As mentioned earlier, the Ducks Road Crew trips are always a first class experience. This trip was no different. In most of the trips, we get the opportunity to have a meet and greet with players, Ducks staff, or media personality. On our itinerary, it was notated that […]
After checking in with the Road Crew, it was time to grab some dinner. Thanks again to Yelp, I found Dunn’s Famous, a deli that was about the same distance as Pub McLean’s. This place was established in 1927 and is open 24/7. We were lucky that a […]
The Ducks Road Crew is the official traveling group of the Anaheim Ducks hockey club. They organize a trip for the fans, with special perks and merchandise that is exclusive to the trip. The cost for this trip only includes the land portion, so fans must find their […]
Good morning! It’s the official first day of the Ducks Road Crew trip. We started off our morning by taking a walk in very brisk, chilly weather to a café I found on yelp: Universel. The staff was not the friendliest, and the food was just ok. At least […]
Pub McLean’s is located about 2 blocks our downtown Montreal hotel. While in flight from Los Angeles, I messaged the owner via Yelp and asked if we could make a reservations to watch the Ducks vs. Senators game at 7:00. No problem. When we arrived, the assistant manager […]
This year’s Ducks Road Crew trip was Montreal and Toronto, and then I am breaking off on my own with 25 other fans to Buffalo. About 90 Ducks fans will be attending this year’s trip, the biggest one for North America (with London and Finland/Sweden being bigger). Karen, […]
It’s been 3 weeks of testing out the various Live Streaming TV providers: Sling, PS Vue and DirecTvNow, it’s time to pick one. Even though this provider didn’t have a DVR, I chose DirecTvNow for one main reason: they were offering a “free” Apple TV with a 4 months prepaid subscription. I have 2 televisions: downstairs […]
My coworker Stacey is a huge fan of the 80s hairband, Extreme. She found out they were at the House of Blues in Anaheim, and I tagged along to keep her company. We arrived early at 5:00 for dinner, and so we wouldn’t miss the show. The food […]
My trial with PS Vue is over and now I am trying DirecTvNow. I am already a long time user of DirecTv (satellite) and have been pleased with their service, so I entered this 5-day trial with a positive outlook. There were some glitches in my viewing late […]
Last week I did the 7-day trial with Sling TV, blue package. I really liked Sling and found very little dislikes with that provider. I did miss KTLA Morning News (that’s the local CW channel) but got used to watching KTTV Fox’s Good Day LA and also Good Morning, […]
My friend Shellie did a indie-gogo type crowdfunding event that was a partnership beer with the Bruery in Placentia, CA (Orange County). The bottle was ready for pickup so we made our way down to Escondido to get it. If its your first time, use your GPS. There […]
On a brutally cold January night, Stephen and I met for boba tea and shared a Texas sized toast at a Yami Tea House in Lomita, California. Five years later, we made our way back to that busy little tea house to celebrate our anniversary.
I’ve been a customer with DirecTV since the 1990s. Ever since they merged with AT&T, I have not been satisfied with their service. Prices have been skyrocketing and in order to keep me as a customer they pacify me with favors, such as a few dollars off here and […]
The weekend of January 6-7 was a busy one at Disney California Adventure. Not only was it the first non black out weekend for most passholders, it was the last weekend for the Festival of Holidays, and the last weekend for The Cove Bar. The Cove Bar is […]
With the holidays over, it’s time for Disney California Adventure to close down their Festival of Holidays event. Stephen and I had some tabs left on our “sip and savor” pass, and went on Saturday, January 6 to use them before meeting up with Shellie at the Cove Bar, […]
Happy New Year, and belated Christmas greetings to all. My year ended on a good note. Santa was very generous to me, and the Ducks won the last game of the year against the Arizona Coyotes. While most of the country is under snowy weather, it’s a beautiful […]
The San Diego Zoological Society has 2 locations: the San Diego Zoo, located near the city of San Diego, and the Safari Park, located about an hour away in Escondido. My friend Judy had tickets that were expiring, and they were valid for either location. Since I was staying at […]
