Nearly Ten Years Later: My First Cruise

As I’m planning on taking my boyfriend on his first cruise in just over two months, and because we are also seriously considering a cruise in Europe for next year, I thought it would be a good idea to remember the first cruise I ever took. Mind you, I sailed on this cruise nearly ten years ago–August 13, 2000, to be exact–so my memories are a bit clouded with the passage of time. I was 17 years old the first time I cruised, and of course it was my parents who planned the trip

LOST’s 100th episode party features cake from Ace of Cakes

If you’re a fan of ABC’s hit show LOST you might want to add Jorge Garcia’s blog (He plays lovable Hurley on the show) to your list of regular reads. Yesterday Garcia posted some pictures of the cake Duff and the crew from FoodTV’s Ace of Cakes show baked to celebrate the 100th episode of Disney’s popular television series. Sounds like Jorge even had a hand in making it happen.

Disney in Review - What Works

This was our 8th Disney World trip as a family.  We’ve got this down to a science.  Here are my best trip tips. Disney’s Fort Wilderness Cabins - if you have a large family or a child with autism, this is the way to go!  The mobile home sized cabin features a bedroom with a full sized bed and a set of bunk beds, a murphy bed in the living area, a full kitchen (full size fridge, microwave, stove, dishwasher, dishes, pots and pans, dining table for 6), two tvs, and most important of all - space between cabins so your kids aren’t always waking the neighbors! Two-way Radios - if your party needs to split, these make it so much easier.  Light Your Way - a few years ago I was looking for a cool way to decorate our golf cart and stumbled on electroluminescent wire, or EL wire.  I purchased one and discovered it worked best on Adrian’s wheelchair.  When we turn it on, people take notice - and move out of the way!  When we started bringing Zee’s stroller too I bought one for that too.  Now people move out of our way and they know we’re together so they don’t step between us.  It also makes it easier for the girls to spot us and stay with us in the crowds.
