Monty's Place - 2000 Travels












Provo, Utah - January 10-14, 2000


WHOA! What a trip! I learned to ski at the Brighton Ski resport. Not alot of cola or booze in this area but, a fun place none the less. I saw the State Capital, the BYU "Y" on the moutain, the Morman Temple, I ate at the Robert Redford "Sundance" ranch and a saw mountain lion. I met some great people and can't wait to go back.




San Diego, California - January 23-27, 2000


Ahh... a sunset on the beach. That's right, a pacific sunset on the island of Coronado on the beach of the "Dell" hotel. Kinda cool I must say. I saw an Aircraft carrier in port and whole bunch of other navel ships. I also met up with my friend Cate and her step-daughter for dinner one night, between LA and San Diego. Holy cow did we eat!


Long Beach, California - January 28, 2000


Quick stop here on my way home. I did get to tour the Queen Mary and tour a cold-war Russian sub, Scorpion! Now that was cool! I need to come back.




Chicago, Illinois - January 31 thru Febuary 2, 2000


This trip was to short and too cold. Ask me about the plane ride, WHOA!


Minneapolis, Minnesota - Febuary 14 - 16, 2000


All I can say is MALL OF AMERICA. If you've never been there, you've never been to a mall.


Raleigh, North Carolina - Febuary 27 thru March 3, 2000


Man, did I get bit by the golf bug down there. Nice town but, I just never had the energy to go anywhere. So, I stayed at the hotel and enjoyed the warm weather. I did goto the Angus barn for dinner one night, nice place.


Minneapolis, Minnesota - March 7 - 16, 2000


The Star Wars exhibit is in town and how could I miss it? Ya know, if they had warmer weather I'd move here. Of course, I went back to the Mall of America to explore some more.


Los Angeles, California - March 28 thru April 1, 2000


NeoCon West Trade show. Wow, what a trip... I explored Pasadena and a resturant called Monty's (awsome food) with Jan and a client, John. Jan and I spent a day at Venice beach and got some sun! Even took a pic of the building that was destroyed in the movie Independance Day! (we stayed at the Regal Builtmore right across the street).



Raleigh, North Carolina - April 24 - 28, 2000


Back to Raleigh! I did a little more this time. Drove around downtown and hit a few bars. Saw a couple of movies and explored a mall. you know... the usual.


Baltimore, Maryland - April 30 thru May 5, 2000


Charm City. Went to Inner Harbor one night. I watched the Red Wings lose game 4 of the playoff's to the Ave's in OT at the ESPNzone. Sat right in the front row. Very nice downtown area. Camden park had a baseball game going and the weather was GREAT!



Omaha, Nebraska - May 30 thru June 1, 2000


Quick trip and didn't get to see anything but the airport.

Chicago, Illinois - June 11 thru 14, 2000


NeoCon convention was not as much fun this year. But hey, Chicago is Chicago and THAT is alot of fun! Ernie and I did crash the Steelcase Details party at "the drink". We got bored fast and made tracks to "Crazy horse too".


Las Vegas, Nevada - July 10-14, 2000


What can I say! Bungy jumping, casinos, saw the Star Trek exhibit at the Hilton and the HOT weather. I tried to do it all but it's just not possible in one trip. I stayed at Treasure Island (got robbed one night) and had a blast! I don't think I could type it all hear, ask me Instead.


Lexington, Kentucky - July 16-19, 2000


I stayed outside of the Circle 4 so, I never got into the city. I spent most of my time at the local mall. The people I trained were awsome!

Atlanta, Georgia - August 6-10, 2000


Whew! Hot hot hot. Stayed on the Northeast side. Got a tour of some multi-million dollar homes. ALOT of computer jobs in this market. Anyway, ate at some nice resturants for lunch and dinner like the Buckhead Diner.

Chicago, Illinois - August 12, 2000


I took the boys to here for an afternoon. We spent the time at the Field House. The Star Wars exhibit was in town, as well as "Sue" the most complete skeleton of a T. Rex!



Bronx, New York - August 20 - 23, 2000


Not having a rental car I was not able to venture out. I only wish I could have gotten downtown but, maybe next time.

Elmont, New York - September 17 - 20, 2000


It's next time! Wow, Tim and I went to midtown to Times Square. WWF, ESPN, ABC, and so much more. We had a wild train ride from Elmont to Penn station. Then we saw Madison Square Garden (Rangers had a home pre-season game) and the Empire State building. Taxied over to the Twin Towers and WOW... they are awesome. Oh, and we even took the subway for kicks. All in the pouring rain.



Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - November 17 - 20, 2000


Last trip for current company. I stayed in my hotel, watched tv, swam and worked out.
