…. If the Yankees aren’t in it, the Giants are my National League team. The New York Giants are going to walk away with the NFC East as I predicted to all my Cowboys, Eagles, Skins fan friends. Truthfully though, I am so happy they beat Dallas and put them out of their misery. A bunch of my friends had a suite at the Monday Night game in Dallas, where I would have been if I was in the States and I heard it was a sick time. I really do want to see t…

…endoza for my evening flight to Buenos Aires. So I said my good byes to my new friends, jumped on the next bus back to Mendoza and headed out to the airport. After yet another delayed flight I made it to my hotel at about 11:15pm and immediately headed out to La Cabrera, which is a famous and highly recommended steak place in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. I had to wait for a while which was OK because they give you champagne while you…

…reasonable. This place is Yama Sushi and it is my favorite sushi place in New York City. I am not saying it’s the absolute best place because it’s hard to deny how good Nobu, Haru, Tomoe, Sushi of Gari and some of the other expensive places are, but Yama is the best quality for the money sushi I have ever had. There used to be four Yama’s in New York but now there are only two. The one I always go to is right in the West Village on Carmine betwee…

I have lived my whole life on the East Coast and in the New York met…

…try). Anyway, I am back where my travel career started back in September 1998 in London, England staying at my buddy Mike’s great new flat in Notting Hill until Wednesday. It is and always will be one of my favorite cities but I must say I am very excited to get home to New York.

…out how and where to get such a license and will do so when I get back to New York next week from AAA. The bus drops you off right at the entrance to Kominato Beach. About 150 meters down a flat sandy path is the beach which at first glance looks right out of the Seychelles. It is pure white sand and surrounded by green cliffs and rocks that if it were granite would be the epitome of the famous Seychelles beaches. We hung out and took the views o…

…iend Mike’s house in Southbury, Connecticut; which is on the other side of Newtown. So to get there I had to drive right through Newtown. So I had to stop and pay homage to what happened. I spent a part of my Christmas in Sandy Hook. It was really emotional. Not just for me but to see the makeshift memorials along the road. To see the 26 candle displays in yards throughout Newtown and neighboring towns like Monroe. Some of the signs and memorials…

…restaurant as Cee-Lo Green who was in Eleuthera for a month to record his new album. Tippy’s restaurant was where we ate both lunch and dinner on our short 24-hour stay on Eleuthera. The short time on island was due to my plane down from New York depressurizing and having to make an emergency landing in Charleston-thereby causing us a 2-day delay in plans. That aside, Tippy’s restaurant was fabulous and to me it was honestly the highlight of the…
