California Adventure opened its doors on February 8, 2001. It is a totally separate theme park from Disneyland, but they both reside within the Disney Resort complex.
The park started with five areas but was remodeled recently to include 7 distinct areas. Each area represents various aspects of California, its culture, landmarks and history. It is home to Disney’s only real rollercoaster, a must-see hang-glider ride, and a unique Ferris wheel.
Visit Paradise Pier or Pacific Wharf to relive summer times at a California beach town. Or go to Hollywood Land for a look into how Disney movies are made or to rescue the Guardians of the Galaxy. And for a trip into California's wilderness, visit Grizzly Peak. Finally, for a thrilling race through Radiator Springs go to Cars Land.

Following our exhilarating escapades in La Fortuna and Monteverde, we arrived on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, ready for some well-deserved relaxation at Tamarindo Beach.

In March of 2023, my wife and I decided to embark on our long-awaited journey through Egypt.
After a hectic three-day tour of Cairo and Giza, we flew on Egypt Air to Luxor, were whisked away to our cruise ship, Steigenberger Minerva, and checked into our fabulous cabin.
The four-day cruise starts from Luxor and goes up the Nile River to Aswan, but right to the south of Luxor, the river changes to a higher level. We had to use the Esna Locks to rise to the upper level.
The crossing happened late at night, so the few of us who wanted to witness this event stayed up and gathered at the ship’s bow. Our tour guide arranged for us to stand in front of the bridge window for the best view.
