San Diego Here We Come

The trip started with us heading to the airport early Saturday morning to catch our Frontier flight to Denver. All was going well till we got to the gate and we were informed that the plan needed to have it’s tire changed. This resulted in a 4 hour delay which made us miss our connecting flight in Denver. So we talked to the gate agent who helped us change our flight.

Unfortunately, they cheated us out of the money we paid for upgraded seating, but at least we ended up with a flight to San Diego. It was not until we got on the plan did we find out that their were seats in the level we purchased that were available.

Due to Frontier our half exploring San Diego ended up us arriving to the City after a whole day of travel. We were exhausted so we just went to the hotel bar and grabbed a drink and some food.

This ended up being a wakeup call as the prices were way overpriced even for a hotel.

Heading out on the new mount out.

So the new ride has been test driven around the area, had it’s first service and is now ready to ride.

To break it in properly I am taking her out for a around trip of 1200 miles to Alabama. This should be fun and exciting.

More info to follow.

New Touring Vehicle

After years of my trusty stead

Taking me to all these great places.

It is being replaced with a more touring orient stallion.

With this new ride, I’ll be posting reviews of it and gear. Not to mention access to more great locations.

So stay tuned for more exciting reviews and travel locations.

Helen Georgia

What a cute little town. The town looks like a German town that was lifted out of Bavaria. There are amusement parks or activities for everyone. Not to mention great food.

From talking with locals, this is the destination for Octoberfest. People come from  wide and far to turn this into a great party.

Dahlonega Georgia

Hello everyone. Wanted to give some feedback on a recent trip to Dahlonega Gergia.

Dahlonega is situated northeast of Atlanta in the beautiful Smoke Mountains. The people are present and friendly.

The town square is alive with activity and place to stay and eat.

If you happen to be in the area you really should stop in on the little town.

Just a quick post

There are some exciting developments developments behind the scenes. We have a backlog of reviews to post as well as a new review topic. We have replaced an old friend that has been providing us transportation for some of our content with a new ride. We will be talking about it and accessories for it in future post.

So stay tuned more to come.

Magic Kingdom

I have fine some post on where we ate and done in Magic Kingdom but wanted to post a few thoughts and pics.

First off, way to many Stiller’s strollers. They are everywhere and a hazard to walking around. We got hit multiple times from stroller drivers not looking where they are going or not realizing how much room their strollers take up.

Second the park is expensive so get everything you can. Do not think about the outside world.

Here are a few pics.

One thing I had to break out was a wonderful example of how nature adapts.

On the way out am owl decided to saw goodbye.

Plaza Restaurant

After a long day of fun 😊. We hit the Plaza Restaurant for dinner. It’s a small restaurant near the castle in Magic Kingdom. The food is sandwiches and ice cream. This was probably the best value we have had in Disney. The French Dip was good with lots of meat and a tasty horseradish sauce.

French Dip

The better half grabbed a turkey sandwich.

Turkey Sandwich

Both were very good. If your looking not to break the bank and get something good to eat stop by the Plaza Restaurant.

Sunshine Tree Terrace

Is Disney hot in April, heck yes. So what are you to do. Stop at a number of ice cream shops that do the park and get something cool. A chocolate covered Mickey is always a treat.

Sunshine Tree Terrace is an example of those stops. We grabbed some soft serve while in the park to fight the heat.

As a reminder that although there are a lot of place that sell ice cream they do have differences. For example not so do soft serve.

Dinner at Todd English’s Bluezoo

After a fun day at Disney we decided to visit a restaurant at a nearby hotel. So to Todd English’s Bluezoo we tried.

We got a reservation and showed up a little early and stopped by the bar for a cocktail. The cockatiels were ok. The bar tender let the drinks set halfway through crafting to handle other customers which let the ice melt and water down the drinks. I normally take pictures of the drinks too share but the bar was too dark to take a good picture with out cameras. This brings up a point about the whole restaurant. The lights are turned down really low. It gives the impression that your eating in a cave or a restaurant that cannot pay their power bill.

For dinner we ordered an Angus steak and lobster pasta. Both were good but way over priced.

This is the $55 steak posts and mushrooms.

The food is good but the price to quality ratio is not here. Go somewhere else for food and drinks.

So to sum up Todd English’s Bluezoo, had good food but not worth the cost.
