Las Vegas February 2011
From our most recent trip to Vegas. Photos from our iPhones of the Cosmopolitan, car collection at the Imperial Palace, the Monte Carlo, Minus 5 ice bar, Andes cigar lounge, etc. The Music is some instrumental bits that I pieced together in Garageband.

LeDuan's Bar Tricks
From our latest trip to Sandals in Varadero, Cuba during December 2010. LeDuan has worked the Lobby Bar & the Piano Bar but now he's at the Pool Bar - where he can best perform his bar tricks! He may be a bit rusty though...
Monty & Sweetie - The Final Show
Our pets were our "Entertainment Center". And for almost 11 years Montana (Monty) our Golden Retriever was a source of joy for us. Sadly he became too weak & on January 26. 2011 we had to put him down. The 4th dog that we have had to do that. I believe that for me Monty was the best of those boys. Sadly missed by us, especially by his companion Sweetie.
