Can You Travel with CBD Oil? Products Worth Considering

April 3, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

CBD oil has become an ever-present part of our lives. We can put it in our coffee, our baths, or carry it around in bags as a lotion. We can even buy CBD treats for our pets. Still, no matter how present it is, many people don’t know much about its legalities and rules. There is a lot of misinformation going around about CBD and its legal aspects, and a lot of that stems from unclear regulations. If you’re planning on traveling and taking … [Read more...]

Dalat, Vietnam, City of Flowers and Fun

April 1, 2021 by Dave3 Comments

We drove up from Mui Ne to Dalat - beginning at the coast with hot and humid temperatures passing by fields of dragon fruit plants. As we drove we began to climb into the mountains, leaving the dragon fruit farms behind, replaced by coffee trees growing on steep hillsides. It is refreshing to be in the mountains with the cleaner air and crystal clear skies. We arrived during the week of Tet, the Vietnamese and Chinese New Year and the city … [Read more...]

China Ranch Date Farm & Bakery – April 2021

April 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

Most likely the most northern commercial date farm in the state of California - this remote ranch is well worth making the trek out to buy delicious dates (some 1,500 trees and 20 varieties). Located about 90 minutes from Las Vegas and 4 hours from Los Angeles. The property has a fascinating history - settled by a Chinese man who came here pre-1900 after working the Borax mines in Death Valley. He mysteriously disappeared (probably forcibly run … [Read more...]

This is one way to travel: My trip to Koh Jum, Thailand!

March 1, 2021 by Dave6 Comments

I stopped to order some Larb Gai at one of the stalls when a lady approached me and instructed me … [Read more...]

Monterey Bay Aquarium – March 2021

March 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

Visitor's to the Monterey Bay Aquarium can park in metered spots (credit cards accepted) on nearby streets - and it is generally a short walk to the cannery. There are also two parking garages within the close vicinity of Cannery Row. Those who don't mind parking further away can find non metered street side parking in residential neighborhoods to the west of the aquarium (about a 10-15 minute walk away).
