Marriott Buffalo Niagara
Amherst, New York on Jun 12, 2015 to Jun 13, 2015 A hotwire purchase. My requirements as always are free parking and an indoor pool and boy did we strike gold. Free breakfast is a bonus and this place did not have it. This was a great stay at a great price. The pool...
Count Orloks Nightmare in Salem MA
Listed as around #6 in Trip Advisor, this was the first thing that was not a pure monument. The ratings review said it was more stationary and more of a museum vs a haunted house where things/people chase you. Yes its Count Orloks Nightmare in Salem MA. So on June...
Started the morning with breakfast in the hotel
Breakfast: Surpringly there was no fruit so I ate bagels. The breakfast is adequate but for a La Quinta, I expect more. The most annoying part is that they only have a standard size styrofoam cup so you cannot get much coffee at one time. We headed out by 9am Off to...
Acer Aspire 11.6″ Laptop ES111M-C7DE
I was looking for a decent laptop since my laptop had broken a few months ago (it was over 7 years old) and I was tired of being confined to the laptop. My only requirements were that I wanted a PC, Windows 7 or later, and a minimum of of a 200 GB hard drive. My...
First Night out of Gulf Shores April 9, 2015
We started calling places after eating dinner at a Waffle House. As always we got the travelers coupons at the rest areas which provide great coupons plus they are organized by highway. We struggled for awhile to find a hotel as most hotels were packed due to it being...
Snow Weather Travel
Cold weather is obliterating much of the country although it is 100% better than last year. The best part is that despite the cold, it has been very sunny almost every day while normally we go months without seeing the sun. The way people drive and get around still...
Atlanta Hawks Valentines 2015 special
The Hawks get 4 into the All Star Game, well deserved. The hawks get 2 of 8 into the skills challenge and one of 1 of 8 into the 3 point contest and one member in that other competition. All well deserved. I know I am paranoid but the outcome is what has me scared....
Sports Update February 8, 2015 Superbowl Aftermath
Wow, what a Superbowl. It is rare that I have been on the positive side of a dramatic ending. Having been on the losing end of it I can tell you I have nightmares of those endings throughout my life. I thought for sure I was going to be on the losing end of it. I'm...
Georgia is in
As I expected, Georgia is in. Fortunately the NCAA selection committee has run the way it is supposed to be and not by the so called analysts we see on TV like Bilas, Phelps, Lunardi, and Dick Vitale. These guys are very biased to the power conferences and especially...
Maybe its good the Falcons lost
That last game on December 28 against the Panthers was painful. It started off feeling like the calls were going against us. Then thankfully we lost in a blowout so the calls did not make much of a difference. All of the flaws of the season shown in full force. If we...
