Part of the trek trying to make Executive Platinum on American Airlines. During my break for the day, I went to Diamond Head. Nice Place. Wish it was not raining.

For those of you that travel for your business and your companies don't buy first class tickets - you will understand what it means to have elite status. Can you say Monday morning catching the shuttle Miami - JFK? Just passing the line is enough.

SEA Restaurant - Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Located in Williamsburg Brooklyn, it also has another location on Second Avenue in Manhattan. It is a great location. And I got to tell you if I was a single guy!!! WOW. I would hang out there every night. Only one issue, the bar scene is not that happening. But definitely a lot of beautiful people of all ages, sizes, creeds, etc....
Now for the food, went for the 1st time with a group from my office. It was a good thing. We got to sample each others plates as well as the appetizers. I would say that the prices are reasonable and the food was great. Definitely would return.

Hotel Aqua Waikiki Wave - Honolulu
Having gone to Honolulu on several occasions now, I must like it. Because usually my trips there are just little get a way jaunts from NYC. Yeah NYC. I must be crazy. While there a lot of Aqua Hotels in Honolulu, I like the location of the Wave. It is centrally located. Not to far from some beaches, Diamond Head, Shopping, Clubs, Restaurants. I have only stayed on the infamous North Shore once and quickly discovered I was not a surfer. Plus, I love all the great Asian restaurants nearby.

Fratelli la bufala - South Beach Restaurant
There claim to fame has to be Pizza. In a town where everyone tries to make Pizza sexy...they do it right. To quote my buddy from Rome - "Just like home". Being a New Yorker, this is not another copy of "Original Ray's"...This place has good Pizza. They sponsor their Pizza makers on 6 month visas to come over from places like Roma and Napoli (Naples) where they make it right. Good stuff will definitely be back.

Renting in Rio De Janeiro
Well has some of my friends already know, while I am a huge Brazil fan, not a huge Rio Fan. Rio de Janeiro, like, a lot of cities in Brazil has a lot to offer. One thing for sure – the best bet in Rio is renting apartments – especially when traveling with someone or a group.
The other thing that is good and bad about Rio is that everything happens between the boroughs (barrios) of Leblon and Copacabana – actually a lot happens in areas, like Barra Tijuca, Lapa and others but for the tourist – Leblon and Copa can offer you a lot and are centrally located.
I happen to like to stay in Copacabana due to its proximity to some of my friends and also being closest to the metro and buses to go to other places. It also happens to have a lot of good restaurants and clubs that are not as touristy as some of the ones in Ipanema – definitely not at pricey.
My last couple of times there – I have used Rio Rentals 4 Less.
One of the locations:
Rua Constante Ramos 13 & Avenida Atlantica - with Internet, and International Phone Available! Lateral Ocean View, 3 Bedroom with private entrance to apartment (1 Apartment per Floor). 3 Queen Beds, Cable Flat Screen TV, IPOD Connection in all Rooms, Living Room, Dining Area, Full Kitchen, 2 Full Baths. Excellent location directly across the street from the beach and close to everything. Digital Safe, 24 Hour Doorman security.Towels and Linens Included.
• Local Convenience:
o Luncheonette
o Breakfast / Juice bar
o 5 Eateries
o Pharmacy
o Locksmith
o Internet Cafe
o Laundromat
3 bedroom ( 3 Quartos)
Low season - US$120 / night
High season - US$ 140/night
Clean and close to the beach. The price is also right when you consider that a decent hotel will run you about $100-200 (USD) per night.

Torri del Benaco - Verona - Italy
The Port
At one time it was the center of trade in the town: cargo ships traveling between Desenzano and Riva and "bisse", typical fishing boats of Lake Garda, used to dock there. On the northern end of the port sits the 15th century "Palazzo della Gardesana", the seat of the "Gardasana dell'Acqua" council, a federation of ten communities that also had the task of suppressing and controlling smuggling on the lake during Venetian rule. The Council chapel in the nearby S.S. Trinita Church still conserves 14th - 15th century frescoes of the Veronese School. Beneath the porticos, caulkers built and repaired boats. The vaguely shell-shaped quay is considered to be from the Roman period.
Malcesine
Clustered around the foot of the castle and the "Captains' Palace", the old town with its small port, squares and streets filled with shops, bars and picturesque restaurants has a magical charm. With more than a hundred hotels, over three hundred apartments, numerous rooms to let, villas and twelve camping sites, Malcesine in one the most elegant and well-equipped holiday resorts on the lake. The pleasant mild climate all year round permits walks and excursions in the hinterland and on Mount Baldo, which is known as the "Botanical Garden of Europe" due to its huge variety of plant species. The community covers about 68 square kilometers and also includes the towns of Cassone (3 Km south, in the direction of Brenzone) and Navene (3 Km north, in the direction of Torbole), an important location for sailing buffs and windsurf fans.
Renting in Dominican Republic
For me there is no better place to stay when you are looking to spend time with the family than Casa de Campo. While other resorts have open up that provide similar experiences, Casa de Campo just does it right.
For some decent prices, you can find some very well accommodate houses and villas (2 bedrooms). Typically, I like to have a house with friends and spend my time at the beach and golfing.
These are some of the places that I have stayed. I can tell you the price during high-season (because I know I can't afford it - usually 2 - 3x low-season), but I usually pay in the range of $500 - 600 (USD) per night with a maid for a 4 bedroom accommodation.
Just "Google" the resort. I recommend your first time going there, if you do not speak the language, work through a travel agent or the resort itself www.casadcampo.com. Don't do the all inclusive, get a maid and have her buy your food at the community grocery store or in town. For about $300 US, you can feed a lot of people for a week.

Renting in Salvador, Bahia
If it is not obvious by now, I have a deep admiration and affinity for Salvador and all of Bahia. Whenever I go there, I always try to rent an apartment, even if it is for only a few days.
One of the places I stay is located in the "Corredor da Vitoria" overlooking the bay, nice place and well appointed.
Here is a brief description of the place. It can be found on of my favorite sites - www.vrbo.com.
Newly renovated condo on the bay on the walk between Pelourinho (the Historic Center) and the beaches in Barra. It has the best view of the bay you can find in Salvador. Excellent location for Salvador festivals such as Carnaval, Bonfim, New Years and much more. The condo has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and can sleep up to 10 people. Features include immaculate tile and granite floors, stainless steel appliances, all new closets and cabinetry throughout kitchen hallways and bathrooms. The condo includes cable and high speed wireless Internet, DVD with surround sound and a stereo system. Appliances include large capacity refrigerator and freezer, stove, microwave, washing machine, blender, coffee maker, iron, sandwich press and water filter. Maid service and airport transport available.
Location:
Avenida Sete de Setembro - 2044, Salvador, Bahia
Renting in Hawaii
I had never wanted to go to Hawaii. And one day, I was trying to find something different to do - I said why not Hawaii. I first took a short trip to Honolulu (2 days believe or not) did not really see what I wanted (beach, relaxation, green) decided on Kuaui, after speaking several of the locals in Honolulu.
So I begin "Googling" for apartment rentals - was planning on staying 13 days. I am a huge fan of Apartment Rentals while on vacation. Nothing like having a home away from home.
Choose Rosewood Apartments - they provide excellent service. Very knowledgeable and even hooked me up with the local fishing guys to get fresh fish everyday.
