My phone gets stolen, I call to get a replacemnt phone, and they tell me it's going to take one day.  it's now going on 3 days.  I thought I'd share this story with everyone because in a small way, it's funny. Apparently DHL picked up the package, and then it got stuck in a warehouse in Tennesse due to heavy snow. When it finaly gets out of Tennessee, it end up getting sent to the San Jose faclility instead of the Fremont faclity where I...

Okay, folks, I know a lot of you have snow, like too much snow.  For all your snow though, sunny California is getting frost. That's right, frost every morning that lasts till about 10:00am, to 11:00am.  Cold bitter nights, but not as bad as the frost. I'd take your snow over my frost, here's why.  I love to make snowmen, and decorate them with clothes and accessories.  I also like to make snow angels, and I would love to have a snow fight with my one and...

So I come home from my trip, and two days later my dog gets into something, so this makes for a funny story.  Usually she just just plays with her stuffed animal bobble head by herself, but that's not what's funny.  A couple of months ago, she broke the bobble head off of the body, and proceeded to still play with the headless body by herself for weeks on end. Well last night she decided to bark at me for attention to help her fetch her bobble toy.  Well it...

I never knew they had such a place.  They literally blow a whistle, help a women drink a tequila shot, then the wait staff literally flips the girl over one of their shoulders, all in fun, but not something you would see in Ca.  I just keep thinking, what happens in Mexico must have stayed in Mexico, because if the same thing happened out here, someone might try to get sue happy, or someone else might end up crying. What happens in one person's culture, can be an insult to...

I just got back from Encenada.  What a fun time it was.  The country was so different from ours. I have never been to a 3rd world Country, and now I feel as if I understand it so muh better. I picked up a little bit of the Mexican culture when I was there, and learned how to make the Tour of Mexico Guacaole, which is the colors of the Mexican flag.  I didn't really learn any new words.  Sometimes the maguage was ablur to me.  After one Margarita of course we...

I have never heard of these before, and I hope they work. If you get a "setsail pass" online for acruise that you will be taking in 48 hours, then it's supposed to cut your line wait time by a half an hour.  I have so many things to think about. i have never been a cruise before, and this is my first time visitng LA where I wasn't staying at one of my friend's houses.  I am staying in a hotel that I know nothing about, and I hope it's okay. I took a...

I too, just wanted to share my love of this web site.  It's not often we get to tell the world what we think about a product that came out that can help us with travel, a bad place to avoid, or a really good sunny day place.  I know how hard it is to write a good review:  to say the right thing that will get people thinking, I have to see this place, or I want to avoid this pitstop.  So to all the reviewers out there. "This is your share the love...

If your going to live a a good life, then I look at it this way, we should have a fun life and take the memories with us.  I once heard a story about two men who were about  to die, and maybe you have, too.  One lived his life and all he did was work.  The other, worked for a time, retired, and throughout his life h had went many places, and did many things.  The guy who worked all his life looked over at the guy in the hospital bed next to him and said I wish I...

Ahh, I decided to have fun with this one.  I came to the descision I know part of the answer, and if you all want to contribute your ideas in comments to me as to what your answer is, I am fair game. Here we go.  A Gustonian, must be a caring person.  This person must be able to see the world outside themselves.  This person should also be someone who can write and pat you on the back when the chips are down, and laugh with you, thoughout all...

Okay, right before New Year's I won a bottle of Cookes wine. It's not the most expensive wine on the market, but I won it at a comedy show fair and square. I leave the place for two minutes, then I come back, my Cookes wine has been stolen. It was only Cookes okay? I thought to myself, someone must be very desprate to take off with a bottle of wine that very obviously, is not theirs.  The MC told me later he had a new bottle for me, but really, why steal a Cookes? I...

Hehehe, do we make these to break them?  To sometimes try at the beginning of the year then fall short at the end of the year, or do some people really keep these things?...  Hmm, well here are some of mine.  I want to travel far , and be on Gusto's private jet some day.  I want to make a lot of friends from all over the world, because some day I will get to see International places, not just the states.  I want to either meet the love of my life, or have...
