Trip Planing Sunday Brunch, Hotels, Dates, Sights, Coffeeshops, Cupcakes, Jetskis, Sailing boats, and Parties with Friends. I need a vacation!!!

It's only about a month away,
Before the Boys return to play,
and get us some more Red King Crab!!


Lots of Delights today,
...Though CB must stay away.....
......From these Beautiful Deviled Eggs. (Shrimp Allergy)
The Chefs in the Kitchen have been working hard for weeks,
But still managed to make Crepes with Apples and walnut meats..........(yeah, OK, Stretching I know)
The Fish steak and shrimp all look Delish...........
..............But what really matters is what's on your Dessert Dish!!!
Now, On to CB's UK Trek!!
The Cardiff Hotel Decision has been Made. It will be the Saint David's Hotel & Spa. The Vote on the Blog was overwhelming for it, and plus they have private Balconies!!
And Really, Just look at it!!! SOOOOOOO Cool!!!!
So, For those who want to know..........
I spend a few Days in Seattle..........
Then on to London. From there I rent a car and drive to ...........

Junior was off today, But we can not have Sunday Brunch Without him so here is a i-Phone Picture from yesterday.
I am always taxed with bringing the Coffee to the safety meeting At Unisea so this week instead of making the Mocha's, Cap's and Lattes myself I went to our little local Coffee shop. The Picture of the little shop did not turn out but here is it's menu..........
If You are not Reading April's Blog Over at http://aprildawnpelkey.blogspot.com/ Shame on you!! She is now Pregnant and having cravings so when she had one for Cupcakes CB made sure she got them on the next plane from Dutch. See the End of the story over on her Blog.
Went walking with CD the other night for some quiet relaxation. Then a Helicopter, Jet ski, Powerboat and Sailing ship on Engines went by...............

Which Hotel Should CD Choose in Cardiff? Hilton Cardiff or the Saint David Hotel and Spa?

Ok, So CB has MOST of his United Kingdom Trip planned out to the minute, with the exception if his stay in the BEAUTIFUL city of .............
....CARDIFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best cities in the UK, From Castles, to BBC to
................. To TORCHWOOD Cardiff has it all!!!
I have narrowed down my Hotel Choices to Two:
The Saint David's Hotel and Spa...............
http://www.stdavidshotelcardiff.co.uk/?gclid=CI268diE2ZwCFRESawodrlS6vA
Or The Hilton Cardiff...........
I can get both for about the Same Price. Reviews are pretty equal online, and both are in great Locations. Therein lies the problem. The Hilton Is RIGHT accross the street from the Castle and The Saint David is Right by Millenium Center (Torchwood)
If ANYONE has stayed in either I would like your advice. Heck I am listening to all so jump on the websites and check them out.
I really want to have this all sorted out by Sunday.
Thanks
CB

HAPPY WEDNESDAY DAY!! And a Thank You / Promo


OK, So I wanted Cake. And Not MY cake for once. I wanted one with that thick, super sugary, white Bakery icing on a Chocolate cake. So I have made a new Holiday! Today, the First Wednesday in September, is now "Happy Wednesday Day".
I have Pot Roast, Rice, Potatoes and French Bread to go with the Cake. I am going to say that this is a Carb Heavy Holiday to prepare us for the chillier nights of Fall. Sounds Reasonable Right?
So, To you all: "HAPPY WEDNESDAY DAY".
Now, On to a Thank You / Promo for
Passport123.com!!!
What a great group of people and a fantastic Service!!
I needed to get my Passport quickly and within 5 business days of starting I have it in my Hand.
How Cool is that? The price was reasonable for the service they provide, and the Customer Service was Great. They called and quickly cleared up two issues and like I said, FAST!!!
If anyone needs a new Passort or to get theirs Renewed FAST go to these folks!!
Also a thank you to Lauri over at the library and at
For her help on this end being the Authorized Passport Agent on this end of the GVT.
Go stop by her blog and give her some love since her hubby is out fishing right now for a month.
Once again "Happy Wednesday Day!"

Sunny Sunday Walk, CD, Junior, Juno, MS, Dills and CB out in the 62 Degree heat, A Benetton Ad Unalaska Style and Junior and Juno's First Apartment.

Its a Beautiful day up Dutch Harbor way...........
Though not as nice as Sunday.........
..........when the hunt for Beach Glass was well underway

CD, Dills, Junior and Juno and little Miss MS went out exporing with CB that day........
.....to see what could be found Little South America Way.........
I took a shot that could be in Ambercrombie and Fitch ...........
........While Dills indulged in his passions of Fire and smashing glass..........
Young love way down past Juno on the Beach..........
....I guess MS does not mind dead Starfish reek.............
Huge block of Pumice washed up by the storm..........
Floating in water.........quite odd for a stone.
And Juno and Junior have got a new place..........
........though small and cramped it does have some perks..........
A wonderful View........
...........all around their place........
.......nice neighbors.........
...........and it is even Landscaped!!

Hope you all enjoyed this little break.......

Now get back to work..........not a moment to waste!!!
