Written by Kim We had 2 days at sea after we left Aruba. We enjoyed relaxing around the ship and by the pool after doing so much islands jumping over the last several days. Our day at CocoCay was only in the low 70s with some wind so a bit cool. For those who aren’t […]

Written by Kim We stayed 2 nights at the Cosmopolitan on the strip. It’s a trendy hotel recently purchased by MGM. It was very nice but we missed the smoke free environment of Park MGM.

Written by Kim After a long day yesterday we lagged a bit in the morning before getting out and about. We are staying in Park MGM which is the only smoke free casino in Vegas. It is so nice not to have a sore throat, teary eyes and stinky clothes from the smoke. We will […]

Written by Kim I had my big milestone birthday in July and Alex asked me what I wanted. I really didn’t want anything but he insisted that I must have something because it was a big one. As I approached my 60 I was thinking of something getting my whole family together but with 2 […]
