There is so much to do and so much to see in Paris. The place is just a treasure trove of art, culture and magnificent architecture. We were wise enough to buy the museum passes before leaving Australia, so we had priority access to the Louvre and Musee d’Orsay. Having the pass allowed us to walk past the very long queue of people waiting to get into the Louvre, we went straight to the head of the queue. Now we know how the celebrities feel when they can bypass the queues that stretch for blocks, and walk right to head…

Star City Hotel

On our recent trip to Sydney we stayed at the Star City Hotel, a 5 star hotel that is just great. It reminds me of something you would see in Las Vegas (not that I have been there) but on a lesser scale. As we drove from Canberra to Sydney, a three hour drive, we left our car with the valet who whisked our car away. The valet parking was quite cheap at $27 for a 24 hour period. On arrival at the hotel we weren’t able to go straight to our room as a non-smoking room wasn’t available so…

We have just returned from Sydney where we went to see “Priscilla Queen of the Desert“ live onstage. Make sure you don’t miss this production. The performances, music and the outrageous, colorful costumes are not to missed, Paula and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I was one of the audience dragged up on stage to dance and try not to make too big a fool of myself. But I can now honestly say with hand on heart that I have danced on stage at the Lyric theatre. So thank you guys. After checking out hotel prices we decided to stay…
Just bought a video camera!

Some might say I’m a bit old fashioned but I have never owned a video camera. So when I saw a special in the Aldi catalogue for a Traveler digital video camera for only $179 I jumped at the chance. This morning I waited in a line of thousands to get one. Well I might be exaggerating a bit – there was probably only about 50 people queued up but fortunately I was about 10th in the queue. We all stood there discussing what we were going in to purchase. Some were there for the bargain upright freezer but it…
OOH LA LA Magnifique Paris is Magnificent

To all you romantics out there – take our advice and visit Paris. We stayed at the Hôtel Louvre Saint-Romain which was a little hotel about 2 minutes walk from the Louvre. A great location in the city center at 5-7, Rue Saint Roch. The room was comfy and was decidedly larger than the one we had in London. Once we had dropped of our luggage, we set out to walk up the Champs-Élysées which is of course the most famous, fashionable street in Paris. There are cafes and luxury shops all the way up the avenue and it is…
