Mangaratiba, Brazil - A Beautiful Place

Solange’s mother came to visit us and we decided to take a quick weekend vacation. Solange searched the map and found Mangaratiba. It is about 70 miles from Rio de Janeiro, but given the condition of the roads and the traffic, it takes between 2-3 hours to drive there. All that said, it was worth it. I have been all over the world, and I would put Mangaratiba up there with Yosemite National Park as one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited in my life. More »

New York City Vacation Slide Show

Man Oh Man. I have been working harder than I can ever remember. I am a man on a mission to finish a huge project sprinting to the finish line. When I want to, my focus can be amazing and singular. I really hope that I can look back at this period, and be amazed at how much work I got done.

Despite all of that, I decided to take a lightening vacation to NY with my family. We arrived on a Friday and went to the Statue of Liberty. We woke up the next day, and grabbed a train from Grand Central to Pleasantville NY to visit my cousin, Nancy and her family. My other cousin, Larry, was also kind enough to join us for the train ride from NY to Pleansantville. More »

European Cruise - Lisbon Zoo

Our last stop before on our vacation was in Lisbon, Portugal. I really wanted to visit some new cities since I had never visited Portugal. Furthermore, it was a chance to try out my Portuguese in a new land. The weather was great, and we took a tour bus which took us all around Lisbon and finally stopped at the Lisbon Zoo. It is a fantastic zoo and I took lots of pictures. More »

European Cruise - Tunis, Tunisia

We went to a lot of places on our cruise, and perhaps the ugliest place was Tunis, Tunisia. We had a some fun dressing up in the local costumes and also riding on a camel’s back. That is the basis for this slide show. More »

Swimming with Dolphins (Video)

In January 2007, Solange and I visited Cancún, Mexico with my brother, Dave and his family. Perhaps the highlight of the trip was swimming with the dolphins at Cancún’s Wet and Wild Water park. After swimming with the dolphins, there is an options to purchase a DVD. I then ripped the DVD, and put together this video. More »
