Hello, Jim-D!

INITIAL IMPRESSION / OVERVIEW:

Wow! You had quite the adventurous vacation with a lot of varied experiences.

You kept me riveted and I read straight through to the end.



MORE DETAILED FEEDBACK:

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary month! I hope you enjoy this review as a celebration of your time here and find the review uplifting.

I like your personable writing style. It's like you're sharing your travel journel with friends, which you are, of course, because it's published here on this friendly site. Because I've met you in person (a great blessing!), I could hear your voice as I read, as if you were talking to me, which I thought was extra neat.

I was happy to read that even though you were apparently unable to meat your doughnut baking / writing friend, most of your trip seemed to go well.

I was glad that Faith was able to do for your Akita what your wife isn't able to do anymore and that Faith was glad to be reunited with him. I also thought that it was nice of you and your wife, to take him all the way there for her (and to pay the $200 in extra hotel charges for the parts of your trip he was with you).

I loved that you were able to pay for everything except the pet fees with your Hilton Honor points. That's super thrifty and a great use of resources.

I thought the pickling lime information was interesting.

I was really glad you got to see your daughter for part of the visit and share a meal with her at a restaurant you all love.

I remember the first time I saw an aircraft carrier. I was very impressed with the size too.

I was glad the drive home was faster and easier than the drive there for you and your wife.

I haven't been on a real vacation in ages, but I seem to remember always being tired when I got back home. As long as you had fun, which it sounds like you did, I think it was a success! Though I wish you could have met your doughnut / writing friend too. Bakers do keep early hours.

I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical mistakes (or mistakes of any kind) in your travel blog post.

I thought the travel and experience genres you selected were perfect for this travel / experience blog of yours.


IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR PIECE STRONGER:
I would love to have something great to share here, but I think it's wonderful as it is. Well done!


CONCLUSION:
You have a personable, friendly writing style and I greatly enjoyed reading about your vacation.

Thank you for sharing your time, creativity, heart, spirit, travels, interesting bits of information, and writing with the Writing.Com community!


Once again, happy anniversary month! I hope the year ahead is filled with blessings and joy for you!

May love, joy and peace be yours in abundance!
