We arrived here a half an hour prior to the appointment and had forms to complete. There were several receptionists checking patients into the practice - maybe like five. The receptionist we got was not overly friendly. The appointment time was at 9:45 am and there were signs that if you were 10 minutes over your appointment time and nog called back to let the receptionists know. I waited 20 minutes and then advised the receptionist and she said, “When they have a chair, they’ll call you back.” I said? “Your sign said to advise you.” This part of the process was pointless. We were finally called back and the person who called us back was also not very friendly. Next, we were seen by the doctor. I explained that my Mother doesn’t have the tolerance to sit and wait in the chair for hours. We drove a considerable distance and if there was a lot of idle time, sitting and waiting or having to return multiple times for students to see my Mother and then another appointment for a doctor to review the case, or just multiple appointments that this might not be the right fit. The doctor agreed and said I would most likely get the same service closer to home and it may require fewer appointments. The doctor was very nice, helpful and personable and deserves 5 stars! Since the university charges as much as a dentist, we will be going to see a local dentist. I also spent time and read the reviews which I would encourage you to do if you are considering this place as a potential option. Pay attention to the low reviews and billing/insurance issues that some patients experienced.

I wish I had a week to spend at the Finger Lakes Welcome Center. The man working at the center was so entertaining, knowledgeable and personable. This center definitely has the right man for the job! He’s a local, self-described farm boy with many talents from carpentry to boat tours and everything in between. He’s filled with facts galore with just about anything you want to know and then some! Make sure to stop in and do some free wine tasting and meet this hidden gem of the Finger Lakes. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Hill Auditorium on the University of Michigan Ann Arbor school is the largest performance venue in the campus and is a lovely place to see events, musicals or award ceremonies. The auditorium was built in 1913 and still has old fashioned seating that has lost most of the cushion. The quality and comfort of the seats is my only complaint. The bathrooms were clean and parking was easy to find. I’d definitely return for another event however I’d make sure I had an outside seat to be able to get up and stretch my legs.

The University of St. Andrews is one of the most beautiful universities and campuses to visit and explore. It is the third oldest university in the English speaking world and the oldest university in Scotland, founded in 1413. Its motto is …”For Ever to be the BEST!” And is it ever! St. Andrews is made up of a variety of different institutions and three colleges. The University of St. Andrews has had several notable attendees including, the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince of Wales, Prince William was taught Geology by my next door neighbour in Fife. The town really let Prince William be… and town members did not encourage the paparazzi! The town surrounding the campus has many shops, restaurants, a quaint movie theatre, a Tescos, fish and chippie shops along with some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The university is situated next to the 🥶 North Sea and also next to the Royal and Ancient where GOLF ⛳️ was invented. A little over 10,500 students attend the university and if you’re planning on attending and are accepted, tuition can be in the upwards of £25,000 for overseas students, not including room/boarding. By today’s rates, that’s only $28,762 per semester if you’re from the USA. Not that bad if you think about the expensive tuition in the USA. If you live in Scotland and are Scotland based, you may be able to go to the university for free. Imagine that? I would visit the university and walk on the campus and explore the rich history. Check out the oldest living tree on campus. Afterwards, go to Forgan’s or Balgove Larder - a few of my personal favourites - for tea. Then, walk on St. Andrew’s beach and play the Chariots of Fire on your phone. Don’t take my word for it, visit yourself.

We ordered two iced lattes and the server was nice and told us the best coffee on the menu was the pistachio vanilla iced lattes. The large lattes came under $11.00 and I just thought they were ok. The interior of the coffee shop had a cool vibe, but the flavour of the coffee didn’t really come through to me.
