Fitness Pattaya Hilton Style

After my workout this morning I just had to do a follow up to my last blog about fitness in BKK and share my Pattaya experience. I won’t ramble on about how awesome I think the Hilton is because I’ll save that for another time but I’m warning you I’m about to rave on and wax lyrical about this gym. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the gym attendant. The space is very small but they pack a lot in. There...

Fitness Bangkok Style

Even though I’m on holiday I do need to look after the figure. After all no one likes a fat punk … especially me since I’ve worked so hard to slim down this year.

This will be our fifth visit to Thailand.  Every time we leave BKK we say we’re going someplace else next time but the lure of...

Style before comfort in Melbourne

Today I’m posting from the fashion Mecca that is Melbourne….well actually from my mother in law’s house on the eastern outskirts.   I’m lying in bed with blistered and aching feet pondering yesterday’s shopping experience. I wore platform wedge heels yesterday because I didn’t want to look like a tourist.  I also wore them out of respect for my dear friend Mike from Chicago.  He was one of the...
