So for the last week we have been off the radar. we have had a great time at the resort and driving around Hawaii. The resort is new and about 30 min from town so no to much traffic and for those of you who know Oahu it's about 30 minutes to every where unless you are travelling at 7 am in the moring trying to get to the airport but thsat is another story. So we have been chillin on the beach/pool/spa/bar/sand/bar -- oops typed it twice. Yep the kids after settleing in have had a blast and it is very tween/teen aware and they basically when not annoying us are off doing other really important things. Its has been so good we are thinking of making it a yearly event for the family and ... read more

1st full day in LA today so we took the touror around town. We have been around Hollywood and the city as well as Rodeo drive and Melrose for some shopping and window shopping. We got the tour of the Chinese theatre and Kodak theatre and oscars and stars walk. We had a good tour guide and a huge 6 hour tour around town. We went everywhere. Took some good pics and Chloe was a little disappointed I think that we didn't see any actual stars although everybody in LA thinks they are a star. We are planning dinner next door at the cafe next to the hotel in west Hollywood it is nice and the very helpful young men are all extremely happy. LOL! For those interested in cars I saw a Bugatti in Rodeo ... read more
Ok I apologies to those who have been wondering what the hell we have been doing. So we moved from NY to Vegas a few days ago. I have some great ideas about opening a airport shuttle company that will succeed, as I have seen the worst and the besT an the worst again. So we laneded in Vegas got our shuttle to the Planet Hollywood at about 8pm on Saturday afternoon =11pm NY time. Had some dinner as we had travelled all of the day without much food. Soeveryone was a little delicate and tired. Room service fixed all we had steaks and fries and fish n chips? It was verygood. Up the next morning nothing really planned so we went for a walk around the miraclemile of Posh shops and stuff and then down ... read more
Wow... Really sorry been slack and sooooo NY busy. OK we had a day ofshopping and then Sandra had her birthday so we went birthday shopping to a couple of special places. Location 1- Bloomingdales.

So after a travel day yesterday weneeded up in the local Itialian restaurant for a late dinner. It was a small family place with really big servings and really nice food. Home made pizza and the steak was huge and cooked spot on. So today we started with breakfast and headed off (after a briefdiscussion in the middle of the road) to Macy's. BONUS Sale day. +10%off voucher. Had some lunch in house and kept shopping. NB. Getting a taxi at 5 in NY is stupid. And getting on that will take 4 is even harder! Hence the decision to eat in tonight and get Ginormous Pizza. Sandra's birthday tomorrow so off to Tiffany's forsomething special. And then off for a nice dinner.... read more

We left the hotel at about 5pm got a taxi out the front and after a 45min taxi ride we arrived at the Amway Centre and sat down to watch the game which starts at 7pm. We got all the pre game stuff and games and all the other stuff like the $50,000 half court shot and the tv give away and other stuff like the obvious cam where they shoot your picture on the big screen for everyone to see and wait until you notice. 2min was the record and he got a round of applause from the crowd. Note. Orlando lost 109-81 to Atlanta This morning we got ready for Universal ... read more
