I'm getting so excited...

This time next week we will be in San Fran and getting ready to head to Vegas for 5 days. I/we have been looking forward to this trip for months. We have planned an all out relax this time. There has been no expense spared for our comfort. Business class all the way (except for a few short flights) The hotels are all gorgeous, (i.e. Bellagio-Vegas, Villa Florence-San Fran and The Melrose -Dallas). We even bought a new suit case to take with us just to use for all the new stuff we want to buy. I know it sounds like I'm bragging but in reality we have worked very hard to get to this point in our life and we deserve this. So I'm not at all ashamed to talk about what we are going to do. As we both agree life is too short and there is no good reason to sit back and watch the world go by and not take part especially if you have the means to do such and at this point in time we have the means. We have paid off all of our bills including the house and the car. We have put a nice sum of money away for old age (which for some of us isn't that far off). So right now life is good. Anyway, I think I'll close this up now and in case I don't write anything else until will get back I apologise now but promise I will post pictures when we get back. Until then take care and stay well....

Brokeback Mountain???

I went to see the movie last night. I think there must be something wrong with me but I was less than impressed. Don't get me wrong the cinematography was gorgeous. The acting was very good. But at the end of it all I just didn't feel for the characters. I expected to cry or get emotional and I didn't. This is a movie about love between two men who struggle against living life by way of what is supposed to "be normal" and they do so for years. I don't know maybe I'm just getting old and jaded but it just didn't move me. I know it is a ground breaking movie but it's not the first time we've seen two men kissing on screen. I don't think it deserves best picture and that's what I think. Please don't write comments that bag me. It's just my opinion, if you liked the movie and I know a lot of you did then good for you. End of story...

15 days later...

Well I'm still having trouble making time to post but I suppose when you look at this it's my blog and I can post when I want and if I want. So here is a quick one. We went to see the world premiere of a stage play called "Dusty". It is a musical based on the life of Dusty Springfield and not unlike the play "Mama Mia" which began here in Australia this play also looks like it's destined to become a hit. We were very impressed and can only say we hope the rest of the world won't have to wait to see this show. I can't say enough about the production it was captivating from start to finish.

We saw the play in Melbourne were we flew up for the weekend. That was our last plane trip until we leave for the states in a little under two weeks. We are to say the least getting a wee bit excited about our trip I'll try to post a few things when we are in the states it all depends when and where I get access to the net. I will try and I will try to post something else before we leave....

Lazy, lazy, lazy....

...or am I'm actually just busy, busy, busy? I would have to say it's a little of both. We are getting ready for our big trip to the states in February. As I talked about before we have quite the trip planned including San Fran, Vegas, Dallas, and New York state (not the city). We are so much looking forward to this trip as it will be the first real holiday in a long time for us.

As part of getting ready for the trip we have gotten a new security system installed in the house so now we will feel better when we go away. We have been buying a few things for the new house over the past year to make it more of a home and we would hate for someone to break and and take what is not theirs. So now we fell a little more secure but in the end of the day if they do break in they do.... Gonna go for now so until I kick myself in the butt to write a bit more... Enjoy your life because no one else will do it for you...

Happy New Year
