Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Destination :  Vegas Boulevard South Las Vegas, NV 89119
Time: New Year 2011



"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" holds true when you see crowd in the city: partying and ready to gamble 24X7.  Our nights were mornings and mornings were night...
Vegas makes you experience its life right from the Airport, So loosen the strings of purse as soon as you land. 


Because of cold weather, gambling addiction  and few days at hand we did not get a chance to explore everything in the city. But were able to capture few best parts...




Fragrance of sweet scented  flowers  
magnificent  grand interiors
Floral arranged Polar bear
Santa Claus 
Christmas theme greeted us at 
The Bellagio Lobby
















The brilliant modern look of Aria, tramp rides between casinos, cheaper blackjack table at Luxor, window shopping of best overly priced branded goods were other highlights of the trip.



The Best free show is the 5 minute dancing fountain at the entrance of Bellagio 
The lighted Eiffel tower restaurant behind the dancing waters captivates your eyes and you wish the danicng and music never stops... subtle yet romantic!!!


Last but not the least the best part of Vegas, which hardly gets credit is its mouth watering delicious food. Even the regular Denny's or Taco will not disappoint you. 

Fortunately because of the huge lines at the Buffets, we got to taste the best ever Italian food in our entire life. Do not miss Cafe Vettro in Aria. 


On the whole a nice trip, few close friends, few bites of cheese cake and a great boaster to start the year. 

"Another year, to banish worry, fear and doubts
To laugh, to love, to care and to give"

Walt Disney - Dream fulfilled













The dream cherished for 16 years came true when I landed in Disney world with friends on thanks giving of 2010. The feeling of a long lived dream coming true is  so soothing that all the stress of long drive from DC to Orlando vanished. Reality did not strike even once in this dream land.

I finally got to be kid again without getting any gaping eyes. 

All the rides, walks and crowd mesmerized us.  I was lost in the Disney shop. I wish I  had the power to buy all the stuff I laid my hands on. But 40 minutes in the shop, with my camera was not a bad deal either.  I went enthusiastically naming every character i could recollect and bragged to others of my Disney IQ.




In half day, we could just cover half the Epcot park: Soarin, GM Test Track , Nemo & Friends. Highly recommend Soarin ride for everyone. It was worth the long 2 hours wait. We did to visit few pavilions: China, Egypt,  Mexico but the WOW!!! mind blowing, amazing 30 minutes of the day was the synchronized fireworks & music with story of Earth.


 I wish I can go again.......
