Disney Trip Planned

-

 My all time favorite place to go on vacation is Walt Disney World in Florida. I wish I could afford to go here twice a year, but I can barely afford once a year. I was there in December of 2022 and I am planning to go again in March of 2024. I have everything booked. Disney is offering 25% off hotels for the beginning of next year which I took advantage of for this trip. I will be trying a different resort for me as I am staying at Port Orleans French Quarter. Now I start my countdown!! I am sure I will find some places to take day trips between now and then that I can tell you all about here on this blog.

Portland Maine

 What a beautiful waterfront city to explore, especially if you like lighthouses and enjoy exploring old forts.  We took the almost 3 hour drive North on a Thursday. Traveled route 495 to 95 at 8am and there was light traffic. I always have to make a couple of stops so if you are like me, it will comfort you to know that there are some nice rest stops on route 95 in Maine. First is the visitor information center just over the Maine border. This place has rest rooms and plenty of tourist information along with a couple of helpful people working there. Next stop is in Kennebunk. This place has a variety of food options (Burger King, Popeyes, food mart, and coming soon is Dunkin Donuts) also some large rest rooms. Both places were nice and clean. The first light house we explored was Portland Head Light at Fort Williams. There is plenty of parking here but be aware the cost to park is $5 for two hours. The side of the parking lot was lined with outhouses if needed.  The light house is loc

A day in Plymouth, Ma

 The first weekend in November I made a trip to Plymouth. I really enjoyed myself walking around the waterfront. All the restaurants were open as well as the tourist souvenir shops. I was also pleased that the building with public restrooms was open as well and quite clean. This year I went looking for the painted scallop shells. Found some very nice ones. Two years ago the town had painted lobsters all about. Cabbyshack restaurant had both their lobster and scallop shell on display. I walked along the water finding many painted shells, saw lots of people touring the Mayflower and I took a peak at Plymouth Rock. Here are a few of the scallop shells I found by the water, This first weekend in November is when Plymouth North holds their annual craft fair so I went there and walked around. There were 100 vendors. The senior center is next to the high school and I found this scallop shell at the senior center. If you are looking for something to do for one day, or even half a day, I recomm

Casino Fun

 I am not someone who goes to the casino all the time but I do enjoy a trip to one every now and then. Recently I went to visit Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY. It was my first time here and I would definitely take the 4 hour drive to visit again. The casino was extremely clean and bright. Lots of cute shops throughout the place. and so many restaurants to pick from. I went with my sister, who lives in NY, and we chose to eat at the casino buffet. Delicious!! The cost was $39.99 per person for a buffet with so many choices: taco bar, seafood, Chinese, BBQ, carving station, fried food, Italian and of course many delightful desserts.  I had prime rib from the carving station and it melted in my mouth, I had to go back for seconds on that. The general Tso's chicken was another of my favorites. The only food I had that I have a small complaint about was the chicken tenders were a little dry.    For dessert I had to try more than one. I had the most delicious piece of carrot cake, al
