Taking a cruise with the elderly - prepare, prepare, prepare.
Taking a cruise with the elderly can be the trip of a lifetime or a pretty exhausting experience, depending on how you prepared for your travel cruise. I know - I just got off a cruise with my 95 year old Mom, Gertie. Our cruise was a mix of both - there were some delightful moments but, all in all, Mom would much have preferred to have stayed home and, after experiencing 26 foot seas and some abdomen crushing seasickness (me), I would have too! If you're planning a trip with a senior citize...
I LOVE South Dakota
South Dakota has got to be my favorite place in the US. There is just so much history there and as far as natural beauty, it has everything; mountains, plains, hills, and forests.

There isn't much of the State I have not been to but admittedly, the Black Hills are what draw me back again and again. If you plan to be in South Dakota, here is a little guide on what I think are the best parts of th...

What Is "I've Been There"?
I've Been There" is a novel concept for a lens that I thought up a few days ago. I have been thinking of a way to use some lenses about places throughout the world created by other lensmasters, and the idea for this lens gradually took shape.

So what I have done is provided a means for you to tell the world about places that you have been, a...
