Hand-carved wooden carousel horses are a thing of the past, which is just one of the reasons that the carousel in Spokane’s Riverfront Park is such a gem. You can choose your favorite ride and try to catch the brass ring.

It’s been awhile since I experienced night time Las Vegas, but last fall’s trip for Blog World Expo gave me another link at this city that NEVER sleeps.

These skeletons were from the BODIES exhibit when it was in Seattle. There are numerous touring exhibits and a permanent one is Las Vegas. I was very interested in seeing the exhibit, although I was a little concerned about how I’d react to real live (or real dead) human bodies. I’m so glad that I went, and I found it quite educational. Our bodies are truly remarkable vessels.

The Etruscan Museum is located in Chiusy, Italy. It’s full of Etruscan art, especially funeral urns. Admission is a couple Euro, and you can easily see the museum in about an hour. While you’re there, why not pick out the funeral urn that you think suits your style?

One of the major travel events that I attend each year, is the USTA’s International Pow-Wow.
This event provides me with the information, connections, and what I need for nearly a year of travel planning and writing. It’s a big event and yield big return on my investment of time and money.
This photo was taken at the 2009 event, held in Miami, Florida.

I’ve always been a fan of flamingos, in all their varied shades of orangey-pink (their color is a result of their diet).

Eiffel Tower Las Vegas-Style
November 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Closer to home than the original, the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel & Resort in Las Vegas is like much of the rest of the city’s attractions – over the top, a bit on the tacky side, but still luring visitors.
