Samuel Slater engineered the first water powered cotton spinning mill in 1790 […]

February 6, 2015 Screaming Eagle

The Screaming Eagle is one part South Beach and one part night club. This French fusion restaurant is draped with gauzy white curtains and even offers a whole section where you can eat your dinner on a canopy bed. While that sounds lovely, we opt for the traditional table. We start with the special appetizer […]

January 21, 2015 Aruba – One Happy Island

I’ve been going to #aruba for the last 20 years or so. The weather is always warm and sunny and it never rains for more than 10 minutes. The people are friendly and it is very safe. So much has changed in the last 20 years. I remember when the airport was outdoors – you […]
