    What are you grateful for?

    I am grateful for the hardworking teams at the Disboards, Disunplugged, and Dreams Unlimited Travel for providing a great community and entertaining, informative content for those times that require a happy distraction. I am grateful to have travelled enough to know what I am missing when there...

    Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum? Legends of Pearl Harbor Tour?

    We toured the museum last week after our Pearl Harbor Memorial visit. Although we thought the USS Missouri was the real star of the extended ticket, we thought the museum was certainly worthwhile. We have visited a number of other aviation museums and thought this one was well done. It...

    Our Aulani trip is scheduled for late March. How's everyone doing?

    My husband and I have been on Oahu for the past week. A few days in Ko Olina and the last few days on the North Shore. Beautiful sites, perfect weather, and friendly people just as you would expect. A truly wonderful visit. We have had no concerns. Local broadcast news has featured...

    Four Seasons La Hiki weekend brunch buffet

    I believe it was 45ish. Our tab was always 94 for the two of us but I am not sure where the break was for tax. I am also afraid that I don’t know the price for the elevated weekend brunch. Sorry. We will try to catch that next time!

    Four Seasons La Hiki weekend brunch buffet

    Hey there Gumbydom - We didn’t eat at Makahiki since we don’t usually do character dining if not traveling with extended family. But, we walked through to check it out. The atmosphere of the two can’t be compared. Makahiki would be a fun, one-time event for us whereas La Hiki is just a nice...

    FS vs Aulani

    As I posted on another thread, my husband I checked out of the FS earlier today. We are obviously Disney fans, and we had this same debate. Our difference is that we are middle-aged and don’t have children. But still, we debated. We ended up at FS, and for our purposes we are extremely pleased...

    Four Seasons La Hiki weekend brunch buffet

    We actually checked out of the FS earlier today. We didn’t have the weekend brunch but had the regular La Hiki breakfast buffet every morning. It was very nice and low key. As stated above, it is open air and casual. We don’t have children but the staff was great, and I am sure could accommodate...

    That sounds like an excellent plan Kevin. I like the idea of seeing how the day unfolds. We are only arriving in Paris the day before, but we hope to make the most of it! I hope that everyone has a relaxing and uneventful flight. Ann

    Dis Viking River Cruise 10/19 - 10/26/2015

    Has anyone had thoughts about the best time to arrive at the boat on Monday? I thought the Viking info was oddly vague on this point. I feel like we may stay at in Paris until early afternoon and arrive about 3:00ish in the event they have any briefings, etc. before dinner. I think we will...

    NEW SHOW - Connecting with Walt hosted by Michael Bowling

    I listen to the Disneyland podcast as well and have very much enjoyed Michael's regular history installments. I listened to the new podcast over the weekend and think it is sensational. I can't imagine how much work and research went into the preparation - thanks so much for all who have made...

    Dis Viking River Cruise 10/19 - 10/26/2015

    The New York Times website (travel section) posted one of its "36 Hours In . . ." installments this week and its Paris, Right Bank! Perfect timing. It is only 5 minutes long, but it is atmospheric and a nice promise of beautiful things to come. Ann

    I wanted to let those of you who are food (or food history) lovers that La Couronne in Rouen has opened its reservation books for the evenings that we are visiting that City. It is the restaurant described by Julia Child in her book, My Life in France, as being pivotal in her love of French...

    New Orleans - Do We Need A Car?

    I have been on one of the boats, but it has been years and it was with a private party. I think it is a unique perspective on the city and worth doing if you have the time. As far as I know, there are still two riverboats, the Creole Queen and the Natchez. I think that both offer a cruise...

    New Orleans - Do We Need A Car?

    As a former NOLA resident and someone who now lives close by, I wanted to chip in with a little advice too. Certainly, you don’t need a car at the Sheraton. It is a great location on the cusp of the French Quarter and the CBD. Walking, street car, and taxi will get you where you need to go...

    Christy, Thanks for reminding me of the David Lebovitz blog! I have been out of Paris "mode" for a while so I will have to check back in with that for sure. I know that I have heard of Mon Oncle le Vigneron and perhaps your entry is it? In any event, that may just appear on my "to-do" list...

    Dis Viking River Cruise 10/19 - 10/26/2015

    With regard to the reading list, I would recommend both 1066 and D-Day, June 6th by Stephen Ambrose. Certainly, 1066 is wonderful if you (or the group) will be visiting the Bayeux tapestry in Bayeux (obviously) or would like a scholarly account of the Norman Conquest. As for the tapestry, it...

    Dis Viking River Cruise 10/19 - 10/26/2015

    I am so pleased that my husband Larry and I will be joining the group. Kevin helped us with booking over the weekend and we are excited about this new adventure. We have not travelled with this group, but this itinerary is very appealing to us. We have been to Normandy before (loved it) and...

    We're batting around an idea....

    I will likely never be able to watch the live recording, but I can't say that I feel that I have missed out. I will always be an audio listener first and foremost and will watch the "on demand" version (which I am about to do right now) as time permits. That alone is a great offering. Maybe...

    Can anyone help me with gluten free info

    I have been gluten free for quite some time and have found it easier than I ever would have expected. Dining out still remains a challenge in my opinion, but more and more restaurants are offering GF menus. Although good gluten free options are available now and labeling is improving by the...

    I am enjoying this series on the blog - although it must have taken an incredible amount of work to produce. The quality of the video and the photos is superb. Since my husband and I have our tried and true resorts, this will let me see what we have been missing. Port Orleans is one that I...
