Aug News 2021 with Lisa Niver & We Said Go Travel:
Thank you to Discover Puerto Rico, Distrito T-Mobile, T-Mobile and Ketchum for inviting me to the grand opening party in San Juan Puerto Rico on August 14, 2021.See all the videos from our adventures here.
Are you looking for a sun-kissed Caribbean paradise with hundreds of years of history, fantastic food, beautiful beaches, majestic mountains, marvelous music and non-stop fun, La Isla del Encanto is the place for you.
I have visited Puerto Rico many times and sailed out of old San Juan for an entire Caribbean season when I worked for Royal Caribbean International.
Puerto Rico has one of the highest vaccination rates in the Americas, uses the US dollar and is a direct domestic flight from many parts of the USA.
You can walk from the 500 year-old UNESCO forts of Castillo de San Cristóbal and Castillo de San Cristóbal in old San Juan to the newest entertainment hub which is Puerto Rico’s L.A. Live called Distrito T-Mobile. See you in Puerto Rico!
Did you know that Puerto Rico is a domestic flight away from Los Angeles, you can use your same phone plan, US dollars and, of course, there is no passport required! See you in San Juan!
What to DO: Zip-line, Movies and Live Entertainment

I love the Hollywood Bowl and went to The Princess Bride in concert. I was so happy that the Bowl was open. It is truly a treasure of Los Angeles to be able to enjoy world class music in this outdoor amphitheater with friends.
The Hollywood Museumreopened this month. The first ever Back to the Future Trilogy exhibit is waiting for YOU!

“These women were pivotal to both the process and the outcome of the trial. Yet they were marginalized on many occasions, literally reduced to footnotes.“
It’s worth paying attention to what is – or isn’t – happening to our “large” parties. They are quite small, or at least that’s how they appear in the polls even as Election Day draws near.
We need not know where every decision will lead before taking the first step. Sometimes acting upon our deepest convictions is itself the beginning of wisdom.
New opportunities and challenges have always come and gone. But pulpit clergy with their years of training, education and perspective on life, generated from atop the pulpit, are especially well suited for whatever lies ahead.
The Tower of Babel reminds us how easily language can divide us. Our shared history reminds us of what becomes possible when we find ways to understand one another.
What is especially troubling to me is that at many of these protests in France you will find signs reading “Intifada Revolution” and “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Arab,” along with ubiquitous Palestinian flags, and Hamas flags too.
