Client Trip to Lisbon

I had a client that traveled to Lisbon in February 2008. They are very well traveled, and chose Lisbon as a unique place to relax and take a breather from life for a little while.

Here are some pictures they shared with me, and it sure does look like a great place to visit!!!

The narrow streets of Alfama in Lisbon take you back centuries in time.

Just walking around Lisbon is great sightseeing. Even the laundry is beautiful.

Here she is at Fort of Belem, guarding the harbor where Portuguese explorers discovered the new world 500 years ago.

Even teenagers and 20 somethings don’t mind being with parents when in Lisbon. This 21 year old, explores a castle at Sintra.

Hotel recommendation. Solar dos Mouros is just a few steps away from the Castle, Alfama, museums and restaurants. Ask for the river view and get a breathtaking view out your window every day. The 18 room hotel has original paintings and pictures that make it a special treat.

Viva Las Vegas Jan 2008

I have visited Las Vegas many times.

This trip, we stayed at Planet Hollywood. Planet Hollywood used to be The Aladdin Hotel and Casino. It was recently changed over to the new name, and it only has "PH" on the side of the building. This is for sure a hotel to see and be seen at. People get pretty dressed up for a night on the town!!! The location of this hotel is right next to the Paris Hotel, great location mid-strip.

We went to the Blue Man Group show at the Venetian, and that was great! We loved it!

I'm a big Cirque du Soleil fan, and I normally try to get to one of those shows, but we tried this show, and it was very fun.

Planet Hollywood has a spa facility, and it was lovely. It's located upstairs from the casino, so tucked away from the noise of the casino.

They do try to sell you timeshare here, so watch out! We were asked about this numerous times, it got a little annoying.

Every time we visit Las Vegas, we eat at the Harrah's buffet. It's our favorite, and still the best! One thing we noticed when we were at Harrah's this time, we noticed a new bar and grill for Toby Keith, called 'Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill' It looked really fun, but we didn't go inside.
