We finally get to Chill in our Cabin! 4/18

    Love the Centurion Lounge! I was glad I snagged a table as the lounge was super crowded and tables were at a premium! It was truly awful! We chose wisely! I should have just gotten the baby bottles at Publix but oh well...I survived! Oh, and I filled out the survey Dollar sent...I wasn't...

    The Widow and the Spinster: The Search for Adventure, Enlightenment, and the Quest for Forbidden food - Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, and New TR Link! 4/2

    So Heathrow doesn't announce gate assignments until about 45 minutes before boarding so we were taking a guess and we did guess wrong! Luckily we had enough time to get to the otherside of the terminal and the lounge was super close to our gate! Manna from heaven! British bacon is a poor...

    The Widow, the Spinster, and the Missus take on Disneyland - A little OT Interlude in Napa 4/14

    I can't remember after a few Tiki drinks! ;) Oh darn, twist my arm to go stay at Copper Creek and Concierge at AKL! You forgot my first harrowing Uber story! I usually use Lyft (they are a better run company IMHO) but I get an Uber credit with my Amex so wanted to use it. So I'm in the...

    The Widow and the Spinster: The Search for Adventure, Enlightenment, and the Quest for Forbidden food - Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, and New TR Link! 4/2

    It was interesting....it was cashew crusted chicken cutlet. Wasn't horrible but not what I was expecting. It was steak with eggs and a potato cake thingy. The steak was delicious and the potato was a little greasy but it was serviceable. The eggs were vomit inducing for me LOL Jill in CO

    The Widow and the Spinster: The Search for Adventure, Enlightenment, and the Quest for Forbidden food - Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, and New TR Link! 4/2

    Every tourist was on basically the same schedule with the way all the busses and vans caravanned out to Abu Simbel. Hundreds of people all descending at once and the early morning as it gets even hotter (and it was already hot!) the later in the day. The ice cream bar was awesome! Made up for...

    The Widow and the Spinster: The Search for Adventure, Enlightenment, and the Quest for Forbidden food - Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, and New TR Link! 4/2

    Abu Simbel was incredible! Not only was it a temple but served as a warning/symbol of the Pharaoh's power on the Southern border. This was an add on to the trip...I couldn't go all that way and not see it. We were repaired with the Australian couple but thankfully the Croatian family and the...

    I thought you had been abducted by aliens there for a minute! Can't wait to stay at the DLH villas with you in May but I hate that they charge the tax on check out! Jill in CO

    The Widow and the Spinster: The Search for Adventure, Enlightenment, and the Quest for Forbidden food - Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, and New TR Link! 4/2

    I was tired! I totally don't remember! LOL The guide told us his father was the mayor of Kom Ombo (the city)...I choose the believe him. The lights went out at the temple for a couple of minutes...I told him he should call his dad! :) They came back on and we were able to finish the tour. I...

    Alison and I killed it (for us!) on TSM! Lift is too short to eat green beans at DL! Glad we got one last ride on HM (even with the overlay!) before it went down for the next year! LGB is the best airport! It's close and I can wave at Alison's house when I go over! Jill in CO

    The Widow and the Spinster: The Search for Adventure, Enlightenment, and the Quest for Forbidden food - Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, and New TR Link! 4/2

    She was OUT! We both needed the sleep....our sleep had not been great and a lot of early mornings this trip! It wasn't too bad...but the McD's in Cairo was so much better! I was less than pleased but we were between a rock and a hard place. Luckily the price wasn't awful so it made it an...

    Do Not Die Today: Southern California, 2022 (COMPLETE 2/23)

    The HOHO bus is a good way to get your bearings but may be pricey for the whole gang. Book tickets to Churchill War Rooms and Tower of London ahead of time...when I was there in April they were sold out for the day so I was happy I was an obsessive planner! I also signed up for the Royal...

    Do Not Die Today: Southern California, 2022 (COMPLETE 2/23)

    Alison gave me the bat signal and I've been reading the whole report today instead of doing the work I meant to around the house. Thanks! ;) Truly the end of an era but I've enjoyed your writing and seeing your family grow (literally!) over the years. Thanks for letting me crash on this trip...

    Such a fun weekend and I was so happy to get out of the cold even though it rained all weekend! Randy Rainbow was so much and Napa Rose was divine as usual. Jill in CO

    The Widow and the Spinster: The Search for Adventure, Enlightenment, and the Quest for Forbidden food - Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, and New TR Link! 4/2

    To be fair...Egypt switched from Daylight Savings time on a Thursday night 2 weeks before the US did and I think the UK switched a week before the US so our math was hard to figure it all out! He was the BEST guide of the trip! I wished we had him the whole time. You don't really have a lack...
