I've been lucky to have been to The States a few times now and have visited places such as Atlanta(AL) when I went to watch the 1996 Olympics. Then Florida (FL) when I did the whole tourist thing and visited as many parks as possible in one week in Orlando including Sea World, Epcot Centre, Universal Studios etc..After a very tiring week trekking around all these parks we took a nice relaxing week sunbathing in St. Petersburg and did some jet skiing and parasailing too.

I visited Miami for Easter or Spring Break as you Americans call it!! ;-) which is where I met my friends from New York... Clinette and Shiloh. We all stayed on Ocean Drive and we all danced and partied for the whole week together!!! You'd be so proud of me now guys my salsa dancing is fantastic!! heheheee well some credit has to go to the great guys that I dance with too I suppose!!! ;-)

I spent a month living and training in Tucson and Phoenix in Arizona (AZ) when I used to swim competitively a few years ago. That is the most amazing place!! It is just so unbelievably hot there it's crazy! I'll never forget looking at the temperature gauge one day and seeing it was 114F!!! Now that's Hot! and the whole time I was there I trained outdoors!! It had to be very early in the morning and late in the afternoon as the sun was so hot in the afternoon and even then I got burned!! Mind you with my complexion that wouldn't be hard!!

I went to New York (NY) just five months before September 11th and can say that I had such a good time there! I stayed with friends of mine in Harlem for two weeks and it was one of the best holidays I've had!! The city life in New York is electric and the clubs and the people are amazing!! We had such fun going out to the clubs and bars and meeting lots of different people!

New York was just Fantastic!!! I did all the tourist things as well with my mates Clinette and Shiloh, I went to The Guggenheim museum, The Intrepid sea, Air and Space museum, the Modern Art Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Empire Estate Building and the World Trade Towers too. We did lots of walking around and shopping too and even took a ferry to Staton Island as well.

We did soo much during the day and then stayed out half the night partying and dancing - we went to Time Square, 5th avenue, Harlem , the Bronx, little Italy, China Town and went through Central Park too. Although I think we packed so much into those two weeks ....you know what, I'd still need to go back to do even more!!! maybe someday! :-)
