Karen and I collect Funko toys and the new headquarters is located about 40 minutes north of Seattle in the city of Everett, Washington… just a stones throw away from Boeing. After we left the Starbucks Reserve Roastery, we made our way north, stopping halfway in the city of Edmonds for breakfast at […]
Karen and I left Pike Place and went from the “first” Starbucks store to the first Starbucks Reserve Roastery. Located at 1124 Pike Street, the first Starbucks Reserve Roastery is located in Seattle’s vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood. The new facility takes up 15,000 square feet and offers taste tests of […]
Good morning, Seattle! It was Karen’s first time in Seattle, so we had to visit the famous Pike Place Market. In my prior visits, I knew it would be very busy, so we decided to get there by 8:00, before the tourist and tour busses arrived. We were told […]
I wasn’t planning on going anywhere, but I came across an awesome deal from Long Beach to Seattle for $150.. round trip! I grabbed 2 seats and did a very quick trip to the Emerald City. I found a great little Airbnb located in the hip Ballard part of […]
Teryn Gray is from Southern California, and moved to New York City to become an actress. I’ve known this magnificent young lady for over 10 years, when she sat next to me at Anaheim Ducks games, back when she would tell me the hottest YA books to read. She […]
After the Golden Knights game, Karen and I cut through the Monte Carlo hotel and took the free tram/monorail to the Bellagio, which was also the final stop. The station is located in the back part of the hotel, which eventually leads you to the conservatory and the […]
My bucket list is to visit every NHL arena, and after checking off T-Mobile, I only have 3 arenas left to go… so when I say this a 5 star venue, it’s because I have been to many places to compare. First, don’t drive or even take an uber unless […]
Wahlburgers is a Boston burger restaurant owned by chef Paul Wahlberg in partnership with two of his celebrity brothers Donnie and Mark. There are 14 locations, but only 1 in Nevada… and this one is located in front of the Bally’s hotel and casino, in the shops and restaurants area. […]
So it’s been 2 months, and that means it’s time for another Vegas visit. Now that the casinos have started charging for parking, I try to stay at a Caesar’s Entertainment property. However, the Cosmopolitan is still my favorite hotel/ casino on the Las Vegas Strip, and recently […]
GRAND OPENING MARCH 21! Eddie World will be one of my new pit stops as I travel from So Cal to Vegas. it’s located in Yermo, off Calico (right before the CA Food/Agricuture Inspection station) There’s a huge gas station with competitive prices ($3.35 for regular gas as […]
Living in the West Coast, I don’t get to experience the true 4 seasons unless I travel to other parts of the country. I got to experience a week of winter and snow, and let’s just say that my thin blood was looking forward to going back to […]
The Ducks lost the last 2 games played in Toronto and Montreal. We were hoping that this last game of the road trip would turn out better. The KeyBank Center is located down the street from our hotel, and was within the “free zone” of the local metro […]
When in Buffalo, you should try the famous “Buffalo” wings at the famous Anchor Bar, right? We normally would, but with the weather outside being snowy (and freezing) plus we had a game in a few hours, we decided to try the “next” thing Buffalo was known for… hot […]
We traveled by Plane, then Train.. and now automobile. This part of the trip is not part of the Road Crew. Twenty five fans traveled independently with me by bus to Buffalo to catch the 7:00 game against the Sabres. I hired a 56 passenger bus by Coach Canada, and our […]
Getting tickets at the Air Canada Centre is difficult. Getting tickets for almost 100 fans should be near impossible, but somehow the Ducks got us all tickets. However, they were in the gondolas located high above the arena, and we had to take an additional elevator to get […]
The reason the Ducks chose Toronto for this year’s Road Crew city was 2 former players: Teemu Selanne and Paul Kariya were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. It made perfect sense to visit this city, and to check out the Hall of Fame’s newest inductees. After the morning skate, […]
The Road Crew scheduled for fans to watch the Ducks morning skate after our tour at the DK (Doc) Seaman Hockey Resource Centre. Although it’s not always a given, we’ve been fortunate to watch the Ducks practice during most of the Road Crew trips we’ve taken We arrived just as the […]
