Living in Vegas

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Many people couldn’t possibly think that they could get away with living in Las Vegas, but there are the select few that can live in Vegas without ruining their lives within a matter of weeks.  These people have families and they have jobs at the casinos or they just don’t have gambling problems or drinking problems or are just simply faithful to their wives.  To these people, it’s just another town with great Las Vegas carpet cleaning and some nice, over the top hotels.

                    But people in Las Vegas have some problems in the fact that locals have a hard time paying the bills since it is such an expensive tourist spot.  Outside the strip, people lead normal lives and they clip Las Vegas coupons just like the rest of us.  They take their kids to day care and they go to work at regular hours even though the hotels are open every hour of every day.  I just can’t imagine how people who work at the hotels and casinos can control themselves enough to still have enough money to fix their cars at Las Vegas auto repair.  Thank the lord for these people who have some measure of self-control.

Top Three Nudist Beaches in America

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

There are several types of nudist beaches. The first time is a real nudist beach in which clothing is not allowed. This type has waned in popularity in recent years. The more up to the date type of nudist beach is actually a clothing optional beach. A variation of the nudist beach is the topless beach. The topless beach is pretty much a place where women bare their breasts and no other nudity is permitted. There are a surprising number of nudist beaches spread across the entire United States. Laws vary from state to state, and from town to town. It is a good idea to be aware of local laws when planning your nudist vacations. A nudist vacation is an exciting adventure if you have done the rsearch before heading to the destination. Some of the nudist resorts are located on or near bodies of water including lakes or rivers. The following list is just one person’s opinion of the top three nudist beaches in the United States.

* Little Beach, Hawaii. This clothing optional beach is located on the Island of Maui. Nude bathing is illegal in Hawaii, but this law has not been enforced at Little Beach for some time. A local artist named Dr. Leisure will paint your picture as a souvenir.

* Red, White, and Blue Beach. This beach is located six miles north of Santa Cruz in California. Activities here include whale watching and overnight camping. The beach is privately owned from the parking lot to the shore, and so you can even park your car in the nude here.

* Black Beach. Located in a seaside park on the San Diego shoreline snuggled against high cliffs, this is a popular surfing spot. Some parts of the Park prohibit nudity so you need to make sure you are in the right spot.

Beautiful Tuscany

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

One of the best places to visit in Italy is Tuscany. This I only learned from a friend (Yvette) who’s a frequent traveler. She’s been to many places and from the many places she’s been to; she couldn’t stop telling about Tuscany. Well, besides Greece, of course. Basically, she likes the place primarily because she’s a lover of both art and wine. Believe me, this friend of mine is a wine freak and you can certainly tell she knows more than anyone knows about wine. She gladly insisted this is the perfect place for wine lovers like her. Well, of course after her first visit, she learned of more interesting things about the place giving her more reasons to love and choose the place as her resting haven.Just like in many countries, it has been a tradition to Tuscany people to have vacation houses out of the city. This is what makes Tuscany more popular to tourists, well, based on Yvette’s stories. She even added that most Tuscany villas are being offered as tourist inns these days. Some are converted to hotels or bed and breakfasts, which provides a very accommodating resting place for tired tourists. It makes them feel like it’s their second home. No wonder there has been several Tuscany villa rentals available for everyone. Another friend, after being enticed by Yvette’s wonderful experience in Tuscany, took his family to this region of art, food and wine. I really had to remember the name of the place where they stayed because of how enthusiastically he shared his wonderful stay in Villa Ginestra. What shook my interest was his description of the garden. I so love gardens, only for now, I could only imagine how it’s like being there. Maybe soon, hopefully, I won’t have to put up with just descriptions and stories. I’d certainly take that long vacation and fly to Tuscany.
