Disney’s Animal Kingdom During COVID-19

Posted on November 5, 2020November 5, 2020 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

However, we weren’t sure how it would be without Festival of the Lion King or Finding Nemo and some added precautions. We recently talked about our decision-making process surrounding returning to Walt…

Day Trips and Staycations

Posted on September 14, 2020 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

Even more, have opted for local ‘staycations’- these may be simple day trips to outdoor locations or a short overnight, not far from home. Just enough to have…

Jaipur Dinner and Cultural Performance

Posted on July 17, 2020October 14, 2020 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

  Typically, when we travel as part of a group tour, we pass on some of the nighttime optional cultural dinner theater shows. To be completely honest, on at least one occasion after a big dinner and a few adult beverages, we have nodded off in the confines of a warm, dark theater, especially after…

Did You Say “SNAKE”

Posted on June 12, 2020June 13, 2020 by Chuck

Most people know that I am terrified of snakes. Doesn’t matter how small or how big…a snake is a snake. I’ve heard it all, it doesn’t bite, it eats rodents and bugs;  in my eyes all snakes bite and can kill me. Hey, we all have our phobias. So needless to say, we knew at…
