Touring Alcatraz

ALCATRAZ; everything about the name sounds ominous, doesn't it? Is it because of Hollywood or does it really deserve the name? Reader beware - I'm not going to tell you the answer.......you're going to have to go there and find out for yourself. But when you do - make reservations EARLY online or through your travel agent. If you wait till you get there, chances are pretty slim that you'll make the tour. And even slimmer to make the night tour. We gave it all four stars in our rating - an excellent tour!

Picking up Wally

As you probably remember, Wally had been last seen in Jacksonville taking a Carnival cruise in the Caribbean learning about love and single life on a cruise ship. But, it was time to come back home to his Tennessee town.

The Better Half and I arranged to pick him up in Rochester, NY. In the summer, you can't beat the temperatures in upstate NY. Without taking too much time to dwell on the unfortunate weather related canceled flights surrounding Atlanta, we finally arrived in Rochester.

The home of Wegmans and the summer home of the Buffalo Bills greeted us with fantastic 70 degree weather and it was Perfect for the summer garden party planned by my sister for her sons graduation from Brighton High School. Complete with karaoke and a fantastic buffet spread, we had a fun time energizing and entertaining the crowd with our versions of Queen songs and Broadway.

Wally preferred the hard rock of Guns & Roses and happily conversed with the family dog, Fenway ( yes - there is a relationship between the name and the field!). It isn't often, Wally gets a chance to hang out with his own kind!
