After Georgia we are finally moving back to seriously warmer weather and the sunshine of the winter...in Florida. These two coming entries are all about Tiffany and Leslie...and me making Mickey and his family a little richer! Leslie and Tiffany will admit easily...they are too grown-up to visit Disneyworld or Disneyland....thanks kids, I really appreciate! I've already been to Universal Studios with Leslie in LA...and in Singapore...we love Universal Studios and we'll be back...sooner or later...to show a good time to Tiffany, but this time, it was Disney time...not Mickey time! Weather was still a little to cold to do a waterpark....so we headed for Epcot and Hollywood Studios. We started by the "educational" option, I name Epcot. My third visit...the park is pretty old, re-inventing itself every few years....but I truly find this a nice ... read more

Didn't play golf...neither went to a church....but... Does Augusta deserve a blog entry? Maybe not...but than again...once, I was a 5 hcp golf player...you know, before I thought that being a single dad and diver...was more fun... If you have no idea what it can mean to be a 5 handicap golf player...don't worry, that's way in my past for the moment, it simply means that you can play serious golf...but that you'll never be good enough to try make a proper living playing golf. August, aka National August is basically welcoming the Masters every year. Let's put it simply, this is one of the top 4 golf tournament in the world every single year...in the same place! The British Open or US Open change golf course...and city every single year....the Masters don't! Augusta have around ... read more

Alta, you have probably never heard of this place... Everybody goes to Park City...there they have a St Regis...there is the Sundance Festival...and as the local radio put it, even Bieber is skiing in Park City (Who cares!). We were going to Park City too...till my friend Chip told me...wait a minute, you've got to ski in Alta...and this was later on confirmed by another friend from the States, Ed....both divers...let's follow the advise of my senior friends who know more about the US slopes...than I know for sure! Alta is just around 40km outside Salt Lake City. So to make it easier, and way cheaper we stay in Salt Lake and drove everyday. The original plan was four days of skiing...but from the first day the weather forecast was pretty clear....on Thursday, the winter storm ... read more

One dreams to see the world, and I can say easily that I'm pretty fortunate at touring it for the last 20 something years. My wishlist of places to visit is finally actually getting shorter by the year for the last few years. But Monument Valley, this place has been on my top 10 for years. Today it's done, and what a better way than to share it with Leslie and Tiffany. Don't even try to get me on how many places these two will have seen by the time they are eighteen...I know... You've seen the western movies, Forrest Gump, Mission Impossible, Back to the future....and all the other movies about this place. But where is that land looking like out of this world. Simple, border of Utah and Arizona...truly in the middle of nowhere...must ... read more

My first idea was to simply not do any blog about the Grand Canyon, and to put the pictures in my next blog. There are two reasons for this blog. First...what is coming next worth an entry by itself, without the need of average pictures from the Grand Canyon in the same blog. Second, was my feeling...and the one of Leslie and Tiffany while visiting the area next to the Grand Canyon Village on the 3rd of January. But first, let's come back few years back...summer of 2004... You don't come to the States "just" for the Grand Canyon. Most people will actually visit on a day trip either from Las Vegas or the Phoenix area. For me I splurged a little back in summer 2004...flying over it...than having an helicopter flight over it followed by ... read more
