September 28, 2009 in Events, Family Travel, Food Events, Outdoor Adventure, Shopping by Steven

Nightmare: Vampires – Haunted House in New York City

September 25, 2009 in Events, Ghost Tours, Holidays, New York Hotels by Steven
In a way, the folks at Nightmare in Manhattan, New York City are hard to predict, but in another way, they’re not. You see, they change up their attraction big time every year, so I can’t really tell you how good this year’s show is. But then again, I sort of can, because every year [...]

Wild Side Tours of Cocoa Beach, Florida

September 24, 2009 in Family Travel, Florida Hotels, Outdoor Adventure by Steven
Seems like every time we head to Florida we talk about some horizon-blotting, ecological footprint-having, multimillion dollar man-made thing – from Disneyworld to Universal Studios to the Kennedy Space Center. Don’t get me wrong, we love’em, but I thought we’d take a step back this time and let the natural beauty of the Florida coastline [...]

California Avocado Festival – October 2-4, 2009

September 21, 2009 in California Hotels, Events, Family Travel, Food Events, Outdoor Adventure by Steven
Sorry for the late notice on this one. I waited as long as I could for organizers to announce some final information, especially the concert schedule, but I fear if I wait any longer then no one will have time to put their plans together. Concerts or no, the 2009 California Avocado Festival in Carpinteria, California [...]

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando

September 18, 2009 in Events, Florida Hotels, Ghost Tours, Holidays by Steven
You can tell a good scare park by the names of the attractions. If they’re genuinely scary, or genuinely cheesy, you’re in for a good time. If they’re boring, well, then you’re not. With names like Leave it to Cleaver, Lights Camera Hacktion, and Horrorwood Die-In, it’s pretty obvious where Halloween Horror Nights at Universal [...]
