We flew out of Bellingham early on a Friday morning and were in Las Vegas in 2 hours (thank you Allegiant Air). Once in Vegas we checkin in at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. We’ve never stayed here before but it’s close to the airport and at the end of the strip so a good location.…

June arrived and Danica and I had a weekend trip planned for New York! Air Philippines had an incredible deal flying out of YVR. They make a stop over at YVR and let a whole bunch of people off and then load up all the empty seats. We had a 2pm departure. The flight…

We woke up Tuesday to another gorgeous day and decided to head north of town. We once again rented a golf cart and headed north. As you pass through town you get to a bridge- which was not there 20 years ago- you pay your 20BZ for a return pass and you are north of…

Monday the skies were back to blue! We strolled into town and had the best breakfast ever at Estel’s by the Sea- the menu board changes regularly but you cannot go wrong with the fry jacks! There is nothing quite like sitting back enjoying your cup of jo as the ocean laps nearby and the…

Sunday we woke up to a monsoon (well maybe it was just raining really hard!) Breakfast at Pineapples on the grounds of Ramones was pretty decent, a buffet affair with fresh fruit and homemade omelettes. After waiting for the rain to die down we decided to rent a golf cart and do some exploring. We…
