WOO HOO LOOKING FORWARD TO GET OUT THE USA FOR A WEEK!!!!! HAHAHA I am not a big fan of Mexico cruises or any cruises that are not islands. Although my NORWAY and ANTARCTICA trips are an exception, since i live in the WEST COAST, I should take advantage of the prices. It’s $500 for 7 day cr…

Well I leave in a few short days, and unlike my previous trips I do not feel anxious or excited. It is strange but for the first time in my life everything is going exactly as planned. Earlier this year while traveling in Nicaragua I made the decision to make the steps towards moving towards Austra…

i can't believe i'm entering my mid-thirties!!!!  oh well, there was nothing to do but make the best of it - which meant celebrating the entire weekend!  the morning began with a huge breakfast - pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon.  then it was off to mani/pedis with some of my girl …

  Southern California is the cradle of the American aviation and aerospace industries. Clear night skies over the Mojave Desert rekindled a longtime desire to spot the International Space Station. At ten years in orbit, the structure has grown immensely. Currently, the Space Shuttle Orbiter …

We had chatted on the site with Gianina (Gianina007) many times over the last few months and when we found out she was visiting California from her home in England we knew we had to set up some kind of meetup, whether it was a big thing or just a few of us.  Well, as it turned out Julie (fjm10…

The Dubliner is this great Irish Pub in Long Beach, although they have locations throughout Southern California and Arizona. During the day, they serve good food and its a great spot to grab a quick pint. I have been here on many occasions, but the times that are the best are on Saturday nights. Gr…

I was able to leave my house a little before 1 and was on my way. Traffic was surprisingly nice. I only hit some right around Magic Mountain but everyone has already threatened me with that as it was. I took the 210 freeway to the 134 to the 5 and then took the 5 a long long way up to the 580 and t…

Living in Vegas I don't get to see the beach very often. Luckily my friend who I was staying with for the weekend, lives only a 15 minute walk from the beach!

On 1st of September, it was labor day in America. So I went to Universal Studio with my friends. We bought 'front of line pass' (we don't have to line all rides and attractions and reserved seating at all shows) cuz we saw many people in there. But although there were many people, …

We got there around 8 at night and were able to find good parking. The beach was clearing out the sky was beautiful. The sunset soon afte…

Jenn wanted us to get together before she leaves to hawaii.She came up with this place in Santa Monica called Casa del Mar which is literally located by the beach, it's on Ocean Ave. Great  place to chill and have drinks with friends or even for a happy hour. I love the atmosphere it makes me …
