Preparing for my American adventure

I'm counting down the days until my hubby and I jet off to the US of A.  It'll be a return trip for me, but the first visit for Ben.  I cannot believe it's taken him 32 years to travel to North America, but well worth the wait.  We're going for his 33rd bday and it's going to be exciting just to be in the states during Superbowl and watching from the party capital of the States - Las Vegas!

It'll be Winter time so I will have to pack the woolies and pack conservatively at the same time, as I have a lot of shopping to do.  We have decided to take only 1 large suitcase, 1 small carry on suitcase and buying luggage when we are there.  It will be the ultimate challenge for me, to pack minimally.  I am determined!  So I am making a list and checking it twice.  I won't make the same mistake as I have with every overseas journeys I have taken in the past and that's overpack!

I look forward to blogging my trip and plan on taking many photos so we can look back and laugh at ourselves someday.  There are bound to be plenty of funny tales in 3 weeks.

Back to the blog

After a significant break from writing my blog - I am BACK in a big way and busy with planning a USA getaway with my other half and working on a script for a potential TV show that would have significant appeal to young ladies and particularly to women in their 30's.  Perhaps a potential gap to where 'Sex and the City' left off.

Stay tuned for regular updates.  It's Summer in Melbourne and looking forward to the next few weeks prior to jetting off to North America.

My fave new place to wine and dine is The Newmarket Hotel - Californian Style, Hispanic Grill at 34 Inkerman Street, St Kilda.  www.newmarketstkilda.com.au - from the owners of The Albert Park Hotel and The Middle Park Hotel - the 3rd installment will not disappoint.  Call 9537 1777 for dining reservations.  The soft tacos are DELISH!
