Fly me to the moon
It is definitely becoming more of a reality. Right now you can’t get to the moon but you can get to fly up into space for six whole hours while you are served gourmet food and wine and watch the galaxy. Wow – I am not kidding.

Queen for a day
There is no doubt that Queen Elizabeth has certainly been in our thoughts lately – and what a reign she had – imagine 70 years of being Queen. It is a huge job! But it got me to thinking about when I had the chance to be a queen – for a day. Let me… Continue reading Queen for a day
Sea legs?
Are you a good sailor or are you one of the unfortunates that suffer from motion sickness? Back in the day, there wasn’t much you could do about that.
