vacation

Check out some of these great photos!

My personal favorite is the spicy friend chicken.

Here is my top ten favorite things about this past weekend in Las Vegas.

I love going back to Vegas because there is always something new.

Have you seen a Las Vegas show? What has been your favorite?

If you have the day off, enjoy and make the most of it!

It was a great trip and I will admit, Kansas City has the best BBQ I have ever had.

Where is the best place to vacation to actually rest?

The exact moment of happiness PEAKS around the third day of a vacation. And it's true!

A few weeks ago, tracking for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was supposedly in the toilet. Early reports suggested that Tom Cruise’s fifth outing as super-spy Ethan Hunt was not getting people excited. This would be the end, the experts said, of a franchise that has kept Cruise’s career surging forward for the past two decades. Well, that was apparently a big load of crap because Rogue Nation opened well and opened in the same ballpark as the rest of the franchise. Even with inflation differences, this series keeps on hitting the same box office sweet spot.

Full disclosure: I missed the last 10 minutes of Vacation. Last night’s press screening started 20 minutes late, then began without any sound, which lead to a 10 minute delay to correct the technical difficulties. With an unbreakable engagement elsewhere, I had to sneak out right before the very last scene. So take this review with as many grains of salt as you’d like. If you think those final minutes might recontextualize everything that came before to transform a generally miserable comedy into a beacon of transcendent hilarity, so be it. Having sat through the previous 90 minutes, I’m of the opinion that nothing short of the long-lost missing footage from Orson Welles’ Magnificent Ambersons could have redeemed this dreadful film.

All I can say is, SO MUCH FUN! Just remember life goes fast and if you don't slow down and enjoy it, it will pass you by. I have a passion for traveling and of course vacation. Here are some of the photos from my amazing trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico...
