The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show in Ketchikan provided us with a moderately priced, easy access excursion that entertained the whole family.

Somewhere between a party barge and The Pirates of the Caribbean ride lies the Marigalante Pirate Land Morning Tour in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Bon Vivant Cruise to Bahamas

The hardest part of writing this review is remembering exactly when the cuise was. I have now narrowed it down to either Christmas 1975 or just after New Years 1976. I know that we went down to the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area to stay with extended family before the [...]
