Today we had the most fun cruising the International Wildlife Museum. I expected it to be crowded but most of the time we had the exhibits to ourselves. It really is a fun place. There are 400 species of insects, mammals and birds from around the world. Some of the animals I had never heard of. This is a "must do" ...

Okay, so the heat is here and you're looking for a way to cool off in the afternoon while the heat is at its peak. Besides their yummy sandwiches eegee's has the famous eegee's Frozen Fruit Drinks which are delish.

The Hilton's Cool Room Packages


I have always like Hilton Hotels. I stayed in them often when I was on the road for work and we still stay at them (among others) when on vacation. I was driving on the east side a few days ago

One of the USA's most misspelled cities


Can you guess what the 15 most misspelled cities are in America? It just so happens that my beloved Tucson ranks number 2. I'm not surprised at all though. Any time I have to give my address over the phone the person on the other end (about 99% of the time) spells it back wrong or asks me to spell it. I think the most common mistake is leaving ...
