Outdoor Pool - Casa Dorada Los Cabos Resort & Spa

This is our fifth day at the Casa Dorado Resort on Medano Beach in Cabo San Lucas. I'm not a big beach or pool enthusiast and as I wrote earlier, I'm perfectly copacetic in a mini-pool.

We finished day 15 of our vacation at Disney World in Orlando. We'll be home before midnight after a two hour flight. Actually I'm blogging right now from Orlando International Airport which has free Wi-Fi at all the gates.

This is the arrogance Muslims have when they are barely 0.1% of our population. Imagine what they will be asking for when there are 1% or 10% Muslims in America. If the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sides with this woman against Disney then one day your children will be visiting Cinderella at her castle and she will be dressed in full hijab.

It is day 8 of our Disney vacation and day 4 of Ramadan 2010 and day 17 since Pakistan was hit by the worst monsoon floods in decades which to date has killed more than 1500 Muslims. I write 'Muslims' instead of 'Pakistanis' because I want to make a point about Muslim generosity.

Fans of Walt Disney films will remember Fred MacMurray as the dog-hating father in Disney's first live-action comedy, The Shaggy Dog (1959). What some may not know is that he played bad guy roles in the 1940s and was one of Hollywood's highest paid actors in 1943 with a salary of $420,000.

Before there was Disney, amusement rides were generic affairs. A kiddie ride was just a kiddie ride. Disney turned the ride into a themed whole with the architecture, landscaping, and even the food supporting a specific movie and set of characters. More often than not the ride exits into a store selling the themed products.

I love the way Disney keeps its resorts clean. I enjoy their hospitality and the value they place on their customers. I think they do a great job in promoting the Disney brand. In almost all respects they run a great business. However, they still don't get the Internet. Our suite has three bathrooms, a combination kitchen-dining room-living room, a double-bed bedroom, and a master bedroom but only one Internet access point. Not even Wi-Fi.

The Magic Kingdom fireworks view from the 11th floor of Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort is more spectacular than even at the Magic Kingdom itself. Instead of only seeing a small section of sky from the ground at the park, we see the entire panoramic display from our balcony.

One of the fastest ways to Newark Airport requires going on the New Jersey Turnpike and so I was shocked to see our driver getting into the cash lane instead of the EZPASS lane. The driver said his boss didn't want his drivers getting EZPASS. It took us an additional ten minutes to go through the toll than it should have taken.

When I travel anywhere for less than a week all I need is a backpack, so for my five night stay in Las Vegas checking in at the airport was a breeze.

He tempers his anger over the ejection of Muslims from Portugal and Spain 500 years ago and bides his time with the comfort of knowing that one day, all the world will be one Caliphate. He knows this to be true because he knows there are other Muslims not willing to bide their time.

Sadly, I do not have the balls of Jack Sparrow to let you see me in pirate gear and garb. Perhaps when I'm laid to rest I'll release those photos. Not because a pirate outfit makes me look silly; rather because it makes me look like a bloodthirsty, barbaric, savage Muslim buccaneer.

One of the problems with being on vacation is that it's very difficult to make perfect hardboiled eggs. The reason for this is that the main ingredient is two-week-old eggs.

I'm still in Vegas - Thursday night I saw David Copperfield and last night it was Spamalot. I don't do reviews so if I mention a play or a movie it's only as a segue to some related story.

There's a reason they call it a pacifier. It quiets down your kids. There is a reason that the world is filled with crying, bawling, yelling, irritating, and whining liberals. Their parents didn't give them a binky. One can find more than enough examples on the web of parents asking for advice on how to wrest a binky from their poor children as if they were taking heroin or in possession of stolen property.
