Wayne &
Roger's Adventure
With
the help from Lola and Leslie, Wayne and Roger took their first
vacation in 6 years together.
Roger and Wayne started this adventure with a flight from
Dullus Airport to Fort Lauderdale to board the ship Magica
which is owned by Costa.
Costa is an Italian company with headquarters
in Genoa. All ships fly the Italian flag and operate in the
Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, Central
America, South America, Dubai and the Far East.
The food was outstanding and like all cruise ship, plentiful.
With the ship headquartered in Italy, the food had an Italian
flavor and a lot of pasta dishes were served. The ship was
very well maintained with little to no rust and very
clean. The stateroom was large enough to have a sitting area.
Room steward was prompt and quick with his duties.
The ship had TV programming with movies and the 3 main
channels of ABC, NBC and CBS but the 3 stations were from the
Denver Colorado so we received all the information about the
blizzard of 2006.

Did you know?
The 17th president of the United States was not
Ulysses S. Grant!
His parents named him Hiram Ulysses Grant, but they called
him Ulysses. In 1839, the congressman who appointed
Ulysses to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point
mistakenly reported the youth's name to the registrar as
Ulysses S. Grant. He thought Ulysses was the young
man's first name and his middle name that of his mother's
family, Simpson. Grant, convinced that his classmates might
tease him over his real initials (H.U.G.), never corrected
the mistake.
And now you know!

12 - Johnny Winter - Harrisonburg
For over 30 years, Johnny Winter has been a guitar hero without
equal. Signing to Columbia Records in 1969, Johnny immediately
laid out the blueprint for his fresh take on classic blues - a
prime combination for the legions of fans just discovering the
blues via the likes of Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. Constantly
shifting between simple country blues in the vein of Robert
Johnson, to all-out electric slide guitar blues-rock, Johnny has
always been one of the most respected singers and guitar players
in rock and the clear link between British blues-rock and
American Southern rock (a la the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd
Skynyrd.) Throughout the '70s and '80s, Johnny was the
unofficial torch-bearer for the blues, championing and aiding
the careers of his idols like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker.
His recent Grammy nominated I'm A Bluesman disc has only added
to his Texas-sized reputation." Robert Lighthouse opens the show
at 8:00pm. Tickets: $28 advance, $26 senior and student, $3 more
at the door.
