We got to see UK roots reggae band Steel Pulse last week in Pinellas Park of all places. A little history as this band played Wembley Stadium in front of 50,000 people for Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday. Some of the original members are still around and they played all the old hits. Glad to catch them one more time as it was a great show!

Part two of our Canyon Country Adventure to Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park and the Las Vegas strip. Call, email, text or DM to ask about USA escorted tours to National Parks and attractions. Our America's 250th was fantastic with our visit to the parks with Globus Tours.

I totally agree with Arnie. What do you think of travel cliche's? PS, I never travel with "purpose" as I am one of those people who goes by the adage that "All who wander are not lost!"

Another instance where booking direct is a pain in the backside. Make sure you take the credit card used for booking to the airport with you or get denied boarding. I noticed in this article that this policy is not applied to Travel Agency tickets as we always verify the owners of a given card at time of purchase, only online tickets.

Passenger calls out inconsistencies in Delta Air Lines' confusing credit card policy following a bizarre experience.
