Juan Dolio, Rep. Dom

I had a great time traveling with my family in the Dominican Republic. We were able to empty the house, see our uncle, meet up with the lawyer, verify that all paperwork was still under our name, go to the beach, and most importantly, swim! Overall, I consider the trip a grand success because we were really productive. The productivity is thankfully due to the beauty of maintaining order, staying focused and checking off tasks on our list. This feat demonstrates that anything is possible as long as we're dutiful and our positive vibrations are aligned within ourselves!

Chesapeake Bay Getaway

"You don't need magic to disappear. All you need is a destination."

It's great to spend a few moments away and experience the unknown with incredible company. For the big 30, I had a wondrous time in the Chesapeake Bay in a bed&breakfast called the Lovely Chesapeake Waterfront Flat and we couldn't have had a more splendid time!

It's ideal for couples who want to get away from it all for a few days and is close enough to the local supermarket. I highly recommend the hot tub!

Philadelphia Flower Show 2014

Philadelphia Flower Show

The Philadelphia Flower Show, the world's largest indoor flower expo, is held every year in Philadelphia at the Convention Center to showcase manicured gardens and explosions of colors and fragrances. It's hosted by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, which has been in effect since 1827. The society's main goal has been to establish a pronounced presence of horticulture in the city of Philadelphia, one of the oldest cities in USA.

A lovely young lady and I had a jazzy time building memories at this year's Philadelphia Flower Show. We were both surprised and astounded by all of the luscious sights and aromatic areas in the convention center. With this rough winter, quite possibly the wettest winter on record pending tomorrow's snowstorm, it was invigorating to experience the rebirth of plant-life and realize that spring was just around the corner!
