You spend days, weeks, months and sometimes years planning a vacation then like that it's over. Today is that day for me and Alonzo, our last day to enjoy in Puerto Rico, so we're heading to Viejo San Juan or Old San Juan which it is more commonly known as. Puerto Rico has amazing food, beaches, people, so much culture to soak up but when I visit a place I like to learn about the history. So on this day we will learn about the history of Old San Juan which is the oldest settlement in Puerto Rico. Today is just like every other day we've been in Puerto Rico I head down to the street to Espana to get us some breakfast and you know Alonzo is still sleep, so I get breakfast and come ... read more

Hello everyone it's me again with another day in Puerto Rico. Today me and Alonzo are heading to the El Yunque Rain forest, it's the only rain forest in the United States Forest System, it's located in northeast Puerto Rico. One of the good things about the island is that you can drive from end to end in maybe 2-3 hours, but Isla Verde to the El Yunque is only about 30 minutes. When I wake up today the sun is out so the day is already off to a better start than the day before. Of course Alonzo is still sleep cause that's what an 18 year old does when they dont have school. I walk over the freeway and I'm at Isla Verde beach, it's a beautiful day, people are out walking the beach, ... read more

The second day of our east coast adventure took us to Pennsylvania to visit Villanova University, as a Tar Heel fan it was hard to bring myself to go out there after UNC lost to Villanova in the National Championship but I have to do what's best for my kid, that's what I tell myself over and over and over. The tour at the university isn't scheduled until 2pm so we have some time to sight see the city of Brotherly Love, luckily for us the day we go to Philly is the same day as the NBA Draft and the Sixers have the first pick in the draft. Philly sports talk radio is very entertaining but today it was Bourne Identity entertaining, yes I love Jason Bourne movies, who doesn't? Okay let me get back ... read more

They say all great things must come to an end and our vacation to Paris ends after today, sure I'll miss the taste of warm buttered crossiants, sitting at the sidewalk cafe enjoying beautiful 70 degree weather, walking down the sidewalk looking at boats go down the Seine River and of course the cognac. Since today is our last day we decided to just enjoy the day and soak it all in, today we would go up to Montmartre to see the Sacre-Coeur Basilica and then to the Champs-Elysees so my wife could do one of her favorite things in the world, shop for makeup. It was a beautiful day so I got up and got us some breakfast then we ate, relaxed in the room before we decided to head out on today's journey. We ... read more

The third day of our trip brings about a lot of excitement, we're heading out to Versailles to visit the Palace of Versailles. History is excites me a lot so I'm looking forward to this, Versailles was the home to Louis XIV, his great-grandson the XV and finally Louis XVI before the French Revolution where Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were imprisoned. Their lavish spending was the blame for the financial crisis in France and ultimately led to both of them being beheaded and the monarchy being abolished. Enough about those gory details and lets get back to our trip to Versailles, I will skip over the breakfast part cause you already know what we ate, we made our way to the train and Versailles is outside the city so it's about a 30 ... read more
