Michigan Star Clipper Dinner Train
Hey everyone,Cool Breezes here. You know i found something that I thought might be of interest to you. Its called the Michigan Star Clipper Dinner Train. Now the only thing is that its not on the west side of Michigan. But thought it was of interest anyway to put it on my blog. They are located at 840 North Pontiac Trail,Walled Lake MI, 48390.
(248) 960-9440 info line. This is down near the Detroit area. But this would be a experience of a lifetime for you on one of Americas premiere Dinner trains. You can have a three to five course dinner meal. Whichever you prefer, while being entertained with shows such as " a comedy wedding" or "Murder on the Star Clipper" See if you can figure out who commited the murder!! Or "Who Shot the Sheriff" A country murder, musical!!!
Then there are also different musical shows that you can pick from also. What a time to be had by all that attend. So it is live table side entertainment on your 3 hour ride. You can also book a overnight stay in one of the pullman sleeping cars and enjoy breakfast the next morning in the Kentucky Thoroughbred dinning car before you leave. So if you think this is something you would enjoy for a new experience, give them a call and make a resevation and have a ball.
Dont forget now, let the cool breezes blow.

Travel Tips
Hello,Hello, Cool Breezes here. Thought I would share a few travel tips Iv heard about. Maybe you can use them.
1. Now here is a hidden treasure, before you turn in that disposable camera to get developed, take off the thin cardboard and remove the batteries. You can usually use them again for something if your traveling.
2.You know many pet stores or a walmart usually have machines to engrave your pets name on a small metal disk. Well these tags can also be used to serve as luggage tags. Just engrave your name and phone number on it and pin it inside of the linning of your luggage. Then if it gets lost, you will still have the info on the inside.
3. Now here is a story I heard of and thought I would share. A mans wife had back problems and many airlines dont offer pillows anymore , or there isnt enough to go around. He packed Ziplock double-freezer bags in his carry on. After they were seated he would blow into the bag and close it partially,then blow a little more air in and close it up. Says its real comfy. Try it out and tell me what ya think.
4. Now here is a cool trick to help your kidss ears from popping on the plane.Before takeoff give them a sucker and the decent when you land.The swallowing tends to help relieve presure from building up in there ears. But before you touch down, take the candy away, just to be safe. Sounds like a good idea to me.
5.As your nieces and nephews begin to disgard their plastic, brightly colored music-download gift cards this year. Put a white label with your contact info on the back side and punch a hole at the end and attach it to your luggage as a ID tag. The colorful designs will make your suitcase stand out.
6.Use a empty Tic Tac box to carry a supply of toothpicks in. Its just the right size and closes easily, and then you can always find a toothpick when you need it. Ya Hoo!!
7Use a cork when you pack scissors. Stick the ends into the cork.
Well I hope these will help you if you need to use them. If you have an idea, please leave a comment. Always love to hear from you.
Make sure you get out and let the cool breezes blow into your face!!

Nubs Nob
Hey everybody,cool breezes here.You know Im trying to mix things up here on my blog. Trying to give you a little taste of everything. Like bass fishing,trout fishing, links to Disney. Amazon, you know a little of everything. I have looked at a lot of blogs and they are pretty much strightlined in one direction. So I hope you dont mind,I just want to mix it up a bit.
Man I dont know how I got on that. But I found a neat little place called Nubs Nob. Now how do you like that name.But if you like the winter and I know a lot of you do, here is a place you can go for skiing. Its in Harbor Springs MI. But you might want to make it a point to visit Nubs Nob. They have been know to have the best snow around and have earned the distinction of being family-friendly mountain resort.
Now the mountain is fairly simple with an elvation of 1,338 feet and a vertical drop of 427 feet. That scares me already cause I cant ski.lol But they have 43 trails with 8 chair lifts. Now I understand that they brag about having the top skiing and snowboarding school in the country.
Now just because they offer beginners programs, dont be fooled, the expert skiers will be challenged as they glid down the sloops. Now they have night skiing as well. Now I cant ski in the daylight, let alone the dark.lol
But they have a general store where you can get gloves,hats, neck braces, oops I mean neck warmers, or even have someone to fix your skis.
But all this talk has made me hungary. You can go to the cafeteria and have breakfast or lunch or both!!
You can visit Nubs Winter Garden for grilled burgers. The Pintail Peak Warming hut found at the top of the Black Lift, offers homemade soups, sandwiches, and views that will just knock your socks off.
But the living is easy at Nubs Nob, so you can ski now and snowboard later or board now and ski later. What ever you little heart desires. Check this place out and see what you think.
Im going to try and add a little video, cause if your like me, its always nice to see it instead of just trying to picture it in your head. So get out there and let the cool breezes blow.

Muskegon County ~ experience the lake effect
Muskegon County ~ experience the lake effect
Cool Breezes here. I wanted to tell you about a place in Muskegon that you can go and have a ball. I think, if you dont kill yourself. lol But it is at the winter sports complex. The Luge is like a bobsled track. It was built first with the thought for training for the Olympics. But if you want to check it out to do there are some things that you have to do first to be able to partisapate. But you have to sign a waiver and proff of health insurance. Yikes, that scares me already. But if your into a different experience, here you go. Call 231-744-9629 to reserve your spot. There is a 2 and hour time block for it to happen. Cost $40 for adults, $35 for kids 8-18. So anyway for something different, try it out. Now this will for sure have the cool breezes blowing thru your hair and tears running down your face. Either from fear or the cold. Have Fun.

Valentine's Get Away
Cool Breezes here, ok here's the scoop. I give everyboy a little warning that the big heart day is coming. I got a suggestion that might work. Now this is for you gals as well as you guys. How about a get-away to a neat Bed and Breakfast. Now I see that Valentines day falls on a Thursday this year. So why not make a nice long weekend of it and go for a couple of days!! Now being its during the week you might get a good deal. Just think, no kids, if you got kids. That in itself should make you want to book one. lol If you do this you might even want to call ahead and have flowers or candy in the room. Wow would that make her happy. Course I like CANDY!! Well really cookies for me. That would win me over. lol But to really surprise him or her, you would have to keep this very quiet and do it on your own and not tell a soul. Hum that would be hard.
But give it some thought and maybe go out to a movie or get a spa treatment. Boy if my wife reads this I am in trouble. lol
If you do this please let me know and leave a comment. Now if you do comment, you will have to log into your Google account. If you dont have one they are easy to set up and they are free. I wish everyone a very Happy Valentines Day.
Oh here is a Valentine video for you
