Review of Frontier airlines and Spirit Airlines

Well, I must say Frontier and Spirit have been getting a bad rap. I had the opportunity to fly both of these these a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised.

Call P G & E

The weather is changing – aww too quickly for me. You should call PG&E to have them come out and check your heaters NOW. If you wait until the day you need it PG&E may take 4-5 days to get there. So, call them now so you can be prepared. While they are at your […]

Update – 7th Annual My May Cruise

I have never been to “Nawlins.” One of my travel buddies, (Carolyn) who went on the 6th Annual My May Cruise, suggested perhaps we start looking at US destinations and she suggested New Orleans. Well, since I had never been I agreed; thus, the 7 day cruise for May 15 – May 22, 2016 AND [&hel

BOYCOTT NAPA WINE TRAIN

By now many of you have heard what happened to a group of book club members, who all happen to Black women, while riding the Napa Wine Train. As the “word of mouth story” goes the women were laughing too loud and were asked to get off the train in the middle of nowhere. They […]
