I am on the Carnival Dream and we will take 2 days at sea to reach Montego Bay, Jamaica. So, I thought it would be a good time to do some research on our destination. Here are some of the interesting things I’ve found.
Visiting Sedona Arizona
New Orleans Museum of Art Masks
Last week I visited the New Orleans Museum of Art, otherwise known as NOMA, for the first time. NOMA is located in New Orleans City Park. City Park sits on an Island between Orleans Avenue Canal and Bayou St. John on, what New Orleanians call, "The North Shore". "The...
Winter Cruise of the Caribbean

Palatki Heritage Site Sedona Arizona

The Gardens of France
