Although it's located less than an hour away from my house, I've only been to Marineland three times.  Once when I was younger, once about 5 years ago and then again in April of 2008.  My cousins, Brad and Jonathan as well as their parents, Uncle Brad and Aunt Vickie were in town for the weekend so we headed down to Marineland.  The park is much smaller than I remembered, hence the cheap admission.  The dolphins don't perform a show, but if you're lucky they'll perform a f…

My first travel nursing assignment at Cape Coral Hospital in south Florida. June 25 - Sept. 25

A SHORT OLD SCHOOL  HISTORY LESSON of BUSCH GARDENS of TAMPA, FLORIDA  In 1965, Busch Gardens introduced the gigantic Serengeti Plain, allowing the African animals to roam freely, much like the Animals of Old School do  in Gibsonton, Florida.  The Serengeti Plain became the largest, free-roaming habitat outside of Africa. In 1977, the corkscrew roller coaster, The Python, opened.   Four years later, Busch Gardens introduced the classic loopin…

i have already arrived in Ft Lauderdale from Miami..... I have checked in at the Sheraton Yankee Trader for my last Floridian night. I had so many things to do before returning home..... I needed to get into the salty Atlantic Ocean.  For this whole trip, I had not yet been to the beach, yes....I did go snorkeling a few days past, but never was I able to touch the sand.  I had to get a bit darker....I wanted a tan.  This would be so that I could really say I went on a vacati…

Our last day in Orlando:(((( We'd pretty much seen most of Disney World by now but we had one last day to use our tickets.We'd already checked our bags in that morning so we had 8 hours to mill around. We went back to the Animal Kingdom to try to get on the Everest ride again. But it seemed like all the kids were off school again so we just couldn't be bothered.It was still a really nice day so to kill some time we went to one of the crazy golf places they have on site. This particular one ha…

Old School Bike Wash-Taken from "Car Wash" a 1976 number-one single by Rose Royce for MCA Records, the group's debut single and one of the most notable hits of the disco era. Written and produced by the band's main producer Norman Whitfield, "Car Wash", the theme of the 1976 Richard Pryor film Car Wash, was Rose Royce's most successful hit single. The song was later covered in 2004 by Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott, who released their version as the single for the Shark Tale soundtrack.…

I arrived at the Magic Kingdom around 10:00am. The park hours are 9:00am to 11:00pm.  I love to visit the parks at this time of year. All decorted for the holidays.  My niece and me where to go today but she is sick. I really wanted to see Diney for the holidays so I went by myself. The rest of the family was working or had plans for the day. After parking in Daisy and riding the tram in, my first stop was to take some pictures of Main Street USA and Cinderella's Castle. That I did…

We had plenty of time on Saturday morning before the ship could be boarded. So, we drove the short distance back to Coca Beach for another look. The rest of the family had not seen the beach itself and wanted to see it. We parked and walked over to one of the access paths. An airplace flew low over the beach with trailing advertising streamers for swimwear. (Buy one, get one free!) The beach was not crowded at all, which surprised me. OK, this is technically off-season. But, th…

It was the summer of 2005 when I took the plane to "The Sunshine State" Florida. After arrival at Miami Airport just straight to "Alomo Rent a Car" to pick up a white grand am pontiac (Automatic transmission). After getting to know the car and the US traffic signs (directions like "east" and "west" were new to me) we went to our hotel in Miami......it was already dark so it toke a while before we found the Tudor Hotel in Miami Beach. After a quick bite a jetlag was coming up.....so time …

I’m sitting at gate C-39, in Denver International Airport waiting for our flight at 10:35, an hour and 40 minutes from now. My wife has done the majority of the planning and leg work on this vacation. I have spent most of my spare time this year writing a family history book, but that’s another story.   Anyway, our flight will take the four of us; me, my wife Margo, 23 year old daughter, Jolene, and 18 year old daughter, Jessi, to Dallas. I don’t know about leg two…
