Four Star and Four Diamond the Peabody Orlando is not your typical convention hotel. It’s beautiful. Recently renovated the details are exquisite, the staff well trained and friendly. It’s comfortable and convenient. The famous Peabody Duck logo can be seen throughout the hotel, the soap, the pastries, the linens, etched in the glass entry doors or on the marble elevator floor. It adds a touch of whimsy to the elegantly appointed modern decor.
More GREAT baked goods from our Director of Marketing, Vicky Akins! These cookies have become famous around here. My daughter’s friends (who doesn’t like pumpkin) will make a special trip over if they know I’m baking them. They’re guaranteed to melt in your mouth. They’re also a great way to get rid of that pumpkin you meant to carve but never got around to. Pumpkin Cookies (My variation of Nestle’s www.verybestbaking.com) 2 1/2 c. all purpose flour 1 tsp baking [...]
We love to cook, probably a direct result of loving to eat. We have lots of friends who share our passion, several are professional chefs, and a few are cookbook authors. We have collected cookbooks as far back as we can remember. Many a Saturday afternoon spent looking through cookbooks old and new. Whenever the opportunity arises to meet a chef we admire or who’s cookbook we have we jump at the chance. Cat Cora was no exception. Celebrating her [...]

It’s not every day that you see a Motel that advertises “Color TV”! Just across the street from the Tampa Taco Bus, we discovered this motel that not only has color TV, but offers clean rooms, weekly rates, & a pool! And should you have poor cell reception in your room, notice the pay phone located under the motel’s sign for your convenience. Obviously guest safety is a priority as the safety cover over the swimming pool is one of [...]
It’s not every day that you see an outdoor laundromat. Who wants to be all cooped up while waiting on their laundry? May as well get a little fresh air. Though this is an outdoor establishment, this laundromat adheres to building codes and providing customers with an emergency side exit. In case you get any bright ideas about leaving your two-year-old at the laundromat while you go shopping, take note of the sign on the inside wall that says, “We [...]
In-Flight Tech: Which Airlines Have the Best? By Paul Eisenberg Published October 04, 2010 | FoxNews.com Remember years ago when airlines first made seatback telephones available and you couldn’t get through a flight without overhearing a fellow passenger say, “You’ll never guess where I’m calling from!” Or think about your first time using the touchscreen in the seatback in front of you to play an in-flight trivia game against fellow passengers. Do you recall how good it felt to finally [...]

There was no shortage of entertainment on the Alaska Twitter trip sponsored by Princess Cruises. After returning from an incredible helicopter ride and glacier landing, we attended a fun filled dinner theatre. The same wait staff who served our BBQ, were the cast members in the musical, “The Music of Denali”. Somehow the cast coaxed me up on stage – thankfully for the audience they didn’t ask me to sing anything. I just had to sit there and look good:) [...]
Kodak … Remember the 1970’s and Paul Anka’s very touching “The Times of Your Life” “The seasons are passing one by one So gather moments while you may Collect the dreams you dream today Remember, will you remember The times of your life?” To this day every time we hear that song we think of Kodak and that very inspiring commercial. The older we get, the more precious our memories become and the more important each and every photo is. [...]

You probably won’t find it in any of the tourists brochures but the Tampa Taco Bus in Tampa, FL is a MUST!!

The food was so good, I dove right in and ate it all before I remembered to take a picture. They are open 24/7, and as the sign says, “Broken English Perfectly Spoken.” Indoor and outdoor dining is available, [...]
