candydiver says "Excellent, environmentally concerned" about The San Diego Zoo Website

candydiver — Wed, 28 May 2008 19:41:30 GMT

My husband and I just returned from California. We started our vacation in San Diego and visited the San Diego Zoo. I have always wanted to go there and am so happy that we did. What a great zoo, the animals are in great enclosures with loads of space and great thought out areas. We found that the zoo itself is very environmentally conscious which is such a great asset. Walking is the best way to see the zoo and you need to allow a minimum of 5 hours to see it. We took the Bus first but didn't really see much except the overall zoo itself and how much area it actually encompasses.

I am not a big beer drinker, but this is a wonderful beer, especially while on vacation somewhere hot and sunny....

candydiver says "Excellent service" about Walt Disney World - Orlando, FL

candydiver — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:57:02 GMT

My husband and I are travelling to Florida in less than 3 weeks and wanted to get some discount tickets for Disney World and Arabian Nights Dinner show. After checking out a few different ticket agencies, lots are time-share related, I finally decided upon Tickey Mania in Orlando. I had read some reviews about a few and this one was recommended. I went online, after speaking with a rep in the offices who was very helpful and extremely pleasant, and ordered tickets for both attractions. I ordered them at 4:50 p.m on Thursday and received them in the mail (from U.S. to Canada) Tuesday. Incredible service, everything was included, brochure, photocopy of tickets, receipt. I was so amazed by the very efficient service and prompt delivery. I highly recommend this company for any Florida attractions that you are looking for. Prices were very good.

candydiver says "Excellent idea, loved it, coffee to suit every persons tastes" about Keurig B70 Coffee Maker

candydiver — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 17:10:36 GMT

Hy husband and I recently visited friends and this is the coffee maker that they had. When we tried it in the morning, I was excited about this machine, however, my husband was more excited about it. My husband likes his coffee strong whereas I like my coffee medium to strong, so it was perfect. We each got to pick whatever flavour we wanted, and it is great for trying new flavours as well. Well to say the least my husband was hooked and we purchased the unit by the end of the week. I love the fact that you can still use your own coffee in the My K-cup so it does cut down on the cost of making the coffee. Also the fact that you can brew hot chocolate or tea without having to fill the kettle, plug it in, wait for it to boil and then finally get your cup of whatever, this is 60 seconds. How much better can that be!! This is also programmable so you can set it for the morning to be ready when you need to brew. It also brews 4 different size cups which is great for travel......

candydiver says "Amazing people who care deeply for their rescued horses." about Horse Rescue

candydiver — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 01:34:06 GMT

My husband and I recently visited the Retirement Home for Horses in Alachua, Florida. We had pre-arranged with the owners to visit on the prescribed visitation day that the Home has set up for the public. I received an e-mail from Peter with all the directions and phone numbers to get there from Jacksonville airport. He also told me to phone if we were going to be late or needed any further instructions or got lost. As it turned out, our GPS system didn't like the address and it took a bit longer to get there than originally thought. Once we arrived, we parked and got out our bags of carrots and apples and proceeded to the first paddock to visit with the mini horses and the draft horses. After a few minutes Peter came to meet us and talked to us at lenght about the horses and the farm itself. These people are amazing, they care for at least 130 horses, some blind, but all loved equally. We arrived quite late in the afternoon, as the farm is only open to the pubic until 3:00...

candydiver says "Warm, friendly people, great balcony view, clean & comfortable" about Corona Del Mar - Ambergris Caye, Belize

candydiver — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:55:15 GMT

Corona Del Mar was a wonderful small property right on the waterfront. The small sandy beach was wonderful with its lounges and hammocks for relaxation. The breakfast was quite good, not tons of variety but enough for anyone to have a good fill. The all-day fruit or rum punch was a very welcome addition. The staff of Corona were all really pleasant, willing to help or arrange for activities, always a smile and hello, very nice atmosphere. We were on the top floor with a balcony and the view was amazing and so relaxing to sit there and enjoy the area....

candydiver says "Very nice setting, nice accommodations, friendly people" about Villas of Cave Creek - Cave Creek, AZ

candydiver — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 01:07:27 GMT

We just travelled to Cave Creek for the first time and really enjoyed ourselves. The little town is so friendly with all sorts of interesting shops and restaurants. The mountains around Cave Creek are very beautiful and great for the hiking enthusiest.

The Villas at Cave Creek were very comfortable and spacious. There was a patio in front in which to sit and eat or have breakfast and enjoy the outdoors. There was a very nice hot tub in the back patio area which was very nice as well.
