I visited the USS Arizona Memorial while vacationing in Hawaii a fews years back.  It is probably one of the most touching Memorials I have been to.   This is a shot I took as we arrived at the Monument. This shot I took as we pulled away. This photo I took while inside.  I think it says it all....

I've read many blogs on what to buy as a housewarming gift.   I'm always looking for that special gift.  Sometimes, you know it immediately.  For those of you who are stll searching for the "special" gift ...

Sunsets in Hawaii are so inspiring, not to mention soothing and rel...

Last year I took a cruise to the Panama Canal. But, this post is not about the canal itself. It deals with ingenuity and prospering in the face of insurmountable odds. Along the way, we stopped at Cartegena, Columbia. I was pretty excited about this because I remembered Cartegena from the movie ...
