FlyOver Canada Official Teaser 2013

This past weekend Paulette and Art and Gary and Myself went to "Fly Over China" and  "Fly Over Canada".  What an amazing show, if you could call it that.  It is a mid-way ride, a plane ride and a 3 D movie all wrapped up in one.  Absolutely fantastic cinematography, a concept that  blew me away, we were sitting out over a 60 foot abyss flying through the air.  Basically, hang on and enjoy the ride.  After the first 3 minutes I wanted out!  I don't do roller coasters and only have a working relationship with planes, which means that unless necessary I will drive.  But there was no out, my seat belt was strapped in, and I don't do 60 foot leaps into space,  so "suck it up and buckle down and enjoy".  Krista, Joshes girl friend said to look for the top of the screen when you feel nervous.  I couldn't find it!  Of course if I had opened my eyes maybe it would have been there, but the whole 60 foot screen just wrapped around me.  What a ride. The dragon in Fly over China kept attacking the plane, and shaking us up, he was so real, and would pop up whenever we changed locations.  I can honestly say that altho I have sailed in the roaring 40's in a sailboat, that I was more scared on this ride.  Hopefully Gary's left hand will heal soon, I was clutching it so hard, I think he has some small broken bones.

Wandering the Marshall Islands

Image
Some Scuttlebutt from the Marshall Islands We have been out and about for the past 4 months visiting some of the atolls in the Marshall Islands, and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a good hurricane/cyclone hideout.  Checking out the Likiup atoll. The first place we all go is to Majuro, which is the check in port for yachts coming mostly from the south. But don't let yourself get stuck here, and miss the other atolls. I know how easy it is, there is a Tues. night yachties night out, and it seems hard to get away when Tues is coming up soon. Also shipping boat parts and even coffee in from the US is relatively cheap because of the US postal service here. So many distractions that keep us all tied to buoys. But drop the buoy and go exploring. it is really worth it. The atolls are all really different. They have had a variety of influences. Woje and Maleolap in particular played a large part in the wars, so there are sunken ships and planes to ...

Diabetes, and What you Should Know

What You Should Know About Diabetes Actors Tom Hanks and Halle Berry. Former  American Idol  judge Randy Jackson. Tennis champion Billie Jean King. Former major league pitcher David Wells. Singer Patti LaBelle. Comedian Drew Carey. Former  The View  cohost Sherri Sheppard. What do these celebrities have in common? They all have type 2 diabetes: a disease that anyone – even world-class athletes and the rich and famous – can be diagnosed with. With more than 5.3 million Canadians living with diabetes and more than 5.7 million with prediabetes (that’s almost one third of all people in this country), it’s easy to think that this disease is unstoppable… …until you listen to what Dr. Jamie McManus, Chief Advisor of Medical Affairs for Shaklee Corporation, has to say about it. This is absolutely not true. In fact, type 2 diabetes is 100% preventable. Look at Sherri Sheppard; she credits type 2 diabetes with  saving her life . In her book  Plan D: ...
