The outside has a high end big screen TV under a large awning if needed/desired. The blue is accent lighting that is easily adjustable. The entire coach runs on a Crestron home system like we have in our Las Vegas home. From the iPad we can adjust all lights, doors, TVs, climate, shades etc. This […]
It seems like people we know head to Dallas when they come to the DWF area. So, we thought it would be fun to head to Ft Worth. Their famous cattle drive right down the street was the primary impetus. It is no surprise that the Fort Worth Stockyards Historic District is on the National Register […]
On the way we stopped at a park in Ozona, Tx, Crockett County for a photoshoot with a David (not Davy) Crockett statue. Walt Disney invented Davy Crockett to make some money. David was a real person. He was a Tennessee Senator about to be impeached by the voters back home. Rather than face his […]
Big Bend is one the largest, most remote, and one of the least visited national parks in the contiguous United States. It is not very well known. It is probably as desolate a place as I have ever been to, although so cool. Being off season, it was especially quiet. We started out taking the incredible 30 […]
You may think this is crazy to have a Prada store in the middle of Far West Texas. It would be, but it is actually just art and, that alone, is crazy enough out in the middle of nowhere. It isn’t even in Marfa which is 30 miles away. I have wanted to see Prada […]

It is a World Heritage Site. In 1959, the motion picture Journey to the Center of the Earth with Pat Boone and James Mason was filmed there. Barry’s simple cave […]
We started our day in Bisbee, 30 minutes down the road from Tombstone with a tour of the Cooper Queen Mine. In 1877 men were sent here to search for renegade Apaches. Instead they found minerals. Out of that grew Bisbee, “Queen of the Copper Camps”. Population grew to over 25,000 and when reserves were […]
Tombstone, AZ is definitely extremely touristy, yet perfect for a one-day visit. Afterall that is the home of the shootout at The OK Coral in 1881 where the three Earp Brothers and Doc Holliday took down Billy Clanton and the McLaury brothers. Although Sheriff John Behan of Cochise County, who witnessed the shootout, charged […]
Hi again. Allyn and I are back on the road and will be reporting often as we are taking a 41-day road trip from Las Vegas to Miami via 45 ft RV with driver and tow car, and then catch the Crystal Serenity for a 128 Grand Voyage, Miami to Miami. We return May 13. […]
We give the Canadian Rockies an A+ for beauty! Unfortunately, we feel that the Rocky Mountaineer, Gold Leaf Service is a total rip off.They represent the Gold leaf (extra cost) service is “The Height of Luxury” and “Five Star Comfort”. Not even close. Poor service started way before we left with literally waiting hours (true) […]
