Holiday Travelling Trips



This time of the year we would probably all welcome some tips to helping us travel easier.  I do not have a magic solution for this.  As you already know a lot of the travelling is out of our control.  We cannot stop airports from backing up, planes from being overcrowded and gas prices from sky rocketing.  Athough I would suggest filling up your car before Christmas.  I have a ...

What to do with the Children



Christmas time is time for gingerbread houses and men.  There is nothing more enjoyable than spending a cold winter afternoon making gingerbread men and decorating them.  After you are finished making them it is time to eat them.

Do you really know what goes into making a gingerbread man or house?

Vie de France



As you have probably already realized, I love everything French.  The food is absolutly delicious.  I think that it is impossible to have a bad meal.

Vie de France at South Coast Plaza is a great restaurant, whether you are there for lunch or dinner.  The last time I was there I had the French onion soup with a baguette.  My waiter was a young man from Paris who I could ...

Celebrating the Winter Solistice



Friday December 21st is the longest day of the year.  I will be flying home to my parent's home for Christmas.  Hopefully the airlines will not think that they have extra time to get me home and have flights delayed longer than usual.  Last year I started my trip at 6:30 a.m. for a 8 a.m. flight.  My first flight did not leave the runway until after 5 p.m.  It ...
