This week’s #FriFotos theme is “Circles” …..I thought round and round…..then my mind wandered to the Dead or Alive song “You Spin Me Round (like a Record)” before landing on the Ferris Wheel (don’t ask how my mind associates things). Many cities have added Ferris Wheels to attract tourists and […]
On my first visit to The Westin Sydney many years ago, I got stuck in the elevator. No, there wasn’t an electrical or mechanical problem, it was a dumb “only Sue” reason – I couldn’t get my keycard to work in the slot to press my floor. I tried a […]
Having debuted in the cartoon, “Steamboat Willie” in 1928, Mickey Mouse will turn 86 tomorrow (November 18th). How that one cartoon character has affected each of our lives is fascinating testament to the iconic, visionary, Walt Disney. If you ever ask who I’d like to meet dead or alive, Walt […]
We all want the best and when it comes to travel there are so many confusing “best of” options. This week’s #FriFotos theme is “Best” and I keep thinking how many times I went in search of the best and found something better. Yesterday’s post, I went in search of […]

I was desperate to escape the conference hotel where for the past two days I was stranded without a car and with nowhere to walk. The food on property was dreadful to the point where they overcooked the over easy eggs, dried out the pancakes and made frozen french fries […]
For my morning trip to Houston which was leaving from Terminal B, I thought “hey let me see what the American Airlines PHL Lounge looks like in Terminal B/C” since I had recently visited the Terminal A lounge. The B/C lounge was a bit tricky for me to find. I […]
So today, November 2nd is my partner in cookie crime, Cookie Monster’s birthday. While he remains ageless to children, he is actually a bit of an old man as Frank Oz started portraying Cookie Monster in 1969! Despite his voracious appetite for cookies, he still looks pretty healthy for a […]
