Galena Weekend
Everyone I know who has visited Galena raves about what a great place it is. Well, all I knew about Galena was Ulysses S. Grant once lived there and worked in his father’s leather store. So when I learned a Paranormal Conference was scheduled, I thought it the perfect excuse for my husband and me to find out what all the hullabaloo was about.
Airports with the Friendliest Staff
Where can you find the friendliest airport staff? According to Upgraded Points, at Portland International Airport. The travel company’s study focused on the 50 busiest airports, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Upgraded Points then analyzed Google and Yelp reviews for each airport, noting mentions of “friendly” or “rude” staff or TSA. Mentions were compared to the total number of reviews to calculate a ratio of positive to negative interactions, with each airport scored on a scale of 0 to 5 based on the ratio of positive mentions, for a possible score of 50.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination
Last year I was perusing travel websites looking for a good deal somewhere tropical, and I didn’t have a specific destination in mind. Lo and behold, I came across a great Memorial Day sale at an all-inclusive resort, Occidental at Xcaret Destination in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Since it was such a great deal, I shared my find with a large group of friends, and 11 of us booked the six-night trip for April.
Touring Half Moon Cay, Bahamas
Our last stop on my Holland America cruise trip was to Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, a private island surrounded by crystal-clear water. While my excursion for this port was a kayaking trip, a bad storm was expected to come through by the end of the day, making the seas rather rough and the wind strong.
A Local Chicago Tourist
Because of C2E2, a bunch of my nonlocal friends stayed at Hyatt McCormick Place. Even though I live just north of Chicago, I joined them, knowing I'd be spending so much time there all weekend.
A Weekend of Cheese and More
One of the events my husband and I always look forward to in the spring here in the Rogue Valley is the Oregon Cheese Festival.
