Why Vegas remains the Top Travel Destination

March 16, 2023 by Sarah WilliamsonLeave a Comment

One look at the dazzling lights and the hive of activity that is modern day Las Vegas and you’d scarcely believe that just 200 years ago not a single non-native American had settled on the land.

It wasn’t until 1905 that Las Vegas would be officially founded as a railroad town, and its size would grow … [Read more...]

My Visit To Israel

March 12, 2023 by Janet MatriccianiLeave a Comment

Unfortunately, I had over-estimated his capabilities, so taxi rides often consisted of pointing and repeating English words with Israeli accents. If my son hadn’t thought that saying “Iz olright, Iz olright” with an Israel accent and considering that … [Read more...]
