Just wanted to give everyone a quick update from Las Vegas. the weather has been cold here with temperatures at freezing during the evening. I’ve had to wear my heavy winter jacket to keep me warm.
I haven’t gambled much here ($5) so far. I’m not a huge gambler to begin with and of course all [...]
I was hoping to take my holidays and head back home for Christmas this year, but alas due to airline regulations (on both Air Canada and WestJet), I couldn’t bring Junior along for the trip (9″ or 8.5″ tall?? – come on) and the Rex Dog Hotel was fully booked during the holidays. As a [...]

Yesterday Russ and I arrived back from our trip to Argentina (A 20 plus hour plane ride).
I know I have lacked in blogging about my excursions of the Capital City – Buenos Aires. The internet connection was way too slow and I had trouble even uploading my photos up. I promise I will blog [...]

There is just something to say about family. This trip has been a great way to connect back with them and get to know them all over again.
On our last day in Ramallo, we spent lunch with my Aunt Carmen and her family. They set up their garage with tables, and had the paralla all [...]

This day was another day of exploration.
Granted we had to buy our return ticket back to Buenos Aires for Thursday, we all grabbed a cab and headed down to the bus terminal to purchase our tickets.
From there we walked around the neighbourhood, exploring more of the shops and ended up walking towards the beach at [...]

We had a fantastic rest last night. I can’t believe I was finally able to sleep.
We had a late start to the day as we didn’t make it out until after 12 noon. We had decided today wouldn’t be a “beach day” but it would be a day where we would go out exploring the [...]

Finally in Argentina and even though my right hear still hasn’t popped from the pressure of the plane, I’m still enjoying the vacation so far.
When we landed in Buenos Aires, we had hoped that my father would be waiting for us to drive us to my aunt’s home, but alas that wasn’t the case. Instead [...]

As I type this, the pilot has just announced that we have entered into Argentinian airspace, I begin to reflect on the first part of this journey back to Buenos Aires.
The flight from Vancouver was fairly standard and nothing much to report except during our landing the pressure was so hard that I thought my [...]
Tomorrow is the day I embark on my 2 week vacation to Buenos Aires Argentina. Yet I am at home nursing a cold that will no doubt be a burden when I fly tomorrow.
This has been a trip I’ve been wanting for sometime as I just haven’t been able to go before. It will be [...]

So I’ve been playing with video lately and what perfect subject to video than our past Las Vegas trip.
These videos were taken with Russ’ new Lumix Digital Camera. There was no editing and you will notice one of the videos is on a 90 degree angle. I haven’t figured out yet how to rotate this, [...]
