CARNAVAL TIME!

All visitors to the Dominican Republic in February should do their best to attend the LaVega carnival, or parades in Bonao & Santiago, considered the most colorful in the country. UNESCO recognized the LaVega Carnival as the fourth in the world, after Rio, Trinidad & Tobago and the Canary Islands of Spain.






Also, the national Carnaval celebration in Santo Domingo has been moved back until March.

Mid-Winter Fantasy

After spending the last 32 hours trapped at work due to another winter storm I can not think of anything else other than a nice quiet place to enjoy the sun, surf and sand. Bear with me as I regroup...awwwww.

Rediscovering Ft. Lauderdale

For many travelers Ft. Lauderdale has begun to pique their interest once again. There have been renovations at several area hotels and the social life continues to be quite active.

There are a number of clubs to keep your nightlife jumping, but Ft. Lauderdale has other activities as well. There is a gym, Club Ft. Lauderdale at 110 NW 5th Avenue, to rejuvenate yourself or to exhaust some penned up energy. The skate rink, Gold Coast Rollerink at 2604 S. Federal Highway, is gay on Tuesdays.

There are several beaches you may wish to enjoy. The Sebastian Street beach is a scenic location. The NE 18th Street beach is quite cruisy. If you enjoy clothing optional you should visit Haulover Beach.

The location of this gay town makes it convenient should you chose to take a side trip to Key West.

A Prayer...

The people of Haiti have always been resilient. Let's hope they can pull through this disaster and once again become people of hope and determination. I have always respected them for that.
