Hotel Le Jolie Brooklyn

... of that bird I&#8217;ve ever had.<br><br>- Phuket: No entry here, since we were in such a resort bubble, it seems unfair to nominate any of the food, all of which was fine, but horribly overpriced.<br><br>I&#8217;ll use a (lame) food analogy to stop talking about food. If amazing cultural, natural, and gastronomic wonders were the tortilla and meat of our &#8220;trip burrito,&#8221; then our oddball experiences were the cheese and salsa on the top. No road trip can ...

... ablaze with people yelling and jumping up and down. Our little corner of Brooklyn erupted into a spontaneous street party - we honked as we went by and everyone started cheering.  Wouldn't have missed any of that for the world. But, now onto travels.  We fly to Zurich and then on to Istanbul.  The dollar is going back up, America has been restored and we're off on another trip.  

... but didn't see a single person cross the home plate. I don't think it was a very high-scoring game! Never mind though, the atmosphere was great and it was worth being there just to hear them cheer eachother on in true American style: "Come on Larry, you're the man" and "He's yours Rod, he's right where you want him". Great stuff. Taking the Circle Line boat tour around ...

... and of course each other... After tacos, coronas, and a serenade from our 83-year-old vibrant waiter at the fav Mexican spot, we headed back home. The neighborhood is a dream... Everyone seems to be friendly, and its filled with mom-n-pop shops. We live one block from a fresh produce stand, which happens to be across the street from the local butcher-- yeah---loving it!!! The apartment is also around the corner from Prospect Park, which Holden and I will be ...

... Staten Island), its surrounding waters and the Statue of Liberty from the Empire State Building's Observatory. Also within the Empire State Building is an interesting ride that will ...

We have officially decided on Venice/Florence/Rome via the Euro Rail. Any advice and tips would be great. We will update this blog when we have an official route. We are leaving February 28th out of JFK and arriving February 29th morning in Venice (which is a pretty cool way to spend the 29th of Feb). We then have 9 days to work with and have ...

Hi All, Well we went to the empire state building after we signed off on Tuesday evening, there were no queues and the views of NY from the observatory at night were fab!!! Yesterday we went to Liberty Island (The statue was closed to visitors) and to Ellis Island, the immigration museum was very interesting. We then went into the ...

... I'm sick of all the planning, I'm just ready for the damn vacation to begin already! I've really got to finish up, though. We leave in less than two weeks and I don't even have a packing list. I haven't just let the vacation fall to the wayside, though. Within the past year and a half I've spent a good $250 on Disney DVDs. I joined the Disney Movie Club in April of 2006 and got a good twenty movies for the holidays when they ran ...

... World Showcase is my favorite place on property and Soarin' is my favorite ride ever. I'm just sad that Spaceship Earth won't be open since it's one of my favorites and an Epcot tradition. It'll be very weird not to ride it on a Disney trip. Anyway, due to our love of Epcot we'll be spending the most time at Epcot, three whole days. Then we'll spend two days at the Magic Kingdom and one day each at MGM and Animal Kingdom. I loved ...

... The singular form is "panino". Fun with Italian, right! Fittingly, Josh Groban's "Per Te" flows into my ears now, and again, I feel compelled to try to understand the words more than the pretty sounds I have relegated them to until this trip. For those of you interested in great music modern though operatic at a lesser scale, please reference Groban's vocals. I have debated whether or not to photograph some aspect of the Concourse or Gate Lounge as my thought ...
