A New Year Golf Gift

New Year's Eve fireworks in ParisImage via WikipediaWe spent New Year's day with some special friends. Of course, we spent it over a lunch of fine food and fine wine. They too, love to play golf.

They surprised us with a fun gift of:  Golfing - The Golfers Journal - Write It Down! Memories Are All That's Left - Live, Love, Laugh . . . (Author: Barbara Morina)

It's a fun journal.  Next big question. I've kept scorecards for the last year or so, should I go back and try to reconstruct the past year in the journal?!

Sending Back Dishes - Lively Debate

Updated August 8, 2023:  The original link broke.

I'm finally getting around to sharing this.  I happened to rediscover this while cleaning out a bunch of bookmarked items.

For heaven's sake people, do you really act this badly in restaurants?!

Sending back dishes: In(comp)etent, (comp)licated or (comp)letely crazy?

I'm of the opinion that patrons too often try to get a free ride. Is that what you're seeing in restaurants?

Learn The Language Of Your Travel Destination

We love studying languages. This article resonates with me, Vacationing in a native tongue - More Americans include language learning in travel plans.

Bottomline, put some effort into learning the language of your travel destination, and your experience will be magnified beyond imagination!

Solution For US Credit Cards Not Working In Europe

Credit cardsImage via Wikipedia
Updated July 29, 2023

The original link broke.

You can still read about the same topic here:

---  the original post follows below  ---

We recently visited Germany and found it frustrating that many of our US issued credit cards wouldn't work.

What we ran into was the microchip and PIN technology that is standard in credit cards in Europe, but not in our American credit cards.

To the rescue for US travellers, Bound for Europe? New microchip card caters to Americans. 
"The new Cash Passport card can be bought in either euros or pounds from Travelex retail stores. They will also be sold online next year from the www.US.Travelex.com website, which also lists Travelex retail store locations."

Hope For Wine Allergy Sufferers

In a nutshell, about 8 percent of the world's population can’t sip wine without suffering symptoms of a bad cold. Sulfites cause symptoms in about 1 percent of that group, and a new substance, glycoproteins (sugar-coated proteins), are now being blamed for the other 7 percent.

Mike Lupica To Tiger - ... Sing


Everytime I turn on the TV to see how Tiger is doing in a tournament, if he's not in contention, I'm certainly less interested.

As Mr. Lupica says, "Shut up and sing."

Golf Hawaii - NCL Pride of America

A picture of the cruise ship MS Pride of AmericaImage via Wikipedia
Updated October 21, 2024

Sadly, the original link broke.

---  the original post follows below  ---

We just got back yesterday from our Hawaii cruise with NCL's Golf Hawaii Program aboard Pride of America.

The cruise ship started/ended in Honolulu Oahu, and visited the islands of Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai. We played on Oahu before joining the cruise, and played 4 times throughout the cruise. This was our first experience with a golf excursion arranged through the cruise ship.

In a nutshell, the golf experience was wonderful and far exceeded our expectations. Here's why:
  1. The onboard PGA golf pro, Cory McKim, was the utmost golf professional.
  2. He joined us on all the golf outings, making sure the transporation, and golf arrangements for each course was smooth sailing.
  3. I've been playing for less than a year and found Cory's teaching style perfect for me, while out on the course, back on the ship's "golfing cage", and during the video analysis of my swing out on the course.

Chez Panisse - The Head Chefs

Chez PanisseImage via WikipediaWhen I hear the restaurant name, Chez Panisse, I usually jump to the name of Alice Waters. But wait, there are some other key players, namely the head chefs, David Tanis and Jean-Pierre Moulle'.

Tanis just published his new book, Heart of the Artichoke and Other Kitchen Journeys, that is a sequel to his A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes. The new book continues and expands on the idea and feeling of intimate French dinners, for small, medium, and large gatherings.
