In August of 2006 we visited the windy city of Chicago. Some of the highlights of our trip include the John Hancock Observatory Tower, Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago Aerial Photographs, Navy Pier & the Ferris Wheel, the Magnificent Mile, Michigan Avenue, and a review of the Westin Hotel (a Starwood property).
Tulum Mayan Ruins, Yucatan Peninsula – Mexico
One of the side trips on our Carnival Cruise lines trip to Cozumel Mexico was to the Tulum Mayan Ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
Cozumel Mexico – Carnival Cruise Lines
My first trip on a cruise ship was aboard a Carnival Cruise liner on it’s way to Cozumel Mexico. Next time I won’t spring for the room with a view since we were never in there during daylight hours.

A work function brought me to this pricey Ritz Carlton Hotel located on the world famous “South Beach” area of Miami Beach, Florida. Click on the link below for my hotel review and some pictures.
Fort Lauderdale New Year’s Eve
For our 2005-2006 New Year’s Eve celebration, my friends and I visited downtown Fort Lauderdale Florida. The Las Olas Riverfront area is full of a variety of bars, clubs, and restaurants. During the night, we partied at Brick, Automatic Slims, Rush Street, Art Bar and the Voodoo Lounge.
Mustang Cobra & Borla Exhaust
In search of more horsepower, my brother has installed a Borla high performance exhaust system on to his 1994 Ford Mustang Cobra. Now this American muscle car has a deeper exhaust note and a generous helping of extra HP and torque.
Epping Forest Yacht Club
Recently I went to the Epping Forest Yacht Club located on St. John’s River in Jacksonville Florida. This historic mansion was built in 1926 by American industrialist Alfred I. duPont.
Pelican Landing Beach Park
Another stop on our Naples Florida trip was to visit the Pelican Landing Island Beach Park. Guests of the Hyatt hotel and residents of the Pelican Landing community can access the exclusive island beach via a water taxi.
Bonita Springs Beach Park
Bonita Springs Beach Park is located in Bonita Springs Florida, just north of Naples, FL. We spent an afternoon at this white sand beach watching the sun set into the Gulf of Mexico.
Markham Park Pictures
The only other time I had been to Markham Park in Sunrise Florida was for a 94.9 Zeta rock concert. I took a drive through the park and snapped some pictures of the various amenities.
