Travel: Disneyland’s Secret Menu Items?

Published by

I’ve been thinking about a weekend trip to my favorite place on earth – Disneyland – and just disappearing in fantasy-land (no punt intended).  And while I was looking into a package, you know air/hotel/entrance tickets, I came across this interesting site which details ‘The Best Secret Menu Items at Disneyland“. I’m on it:   {source for featured image}

Adventure Travel For All Type

Published by

As I’ve mentioned before I was a travel agent at one point in my life, and I have to say that was one of my favorite jobs – you know – making people feel good by traveling. Out company, although mostly for student travel, we also offered up adventure travel – past the typical tours, we specialized in booking folks on adventures of all types – and each time we sent someone off on one of those speciality adventures, they came back raving, and wanting to book more. In line with this topic, I have found a pretty good site for those interested in soft adventure, or one that is rigorous, for families or without, groups or thrill seekers. Check out what I mean:

Fashion: Weekend Outfits

Published by

On the weekends, I usually dress for a proper workout, go to the gym, then head out for errands, or go for a walk across the city, then have lunch somewhere in the Marina and take Muni back home.

Hope to see you there. And if not, than glad you are here.

San Francisco: Some of the Best Patio Seating

The other day I had lunch at Yumma’s on Irving Street, and after ordering our falafel wraps, my friend suggested we sit outside in their patio – which I had no idea they had. (I hadn’t eaten there for years). But it got me thinking about all of the wonderful tourists heading to this fair city which I call home, and so I decided to add a list from here and there of some of the best patio seating in San Francisco: 4505 Burgers & BBQ (705 Divisadero St.) The patio at 4505 Burgers & BBQ may seem a little unconventional  (it’s a converted parking lot), but that’s what gives it San Francisco charm. If the patio alone won’t get you there, then the mouthwatering burgers and ribs should. All Good Pizza (1605 Jerrod Ave) A pizza truck turned brick oven is doling out delicious pies in a parking lot in the Bayview that’s making people line up. Enjoy them at the covered picnic benches. Arlequin Cafe (384 Hayes St.) Walk into Arlequin’s back patio and …
