Choice Hotels Review
Choice Hotels Review For most of my career, I traveled the world, mostly staying in the finest hotels an area had to offer. Many 5 stars, some purporting to be 7 stars. Of course, there were some that claimed “5 star” and that simply meant there was a door with a lock on it, […]

Crocketts 1875 Breakfast Camp I’m big about avoiding tourist traps or “voted best XXX 10 years in a row.” Unless I specifically head out for one, of course, and Crocketts 1875 Breakfast Camp was just one such destination.

I do recall having powdered (dehydrated) eggs, which have been around for more than a hundred years. My experience was on Scout trips – the eggs were pretty awful. So I set out […]

Waffle House Review
I wrote a piece years back, after hitting a Waffle House shortly after 9/11. I recently dropped in on one on the Gulf Coast. BTW, I counted on a map, and there are about 30 in a 40 mile stretch along the coasts of MS and LA. Wow. I sat at the counter, sipping […]
