Silly stuff

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? I’m not even going to respond! We need something a little more thought provoking!

A Little Village Called South Queensferry

How did it get its name? In the 11th century, Queen Margaret of Scotland married to King Malcolm III established a ferry for pilgrims to cross the Firth of Forth to go to St. Andrews. Now South Queensferry and North Queensferry can be reached by three bridges. This second photo shows two bridges. The orangeContinue reading “A Little Village Called South Queensferry”

Fly me to the moon

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? No really! Is it business class or economy? I hate long hauls in economy so I will assume it’s business class. Right now we are contemplating Japan. So ANA business to Japan would be wonderful. I’m interested in Prague as well so that wouldContinue reading “Fly me to the moon”

I travel everywhere

What are your future travel plans? So I’m heading to Scotland now after leaving Iceland. When I return home, I will go to Universal Orlando to ride on roller coasters. Then to North Carolina near Raleigh. In October I’m going to St. Lucia and not sure what in between or after.

Changes to Our Society

What would you change about modern society? I live in America. The home of the free and the brave. A country where most people want for nothing. Saying all that, I find our citizens resentful, unhappy, angry, entitled and rude. Why because I don’t think they realize what a good gig they have in theContinue reading “Changes to Our Society”
