Florida – Fake, Fat and Fun!
Well, what a surprise Florida has been. We arrived here safely on Saturday after a flight that involved meeting a family from Bermuda who consumed a whole extra large size family pizza and then one of the children proceeded to throw it up again. ...
Off to Florida
Well it is our last day in NYC (for this visit anyhow) and we have a list of things to accomplish before departing our hotel at 5.45am tomorrow bound for Florida. The last few days have been action packed. It was great to see Grey Gardens with Naomi on...

Record Temperatures in NYC
Well it is Friday morning here and we are back at Apple using the free internet. We have had quite a busy few days although I think our travels are catching up with us - we are both needing to nap in the afternoon and yesterday, that nap became our nightly...
Feasting on Bananas in NYC
Well we arrived in NYC after an nearly eight hour flight from London. The security at London was rather unbelievable with thorough questioning about repairs to battery operated equipment, checking of liquids being carried on board, scanning of shoes and bags and...
Happy New Year from London
Well it is New Year's Eve here in London and it is raining so hopefully it will stop before the fireworks at midnight. We are having a fantastic time and it seems more than 5 days since we left home. Our two days in Hong Kong were action packed and lots of fun! We...

Never pay retail in New York City!
Things have been hectic here at the beginning of 2006. We ended up staying in for New Year Eve due to cold weather and rain and watched the ball drop on television as well as fireworks (pathetic and more like a sparkler)!! It was all over in about 10 seconds!!!! Then...

Leaving Las Vegas
We are now back in New York after spending the last 3-4 days in Las Vegas. We had a great time but both agreed that our time there was long enough!! As a parting token we contributed $5 to the poker machines in the airport prior to boarding our flight (yes the poker...
An unexpected Christmas
Well it is now Monday evening (December 26) and are on our way home after another day of shopping (at the sales so you just have to buy things when they are on special) followed by a movie in town. We saw Brokeback Mountain with Heath Ledger (he was in it, not sitting...
Shows, Strike and Shopping!
