Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel to NYC

Look at the travel booking sites and if you find something that you might

site will allow you to reserve a room without...

first time visit to Puerto Rico

I'll admit that it's been about ten years since I was in PR but my

Dress Code in Las Vegas

LOL! Having lived in a few places in the USA (including Boston and North
Carolina) and having visited almost every state I've long since learned that
pronunciation is pretty fluid. Also, one of...

Dress Code in Las Vegas

I think it's an age thing, too. I remember way back when that flip-flops
were called thongs. That was long before proper young ladies wore underwear
that are called tongs. (BTW, we called...

Route 66 and the Arctic circle

You might be right! I do remember going through Amarillo and a bunch of
other towns and cities that I probably would have by-passed if the
interstate had been open. (That was back when I was...

Gulf Coast sights?

Brian, MTV! Thanks for the ideas. We like everything from eating, to
history, to gardens, to casinos. Looks like we might need more than a
couple of days. Beaches are great, too, but I'm...

Route 66 and the Arctic circle

You're probably right! I grew up in St. Louis but I only drove on the St.
Louis - California part of the road on a trip in about 1965/1966. I don't
remember how much of 66 was left by...

Route 66 and the Arctic circle

What most people don't know is that Route 66 was not one highway from the
time it was first designated as 66 to when it faded with the advent of the

I haven't lived in Massachusetts in 20+ years but when I did live there they
had a red and yellow at the same time, too. I don't recall for sure but I

Smoking on Caribbean Islands?

RIP rec.travel.usa-canada.
