Happy New Year!

We hope you had an enjoyable, and fun Holiday (Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza) connecting with family & friends along with an exciting start to the New Year of 2012.

We finished the last two weeks of 2011 visiting family and friends in Southern California and four days in Las Vegas just the two of us. Vegas. . . a great date night idea (weekend), and we found a room at The Rio for only $40!

We explored the sights, sounds and smells of Sin City from the gluttonous Rio Buffet, uber romantic Venetian Grand Canal, the luxurious Qua Spa at Cesar’s (the best and most underrated spa in the country…. did you know I used to work at Spafinder.com for 3 years?) and the dreamy Bellagio Watershow from 51 stories above in the Eiffel Tower at the Paris (check out our video).

We also explored some of the not so visited areas of Vegas like the Atomic Testing Museum which chronicled the nearly 1,000 nuclear detonations in the Nevada desert. Quite a contrast to the entertainment on the Strip with the fiery tribal volcano show at The Mirage (video), and haunting Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay (video)

We started 2012 attending a series of performances and spiritual kirtan (concerts and chanting) at the World Beat Center in San Diego. I actually usually dread New Year’s…. I hate the drunken crowds at the bars, the roads are fill with drunks, parking is always a mess, everything is so overpriced. I feel compelled to celebrate when really I am just depressed that my last year did not go as well as I had expected and I feel like I am not getting to where I want to go in life. I am actually very content to just stay at home with a friend or my hubby and just snuggle with my doggie and watch Netflix to avoid all the drama and forced revelry that New Year’s is . I sounds like such the party pooper don’t I? All the contrived pretention and inauthenticity that comes from this day just irritates me. What about you? Anyone else out there that dreads this holiday?

We thoroughly enjoyed the music, food and vibe all for a bargain price of $27.50. I usually hate New Year’s Eve with all the crowded drunken revelry but this celebration was joyous and soulful.

Yep, you don’t have to spend a small fortune to entertain yourself and your significant other at some of those pricey events that are so heavily promoted.
