Quantum Leap – Scott Bakula
February 2019 will be the 25th anniversary of one of the best moments of my life. I was introduced to Quantum Leap, the iconic 90’s TV series starring Scott Bakula, by my husband. I was a fan almost immediately. I subscribed to a fan magazine where I discovered that there conventions dedicated to the programme. I wouldn’t describe myself as a geek but I decided … Continue reading Quantum Leap – Scott Bakula

Walt Disney World Florida
Recently we visited Disney Springs, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and The Magic Kingdom. We were lucky with the weather and although armed with Niagara Falls Ponchos they weren’t required. For a UK visitor beginning of September proved to be a good time to visit. The schools are back so the parks were quieter and mostly adults with small children were the guests. We actually got on … Continue reading Walt Disney World Florida
Boston 23 Aug – Brand USA
After breakfast in the Mandarin which was $7 for coffee, $12 for two sausages or $35 for the buffet. It was good though.

I wasn’t sure about this choice to be honest because of the recent disaster in Missouri but the ceiling of the vehicle was loaded with life … Continue reading Boston 23 Aug – Brand USA

So as memories begin to fade I now have the opportunity to get down on a page what happened on 22 August in Boston.

The Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau pulled out all the stops in hosting our small group. There was a very large mini bus with blacked out windows waiting for us at Boston Back Bay Station. The very smartly dressed driver helped us load our luggage into the back as we took our seats to the Four Seasons Hotel on Boylston Street. Arriving at the Four … Continue reading Boston 21 August- Brand USA

We are staying in Champions Gate in a four bedroomed, three bathroom house with spa, pool and playroom.
