Wanted to bring parents to US for long time, business is too busy and I have to no time, finally , after made tones of money, I decided to go on vacation no matter what. However, decision made late still, only business class left, I have to bring patens to US, Seasy wanted to ski, so, I planed to go to Las Vegas and New Year's Eve in whistler , ski for 3 days, back to Vancouver .
29th is the only day I can get tickets, we left to Halifax 5:00pm to land Las Vegas 10:00pm. Tired, I booked 2 rooms at trump hotel. but only checked in 1. 4 people in some room, can not rest at all,I requested to change rooms as the pull out conch is too soft to sleep on, during the changing. I found out I did booked 2rooms, 2nd night , finally, we all sleep well. Trump has no casino inside hotel , no smoking either, very clean living in place. 30th, we started to visit hotel, Wynn is first one, oriental decoration, very colourful, Venezion hotel has boat inside, like Venice, we took a boat run there, very relaxing , I put parents at a gambling machine , went to purchased 2 circus Sul la tickets with Seasy .
Went to Cesar for lunch , the buffet waiting list is over 2 hours, we ate at Chinese Restrauant next door called "nine", Seasy and me went back hotel to change rooms , then, came back to pick up parents to go to circus at 7:30 by pirates island hotel , parents got to gambling at Cesar hotel till then , I gave them $80, till I pick up, they still have $60 left.
show is very excited, and is the most fun part of the trip, Las Vegas is cold at night, I went to hotel and brought a under pant for my father as he might cold later . Explain to him that he can wear after show. I sat at inside of seats followed by Seasy, my mum and my dad at very outside close to aisle. In the middle of the show, he decided to start to add this underpants , I did not noticed . Show was so excited, Seasy kept on screaming , rise hands to be volunteer , the MC went to our seats! Seasy screaming even harder, lights follow MC to our seats, MC sits on the arm of my dad seat! We are so excited , then, everyone found out a bug surprise - my dad is changing the pants ! He is putting on the 2nd layer ! Then, has to put the outer pants . my god, we laugh so hard , MC does not know what to do and started to chat with Seasy : where do you come from ? Etc,,,, my tear came out . MC left and my mum helped dad to finish wear the pants . Man , all audience around was looking at us. No one understood what he is doing. We just laugh.
Finished show, we went to pyramid hotel to visit . Had sushi supper there . Went back to hotel, quite late.
31st morning , we have to leAve to vancouver, go whistler to spend new year Eve there. Las Vegas will be fully packed on the strip , New Year's Eve, people all come to here, the strip will not allow car, only walk . It is a good thing we left there, 30th, traffic is already a lot,
Arrived Vancouver , I rent a town car ( so regret did not take limo , next time, I will definitely do it ) , go direct to whistler .
New Years fretting started to come, 31st morning , I got a lot from Asia , afternoon, East coast greeting comes from Halifax, Toronto , new year , Montreal. . When we took the taxi , greeting started from Vancouver . I realized asia , Europe and east coast all at 2014, here I am at the only place still has 2013, these few hours in 2013 brought a lots of happiness, four of us in a car, spent time this way was very nice memory .
Arrived hotel, pretty tired, every Restrauant are full, waiting time is 1.5 hour or more. We need to have New Year's Eve supper , searched around in everywhere, found old spaghetti house still have seats, have a Italian spaghetti for new year supper. Not bad . After, I fall in sleep, till Seasy wake me up at middle night to see New Year's Eve , there is little snow at whistler , thousands of young athletic gather at whistler squares , skier went throw fire ring with backwards ski , pretty excited show followed by fireworks . When count down finish, an lady turned back , hug Seasy , quite nice warm feeling , energy there is all positive and a lots of happiness .
2014 , jan. 1st, went to ski with Seasy, we took the blue , went up and down , it took 1 hour to go up, I got exhausted after 2 trips and sat inside bar to wait Seasy . She went to black diamond ! Georges arrived at 3:00pm, for first time in my life, I took a red bull . Did not know the consequence till middle of night ---can not sleep ! The whole night . Seasy sleep very well as she is next to fire place .
2nd, we did a private lesson for whole day, Sandra was "holiday Trainner" she just care about fun place, not teaching much. We went to Olympic trail, black Diamond, then, she brought us to glacier at black comb . We all never be there. Today is windy and cold , a storm brought 15cm snow , On top of black comb, visibility is very low , wind is strong, after lift, we went to T bar to reach glacier , it is so windy that George's got blow off the T bar , his kii slid down, I fall down also, can not keep the balance, we both sat inside snow, about 20-30cm deep, soft, clean snow, can not move. Do not know what to do ,
Sandra came down with Seasy, under the instruction, I stood up and went to ski at glacier. Can not see anything, everywhere is white and blurry , deep snow Barrie the ski, very hard to move fast, wind is so strong, it hits my body and push me fall down, when ever wind blow on me, I fall . It was not easy to move, every one told me only way is to keep on going. I started to sweat, steam went to gargle, can not see anything , body heavy like a bear , leg is so sore and did not lesson to me. Finally, reached cable station, George's and me decided to go down directly so we can take it easy , seasy went to Sandra to the park, got knows where they have so much energy .
We found green trial to come down, took rest once a whole , George's keeps on amazed by my ski skill ,it improved a lot, end up, we still lost, arrived black comb station. He gave $20 tip to ask local service truck to bring us back to hotel . A massage released all the sore and pain. Seasy got one also .
Dinner, we went to the one suggested by Sandra ,next to hotel, very nice.
Next day, we wanted to go with Sandra , but she is booked. Blue sky, lots of fresh snow, many skier came from Vancouver , we got to be at top, So 3 of us went to ski, Seasy ski so fast, we lost her when we just stArted. George's and me went to harmony, then, symphony bowl , top of the whistler . Widely open, few rocks in between , barley see trees, just snow and skier . Most trial is blue, tones of freedom , you can use all your skills and go from green to black diamond . I felt truce fly feeling , wind went through my ears, speed goes faster and faster, pass symphony , keeps on ski down hill , fly in between trees, feel like a superman acting in a fast forward movie , I definitely feel surpass myself, lots of great feeling : success , strong , skillful , I suddenly found another layer of sky, the one only skier can enjoy. Fells like inside a snow glass ball, few beautiful house at bottom of a mountain , top all covered by snow , you shake the ball snow flake fill all the space, beautiful like a fairy world, I am now lives inside the glass ball.
It is not hard to find a high happiness , many things can let you to surpass yourself and feel high, ski is definitely one of it .
With full of beautiful stunning views in my eyes and carved inside my memory , I finished another day in heaven . Forgot everything , did not have any stress , still treat Seasy and me a coconut sugar wrap massage , first time, Seasy is naked for a massage , I was courteous to find out how she feel . She took it in a good way, this girl now enjoy all the best in the world . Good for her .
Parents stayed in hotel for 3 days, they went to hot top to enjoy, my dad love it a lot, took an hour, he said the last time in his life to enjoy this .

oct. 2013, NY, Miami
Oct. New York Miami trip
New GM came at Oct.7th, I am busy to adapt his changes, then, need a break of course, bring Morgan from Europe office, and Pablo for Vancouver business, busy meeting Ll day alone . End of the month , we decided to escape for 1 weeks. 31st, Left to New York , stayed in Waldorf astria hotel at park avenue . Strange , after wealth increased , I get more real, do not care about the big name, care about real quality . The service of this expensive hotel is not impressive as the building . Just look old , being charged expensive. Rest is so so. However, location is great. We went to shop close by, all nice stores . He brought me a shoes, branded for Oscar stars - for banquet . Stylist and comfortable , "Angelina Jolie" worn it as well as many stars. Lovely .
Supper with aqua best Steven in china town , nice food , all kinds of seafood . Next day, went to visit his plant and meet NY freight forwarder air city. All young people , less than 35. Good age to do business . We sealed a 500,000lb deal . Very happy . 2nd is a Jewish holiday , Steven's place is in middle of Jew residence , stranger looking Jew everywhere . Big black fur hat. Long plait asides ears, a huge white poncho cover body . Everyone dress exactly the same . Jew does to touch power on weekend, can not switch on electricity , some weekend they have to sleep outside on balcony . Very special . Steven grown up with new, he said, be very careful with them. No heart at all.
1st night, Georges brought me to best Chinese Restrauant at park avenue "chang's" . We opened a most expensive champion : crystal . Over $500 a bottle . To celebrate we achieved good profit in our business . same period of the year, we achieved highest profit . Food and sex after are both fantastic . Always got good memory in New York ! Love it , does not how many times come to here, Never enough
Nov.2nd, left New York to Miami beach, booked a hotel on line called "red" , it looks like a low end hooker place . Dirty and not safe . Our feeling was bad and left next day to " fabeauloue" hotel . Later on, we found out "red" used our credit card to fraud and got caught by credit card company .
New hotel is really fabulous, huge hotel , 3 buildings with 18 pool and a beach. Connect with Miami convention Center . One side is tunnel where packed lots of Yacht , other side is Atlantic Ocean .
Very Busy party place, the last night before we left. A big Halloween paty hosted there, hundreds or thousand people all dress up like Hal-con . Funny looking .
Hotel feels like all inclusive , tried to keep All guest inside. Lots of bar, Restrauant , beach service, gym , sauna ,,,,, has it all, everything is good but expensive, if you have a little money, then all you want is to spend inside hotel. We got room all in with $250 a night, but parking/internet /food and massage is over $500 a day. Sounds crazy. But hotel located at Miami beach , really have to drive for 20 to 30 min. To downtown where you can buy something. Hotel area has nothing but hotel. You can not even buy one bottle of water elsewhere. We took a walk in the night, after supper, alone sand beach , under moon light shower, with sea wave music , warm with breeze, hand to hand. Walk a square from ocean side to lake side where yacht parked. Very relaxing and lovely feeling ,but , did. To even see one store,
3rd, we found the biggest outlet and let us lost there for 1 day. Thousands of brand nAme stores, breath taking price, we bought a lot . First time shop with him like this in outlet. One whole day ! Life indeed changed. Got slowdown . Can do the thing we like now, cool .
Miami is so nice, sunny, beach everywhere , not busy , food , shopping , boating , we are talking to buy a house there and hire a maid to manage rent .
4th, met Christian , our cruise ship VIP. He will join Olympic marathon next year. Over 60 years old. Still full of life . We had a fantastic time together,
I tried massage in hotel, the whole spa is really huge and well set up , services and massage are both great, Also did gym , gym facing ocean , I saw green grass, pool with people lying down under sun , Palm tree, beach, ocean wave, this view accompany me during the exercises , what can be better than this. Did not enjoy beach enough, already got to leave back to home .
