Vegas On a Budget - Beware of Timeshare Offers

On my my first day in Las Vegas, we were bombarded by any and everyone wanting to give you something free. I quickly remembered the saying that there is no free lunch or that there is nothing really free, but I also learned that you don't always get what you are promised.

So free tickets to a Cirque du Soleil show sounded like a great idea. Free was much better than the $160. it would coast me and my pardner. So we chatted with Becky at the New York New York Tahati desk and we weren't sold on giving up 3 hours of our day even for concert tickets.

Since we weren't quite sold, she asked what else she can add to the pot, We told her that we would really like to see the\Grand Canyon ona day trip. She quickly responded, that she could throw that in withthetickets for $50.00. Too good to be true but she was so convincing that we were swayed.

According to Becky, we were getting a 300.00 dollar deal for only $50,00. She went over the deal with us saying this is what you are getting and your total cost would be $50.00 and that it is all in the computer. All we had to do was see the front dest at the Tahati resort when we were done with the presentation and they would give us our tickets,

We did get ourconcert ticket but not the deal promised that included the Grand Canyon trip. According to Becky's not so nice manager who was called to the front desk to resolve the issue, we got what we were promised. He said that he spoke to Becky and she told her offer was $50.00 per person and that there was nothing in the computer about a Grand Canyon trip.

We expressed our sentiments about what a rip off it was and were quite concerned that the manager was accusing us of lying while defending his Becky. This is a cautionary tale. Beware of time share offers like the one we got from Tahiti representatives for gifts in return for sitting through one of their boring presentations, If they are offering you too good a deal for your time then get it in writing.

|Oh! and by the way, we didn't buy the Tahiti timeshare and we never will.

The Cattail Cafe at the Seven Clans Casino, Warroad MN - A Review

Cattail café Seven Clans Casino, Warroad, review - image Google The Cattail café is conveniently located next to the casino and across from the gift shop. Here you can grab breakfast, lunch or dinner on the go in an informal, pedestrian type setting. The food The menu at the Cattail has your usual burgers, fish and chips and chicken dinners. There is a marked absence of vegetables and coleslaw seems to be the closest thing to green you will see. Don't expect any special treatment if you are vegan or gluten free . You don't always get what is on the menu as it seems they are not always able to prepare what you ask for and bluntly tell you they can't get you what's on the menu without giving a reason. I ate there once and had the fish and chips which was okay. Service at the Cattail Service was mixed when I visited. The serving staff behind the counter were pleasant enough but not very accommodating. I asked if they had veggie burgers and the guy looked at...

RV Trip to St Malo Provincial Park, Manitoba

St Malo Provincial Park ©Ashauntae(2020) St Malo Beach Having just acquired our first motorhome , it was time to start planning trips to campgrounds. We would start  in Manitoba and work our way across Canada and eventually to the United States. To our surprise available campgrounds were in short supply. It seems like due to COVID-19 and stay at home orders, campgrounds had become a high demand commodity. ©Ashauntae(2020) Tiffen Allegro Motorhome With perservance we managed to find three nights in the St Malo Provincial park in mid July. The highlight of St Malo is it's family friendly twin beaches.  One of the beaches called sunset beach is the ideal location to watch the sunset.

A visit to the Pirate Museum in Nassau Bahamas

pirate museum, Nassau, Bahamas, image Ashauntae Located in the heart of downtown Nassau is the Pirate Museum and a must see for tourists who want a glimpse into the history of piracy especially as it relates to the Caribbean.  Inside the museum you will find a true replica pirate ship which hosts most of the exhibits on two floors. Enter if you dare. It can be like entering a haunted house with sights and sounds of an era past on a pirate ship. The first room on the ship belongs to the ship's carpenter who had the most important job on the ship. The ship holds many historical facts about famous pirates, their conquests and their demise. There are replica jails, re-enactment image  of a gruesome surgery at sea, and other pirate artifacts. On the outside of the museum you can take your photo locked in the stocks. All in all it was a very informative experience.
