Travel to as many of those "1000 places" as possible - a lifelong endeavour
Untitled 6 days ago

This should be fun. Traveling for the sole purpose of relaxing is great but boring for me. This gives travel some purpose. I should check how many of the places in the US are a less than 50 bucks away if I took a bus. Then I can really have those weekend adventures I’ve been meaning to do since I moved to the Tri-state area.



Go to Vegas in 2010 for my birthday
Untitled 6 days ago

Proposed dates: 3/5/2010 – 3/8/2010.

I want to stay in a 5-star hotel on the strip. If I’m doing this, I’m doing it right!! So it looks like the options are:
- Venetian
- Wynn Las Vegas
- Planet Hollywood (4.5 stars)
- Encore
- Mirage (4.5 stars)

Of course, a show or two, a nightclub or two, an activity or two must also be included.

I wonder if booking ahead is better than looking for last minute deals.



Go on a romantic weekend getaway before Dec 31, 2009 (read all 2 entries…)
Nov 20 - 22 6 days ago

I think we have a date. We’ll see if he can follow through. Men can be so fickle!

Anyway, I can’t really get away until Saturday because I take my daughter to her dance class on Saturday morning so I’m hoping we can do a nice romantic date on Friday night, then go away Sat-Sun after my daughter’s class. A really short getaway but so necessary.

For Friday, I’m hoping to go to See a Broadway show then go to Negril Village for dinner and maybe hang out in the lounge for a little bit after. Just being in NYC at night should be fun.

Sat-Sun hasn’t been completely figured out yet. But some spa time is expected.
