In conception, this is a travel channel, but I post some random things as well. They might be about my cats. Still learning. After traveling often to the same places, at age 64, I decided to have some adventures. Come along!
Let's Look At Lights! Meadowlark Botanical Garden in Virginia
On the day with the shortest period of daylight in 2024, we walked through the display of Winter lights at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Wolf Trap, Virginia. Here's what we saw.
I'm a little disappointed by the video quality in the first part of the video. It improves.

Kimpton Lodged Me. Iron Chefs Fed Me. And I Found Good Coffee. Philadelphia was a Good Short Trip!
Просмотров 3914 дней назад
In November, 2024, so that we could have a family meal after Thanksgiving, we traveled to Philadelphia. We spoiled ourselves staying in the Old City, with short walks to Morimoto and Amara from the Kimpton Monaco Hotel. This video shows those experiences AND points you at a coffee shop we were very happy to discover.

Finding Good Beer in Isafjordur, Iceland on an NCL Star Cruise
We are on the Star in about 3 months, but heading to the warm Canary Islands instead of Iceland. (We spent a week in Iceland in 2023). Great video. I am looking forward to seeing the Star in person.
Hello! I was playing drums in the show band on that cruise! We accompanied the production shows and guest entertainers and played sets in the Gatsby's Lounge. Glad you enjoyed your cruise! My next contract will be on Regent Grandeur in April. :)
Oh that’s awesome! All the performers work so hard and just can’t get enough recognition. Thank you!
VERY NICE video
@@ricardoochoa9175 - thank you for watching.
Love this band. Lucky I got to see them last week in my home town.
@@RichardOliver - they are so nice, too! I hope you got to say hello.
I'm pretty sure the riot on Jan 6 woke up the Demon Cat
Naming an ally is devastating work lmao

Fun trip!
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.
@@manuelantonioserodio5932 - thank you for taking a moment to comment. It matters a lot to me!
Cheer~~~to an unwarranted degree--- inordinately.(highly cost???)😅
I can’t say you’re wrong.
SAW THE TITLE, WATCHED AND SUBSCRIBED. NEXT TIME YOU COME, GO TO LAJAS AND CABO ROJO.❤❤❤
@@carmencastellano8575 - I need to!!!
Watched till the end best friend! Haha.. Gracias por visitar la isla!
No thank you!
Hi! Thank you for visiting us! Next time please visit “La ruta del lechón “ in Guavate you past by when you went to Ponce.
@@linda-wi1oz - thank you! And there WILL be a next time!
@ you are welcome!
Good video. Thanks. I do have a suggestion, your titles are not staying on the screen long enough. Very difficult to read before they disappear. Anyway, good work otherwise. 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks. Good suggestion. I’ll tell you something about that I regret. I googled the right length of time for captions and then did what it said, and you’re the second person to say they’d be better up longer. So next video they will be! And thank you so much for watching!
@@DaveGoesPlaces Thanks! 👍👍👍
Thank you for posting this video! We were on the same cruise, and actually appear a few times in your video!
Oh my! I hope that’s ok with you, as I normally try to minimize the times you clearly see other faces. In any case, it was a great time, wasn’t it!
It really was! And you did a great job at that, so no worries! We were on the same arctic fox excursion… you might recall my three year daughter running all around and dancing a bit during the music in the church. The entire trip was great!
@ - I DO!!!
Me, six minutes in: DONDE ESTAN LOS MICHIS??? So, no, you didn't overemphasize the cats.
This both pleases and disappoints me.😹
Thanks for sharing your trip....but I thought you would go to T Mobile District and our west to Rincon which is the place to go... Lots of out of towers settling in... Surfing ..bars restaurants and quaint town with great beach and lighthouse
@ - too little time, so much to do! I hope to get there next time. Other family members rented a home in Rincon a different time and loved it.
I had fun at Harrah's casino Vegas the dueling piano bar starts at 9:00 p.m. they have a $10 electronic craps game where you actually throw the dice a lot of fun. Also Dave the sax man and his brother at the piano bar 3to6pm the Best Free show in Vegas just pay for drinks
@@jeffnoble9757 - that’s a GREAT tip! Thanks!
Super video
Thank you!
Harrahs used to be fun. Not anymore. I used to get all kinds of free stays there, and I barely even played. Now they charge for every little tiny thing they do. Not tourist frindly anymore. But they have all gotten that way.
@@mistervacation23 - I miss the beads!
Ive seen these ladies 4 times and they are incredible every time. Festival, opener, headliner, they are the goats.
.
I love it and hate it at the same time. Your captions last such a short time that you can't read it in such a short of time. Maybe you should have no captions at all .. Just look in the mirror. You could be great and be better than most creators but you lack terribly for this one simple oversight. So sad.
I appreciate that point. I’ll keep it in mind for the future. Sorry it proved too fast.
Welcome to the Hanabie. fan club! I got to see them in Columbus (headliner) and in Denver. The ladies do not disappoint, can't wait til the next US tour!
@@saladinboss2507 - I need to see them headline.
@@DaveGoesPlaces it was pretty awesome. They played for about 1 hrs 15 mins and had more crowd interaction. I also got to meet them at both shows. The ladies are really sweet.
I had the VIP package for Baltimore, but we couldn’t get to the venue in time. I was so frustrated.
@DaveGoesPlaces im sure they will do the VIP again on the next tour. Hopefully you can make it. Just make sure you have your pose picked out for your photo with them. Lol
I love the Ramsay’s Kitchen restaurant there but very $$$. I wish Harrah’s went back to $5 and $10 Craps tables.
Just stayed at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe, the hotel is worn out and dumpy.
I have concerns about other Harrah’s properties too. I’m glad you let me know!
Im tweaking😂
We're they friendly?
You could ALMOST pet them, and they did approach you or let you approach them.
Yes, you did' it again! 😂😂😂😂😂
A 43 minute taxi time seems much higher than normal. The average taxi time-in is 13.5 minutes at ORD. Also, the current United terminal didn't exist 40 years ago.
This makes a lot of sense! Thank you. That 43 minute taxi, coupled with the smoke from the training, had me a little on edge.
Chicago Bad!
I find the ORD airport buildings to be fine, it's the taxi times that are the issues. Personally, you can't beat ATL for both the airport and efficiency.
A positive vote for Atlanta! And I see your point.
86 segments on United YTD with about 15 connections in Chicago, plus another 15 between American, Contour, Spirit. I prefer ORD to a lot of places. United Clubs are good (especially the new one on C), distances aren't horrible, things are well marked and concessions are fairly decent. Worst in the world in Charlotte.
That’s a great deal of experience! Ok, so let’s flip this. What’s your favorite major airport?
Very good video. This march we travelled from Buenos Aires to Santiago de Chile, and after Punta Arenas we had winds of 70 knots for about 6 hours. Quite Rocky. Quite an adventure. It's a very good ship
Captain Luigi actually mentioned that as a comparison for when it was worse! Wow, you must have really had an adventure! Thanks for watching, btw!
Everything is closed on Sundays except the shops, but even some of the shops are close to.
Exactly. So NCL just changing the date of the excursion really just created an impossible situation.
Dang. 25ish bucks, before tax and tip for 3 little street tacos with a side of rice and beans. I'll stay home and make gringo tacos. lol
Thanks for the video! I’ll be on the Star - God willing - in September 2026, doing a Northern Europe cruise from Reykjavik to Southampton (10 days) so it was nice seeing the ship herself and the various locations. And you earned a sun. 😊 One thing should you hopefully see this. Did you say Hotel Borg is where you stayed. And on doing some preliminary research, I know that transportation might take a bit of organizing. You mentioned the ride to the port was pricey. Any recommendations? Thanks again and I look forward to your other videos.
I liked Hotel Borg very much. They arranged our transport and it struck me as a lot (like $60 for about 4 miles!) but it was very easy and time mattered. I didn’t ever identify any better choices though. You’ll love the cruise!
@@DaveGoesPlaces I appreciate the info. 😊 I’m doing Alaska next year, but I’m already doing a bit of research for the Star cruise so I’m glad I found you!
@@TinaBiebe- we just did Alaska! 😊 I have some Alaska videos up and more coming. It’s a fun contrast.
Underrated AF
Those menus were disgustingly filthy. I can only hope the kitchen was cleaner and you don't become ill. I lived in Eagle River and worked in Anchorage in the late eighties. Very few good restaurants. I can only hope its improved.
I think what you saw may have been a shadow. I certainly don't recall the menus being dirty. The food itself was really good, and I definitely saw a lot of interesting LOOKING places to eat. But you know, I'm sure not going to discount your experiences after being there for a whopping one day.
@@DaveGoesPlaces Well, that's good to hear. I'm happy you enjoyed the food. USAF stationed at Elmendorf AFB 87 to 89. Must be a very different place now.
I was looking to go on this exact cruise but ended up going on NCL Star that sailed from Reykjavík to NYC on July 27th. The only reason I did not go on this one was my son had to attend summer school in June. You are lucky that only one port got cancelled. For us, two Iceland ports were cancelled due to the weather. Captain Luigi told us that we had to get out of the storm that was forming between Iceland and Greenland. :(
That part of the world is fascinating to me at least in part because of its unpredictability, but two missed ports is a lot.
At 5:18, does that bear have a tapeworm?
@@Kothag - ooh I better go back and look!
Wow - that was interesting. I will be sailing on the Star next August - hoping and praying that we don't encounter a storm!!! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Where do you recommend to stay there
It really depends on budget. If you can, I’d spring for the American Trade Hotel. But we stayed in the less expensive Plaza Paitilla Hotel, about 5 miles away. We loved its views. The thing is, Ubers were like $6, so being right in Casco Viejo was not a detriment to visiting it.
Nice tour! Thanks!
Beautiful shots…….
Yeah we believe the tracks sparked and caused the fire, we had no concern of closing for the season but our power lines took a hit from the flames that’s what had us closed for 3 days lol I was more so worried about the national park the river separated us so I wasn’t concerned of the fire crossing over, it was a crazy crazy day I was working normal as always and spotted a small fire in the mountain and in less than a hour we were out of power 😂
Oh wow. Thanks for adding details!
I love you Timmy Tommy
I've been to Tromsø 3 times (and I'm briefly going there again in december) and I really love the place. Just outside of town, on the other side of the bridge, there's a cable car which takes you up to a viewing platform which overlooks Tromsø and the surrounding area that's well worth a visit if you go back.
I definitely want to go back! Have you been in winter by chance?
Great job Dave, thanks for sharing!
We will be on the Star next May-June and doing the same itinerary (Iceland-Norway-Denmark), so this was very cool (no pun intended) to watch. It actually answered my questions about what we might expect weather-wise and sea-wise at that time of year. Great job! We're pretty excited for our trip.
You’ll have a great time!
Recently traveled on the Star and had a similar experience. The last day became a sea day because of weather and it was rough. Captain Luigi brought us safely to our final destination and I appreciated how forthcoming he was with information. It was an enjoyable voyage.
Hey Candice! Agreed! The smaller ports were worth the effort to come via tender boats. I felt so safe with Cap'n Luigi, and the Star did a great job in rough seas.
Wooow! Let's go Dave, you deserve it. Thanks for sharing
