I'm staying at the Palazzo Hotel which is connected to the Venetian and it's great! All of the rooms have super fluffy beds, a sunken living room and office space, 3 plasma tvs (including in the ba...
Why do people love Vegas? I don't get it. Perhaps if you are a professional gambler, but other than that, I dont see what appeals to people! People liken it to an amusement park for adults. Ummm OK...
Of course for our last morning, we had to head over to my favorite little Coffee and Tea Shop in Salem. We each had a great (and huge) cup of tea before heading to the airport ... to miss our fligh...
After, of course, getting a bit turned around on the interstate, our friend righted us and we headed into downtown Boston for the evening. We walked through Boston Common and watched people ice ska...
We drove up the coast a bit and visited Rockport, MA. This town is so cute and the drive through the area was beautiful! We drove around a lot and then stopped in the old town (Bearskin Neck) to ...
Since the Lynnfield office holiday party was this weekend, we went up north to the snow (Ok, not a lot by Mass standards, but still, there was some snow.) Friday night we went to the office party ...
Wow! I got my Tom and Linas to try a new place to eat lunch!!! :) We ate at a great little hut called Omelet in Wakefield, and it used to be an old train station. Perfect atmosphere, including t...
Chicago Trip with LesliWe are having so much fun! We have walked all over the city, we've had delicious food and done a bit of shopping. We ate at two great Italian places (Osteria and Trattoria #1...
I am in Chicago for a work conference. Great event - made a few new friends. We ate a great tapas restaurant downtown called Emilio's.
The team had our "Fun Day" in Boston today, which was a blast. First, we had the requisite Dunkin Donuts downtown where we all met up (I'm pretty sure it was the second coffee for half of us).Then...
I'm in my Lynnfield office today visiting my team. I like working here - it's so quiet. But there is not much to do, see or report. Tomorrow we are taking a "fun day" off work to see some sites in ...

This may have been my favorite part of my trip (and it was just a couple of hours on the last day)! Bondi is a great little surfing town that's about a 30 minute cab ride from downtown Sydney. We g...
Karen and I did some great boutique shopping in Surry Hills, just a few miles outside of downtown Sydney. We found one great shop with a crazy lady who had all kinds of interesting things to say. W...
We went to an opera at the Sydney Opera House called Il Trittico, which is a set of three Operas in one show. The second one was by far the best of the three - I cried. The theater itself was much ...
Ok, new restaurant tops the list! Karen and I ate at Rockpool - a sensational menu! It was a fixed price menu of five courses - absolutely delicious. We had a sashimi starter, followed by cod, then...
I took the ferry to Manly Beach today, about 30 minutes beyond Circular Quay. It rained a bit but it was a cute little town. There is a lot of surfing in Australia. I ferried back, had my second ic...
Jan and I decided to have a drink at a bar that used to be a hotel, which made for great architecture and scenery. I must say, if we had been single, the ratio would have been quite beneficial ;-)F...
The area called Circular Quay (pronounced in French, like "key" in English) is only a few blocks from my hotel. That is the area that has the wharf with ferries, the Contemporary Museum of Art, The...
Went to a Tapenyaki Japanese restaurant last night with some coworkers and it was bring-your-own-beverages for alcohol. They didn't even charge an opening fee. I read an article on the flight over...
I am at a casino for a conference. The result of this is that many old people vacation here so I see so many interesting things. haha!Tonight some coworkers and I got a drink at one of the hotel ba...
I new that people from the South are the nicest, but I didn't realize that applied to hemispheres, too :). Aussies are so considerate! When we got on the shuttle for United airlines in San Francis...
I arrived in Gold Coast, Australia today! Man, that was a long flight from DC - 24 hrs. I took an ambien and slept most of the way. I was lucky to have a window seat with no one in the seat next t...
We spent this weekend in Birmingham, AL to see the brand new nephew, Carter. He is the most adorable baby ever! 4 weeks old and 8 lbs 1 oz. We took tons of photos and video and are in the process ...
Today we did a TON of walking. We walked around North Pond, along Lake Michigan and all around and through the Lincoln Park Zoo. It was great to walk in the shade with nature all around but then lo...
North Pond is a fantastic restaurant! The decor is art-deco/Frank Lloyd-Wright. The service was perfect. The view was great, as it opened up to the pond in the park. The food was one of the best me...
