I know, I know, it’s cliche to write the year-end retrospective article around New Year’s.  However, I can’t help it.  It’s my nature as a scientist to analyze, evaluate, and reflect, and it’s amazing to think about all the different experiences I’ve squeezed into 2009.  There were trips to Disneyland, Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, Universal [...]

There is no doubt that the crown jewel in DIsney’s empire is a small island 60 miles off the cost of Nassau called Castaway Cay.  Of all the attractions, shows, hotels and theme parks in Disney’s realm - in my humble opinion, NOTHING compares to this.  No matter how many times I visit this island, [...]
