FAMILY PHOTO!

Finally decided it was time for a "family" photo, so here it is!  Adriana on the left, Jimmy, Maria, and last but not least ME!  What a good looking family, eh?  So we have Adriana, the next airline pilot in the family, Jimmy the next USA/WORLD number one tennis player, Maria -- #1 in my heart, and me the lowly photographer.......................  ;-)

WELCOME TO HOLLYWOOD MILAGRO!!!

Maria's aunt Milagro (her dad's sister), came to visit us in Hollywood last night. We had a great time and wonderful dinner with her. Maria was able to catch up on all the latest news in Spain. Thanks for the visit aunt Milagro! We hope you enjoyed your stay!

MARIA AND I in ORLANDO

Here's another recent shot of Maria and I in Orlando. You can tell I didn't take the shot since our feet are cut off........a photographer "no-no".......LOL. It would have been a great shot otherwise, but it still turned out nice nonetheless. One of the flight attendants on our trip took the shot as we waited to go to the all you can eat lobster buffet next to our hotel. It was great. I hope Maria's mom and dad like this photo, Maria es MUY GUAPA!!! ;-)

CHRISTMAS LOBSTER

Well, what better way to spend Christmas than with your girlfriend and unlimited lobsters???? Yep, that's what I did!!!! Maria came up to Orlando (MCO), and spent the last few days with me since the flights to Madrid (MAD) were all oversold. What a nice Christmas present!!! We found out that the Boston Lobster house was just around the corner from the hotel so out we went, and boy were they goooooood!!! I think Maria loved them as much as I did too. Here's a couple of shots of us with the "Lobster mobile". One looks like the lobster is "interested" in the car, doesn't it? Pretty neat though, I must say. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I know I did!

SUNSET VIEW OF SXM

Sooooo............here's a view from our room in St. Maarten last week. Arnoldo (a front desk manager at the Maho), took care of us and put Maria and I in a great room with a FABULOUS view. I've attached a few other shots so you can get an idea of just how neat being in SXM is. (I've included a shot of Maria on the balcony so her mom and dad can see how great she looks!!!) Now you know why I want to retire there!!! How cool is this????? The sunset speaks for itself. Click on the photos to enlarge them. More tomorrow. ;-)

ADRIANA"S SCHOOL WORK

Adriana, my girlfriend's daughter, spends a LOT of time doing homework. (And I mean a LOT.........usually from 7 PM til 1AM almost every night of the week). Here's a shot of Adriana and Maria while Maria is playing on the computer (and if you click on the photo, you'll see she's checking out my blog....:-) ), while poor Adriana is sitting on the floor and working on a school project. I have to tell you, I certainly don't miss those days of worrying about getting my schoolwork done. Adriana is in an International Baccalaureate program and it is one tough program. She's doing extremely well. Keep up the great work Adri!!

BEACH DAY IN HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA!!!

Today Maria, Jimmy, and I decided to go to the beach here in Hollywood, FL. What an absolutely GORGEOUS day for the beach! The water was wonderful, the beach wasn't crowded, and a great time was had by all. It's so nice having a beach only 4 minutes from where we live. And the guys I work with up in Newark wonder why I want to commute? Pah-leez!!! ;-)
