Point Pinos Lighthouse, Pacific Grove, California.

Point Pinos Lighthouse, Pacific Grove, California.

This particular sight seeing location is very close to Asilomar State Beach and Conference Center, one of our favorite vacation spots located in Pacific Grove, California.  This light house is open from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM weekdays and weekends.  It costs $2 to enter and look around.  The rooms are quite small.  In the basement is a very small room showing the Fresnel lens technology.  When we visited, they were restoring some portions.   Phone Number: 831-648-3176Web site: http://www.pointpinoslighthouse.org/…

Walt Disney World, Orlando Impressions

Walt Disney World, Orlando Impressions

Our family has stayed in two of Walt Disney World Resort locations, Old Key West and the Treehouse Villas within the Saratoga Springs Resort with a number of years in between.  Our accommodations were pretty top drawer so I can only present my viewpoint from those experiences.  I am not being paid or have I received any form of payment or considerations for presenting these views.  What follows is my honest  impressions. It seems to me that someone with a…

My daughter has an annual pass to Disneyland.  As a Christmas gift, my daughter had the idea of having dad give mom an annual pass to Disneyland so mother and daughter could go to the park together.  My daughter went on line and using dad’s credit card purchased a Deluxe Annual Passport with parking, not a trivial amount of money.  We never received e-mail confirmation.  I called a day later and after a very long hold time, due to being…

The Cypress Hotel in Cupertino, California (Yelpers report this location has closed)

Our family stayed at The Cypress Hotel in Cupertino, California April 2010.  We strongly recommend this hotel.  Here are the reasons why.  The location was simply perfect.  We tried to find a location that was central to Santa Rose, Stockton, and San Francisco.  We chose San Jose but my daughter did not like my choice of hotels in San Jose.  She picked The Cypress Hotel in Cupertino.  The city has a relatively low crime rate.  It is nestled among some…

Maui Impressions.

Maui Impressions.

Here a few impressions of our Maui trip: As we drove from the airport to our resort on the  west end of the island, I was a bit shocked to see the land from highway 30 inward to be dry, almost desert looking while the resorts, hotels, residential and commercial properties that typically occupied the space between the highway and the sea were green, even lush in composition at times. You can feel rain droplets coming down upon you but…

Paradise Point, San Diego

Paradise Point, San Diego

This resort is still being evaluated and this review will possibly change. The grounds are luscious, jungle like, quite nice. The front desk service was perfect. The bell hop service was wonderful.  Benjamin lead us to our room.  He rode in a long golf cart that was able to carry quite a number of passengers.  He rode ahead leading our vehicle to our room.  He put our luggage into our room for us.  I would not let him leave until…
