It felt very surreal being in the same lodge where Dirty Dancing was filmed all those years ago. The exterior of the main lodge, the cabin where Baby stayed, the gazebo, the porch where they ate breakfast, the staff quarters where Johnny’s room was, the corner where Baby sat (yep, that famous one) ALL look…

Washington 2015
Washington . . .well, it was definitely better the second time around with Mel. The monuments, the white house, the bars and restaurants – all so good. We even managed to get out to Arlington Cemetary and the Pentagon – which after meeting Rob in NYC and telling us his recounts of 9/11, gave me…
New York . . . Still
(And this is a long post, sorry). What another crazy visit it was. After the 9/11 Memorial we headed to our new found local (pub underneath our fabulous hotel, which was only a block or two back from Central Park). Where we chatted with both bar staff and locals – it’s where we met Rob,…
New York, I think I love you
Day one in New York and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Spent most of our day down at the 9/11 mem0rial. It’s just devasting, but amazing to see. We walked for about 8 hours through Chinatown, Little Italy, Financial District, Tribeca and the Meatpacking district. Watched an episode of Law and Order being filmed near the…
Vegas Baby
Only two full days in Vegas but felt so much longer! The view from our hotel room was amazing, overlooking the Bellagio fountains and down the strip. The Cosmo is such a big beautiful hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed two days drinking cocktails by the pool, gambled a little and explored a bit more of Vegas…
Dubai – A little 3 day adventure
Wow, what an amazing city!! I’ve never seen a place like it before. From the Old Town, the boats on the creek, the old Souks, the desert, the world’s biggest shopping mall to the tallest building in the world – it really does have everything. Our adventure started at the old souks (gold & spice…
LA Day Two
Another beautiful day here in LA, the weather is so warm – it’s been at least 30 degrees each day. Enjoyed a day of doing things I haven’t done in LA before. I did my own little shopping/bar crawl of Beverly Hills – it was great fun. Enjoyed a night at the Comedy Store (stand…
LA Day One
The weather is incredible, hot as and not a cloud in the sky. The train ride here was good – funny, and relaxing. I met some crazy characters – strange and interesting! Many a small town folk. Saw the ghettos of the mexican border – very third world, Texas seemed to go on forever, watched…
Rockin’ Out in New Orleans
New Orleans was awesome. It’s such a fun and lively city but Halloween weekend is insanely awesome and really freakin’ exhausting!!! So much fun. Nat (my friend from Perth) had two friends there the same weekend. So she introduced us through Facebook on Friday afternoon. It was great fun and very helpful because I was…
Covington, Georgia
Last night I stayed in the most luxurious Bed & Breakfast I have ever stayed in. It is an old mansion in this little quaint town 30 miles outside of Atlanta Georgia. It was built in 1836 and each room has been renovated and furnished with a theme from classic old movies (Gone with the…
