We had some DVC points to burn before the end of the year, so we booked an overnight at Disney’s Grand Californian. With the crowds being what they are these day, a weekend at Disneyland isn’t the fun that it used to be, but a night at Disneyland puts us into day trip distance of Los Angeles.
In the time we had, we barely scratched the surface of Griffith Observatory, and plan on returning for a much longer visit. If you only have day there, plan on spending at least four hours, particularly if you’re going to see the theater shows.
Karalee makes some spicy chicken wings
We’re a couple who really enjoy good food. We’ve dined at white table cloth restaurants literally all over the world. But, despite all the wonderful cuisine we’ve enjoyed, it’s the simple things that we really enjoy – grilled cheese, hot dogs and chicken wings, to name a few.
Karalee found a spice packet in the pantry that we picked up somewhere long ago and used it to make some great wings.
Accessibility at the Skyways Hotel
On the way home from our cruise we returned to the Skyways Hotel. Because of our late arrival, we were assigned the accessible room, and it impressed us a great deal.
We travel to Kiel, Germany
The Skyways Hotel
On the way to our Baltic Sea voyage, we flew from Los Angeles to Dallas to London to Copenhagen. But, our flight out of LAX was early, so we stayed at the Skyways Hotel near the airport. On first blush, the place looking a little scary, but this was definitely one book not to be judged by its cover. A charming courtyard, a delicious restaurant and a lovely room make the Skyways Hotel a the perfect place to stay if you’re flying out of LAX at the crack of dawn.
