Star Trek 2009.

Finally saw the new Star trek movie last night. It was great!  I don't understand how the guy sitting two seats over from me kept falling asleep, I think it had something to do with what ever he kept drinking wrapped up in his jacket. Anyway, Thank you JJ Abrams for making a movie that didn't suck. And thank you Sylar/Spock for not cutting the top of Kirks head off.  Uhura was a babe when she was young. Thank you Leonard Nimoy for showing up. And where was Winona Ryder in the movie?

Oh Canada!

Hey, I'm in Kelowna Canada right now with my brother Eddie and visiting with some good friends, Terry & Scott and their families.  Visited the Mission Hill winery which was beautiful, had a yummy snack of different cheeses, with an amazing view of the valley and Lake.

Later went to the harbor had Pizza. 

Bumped into Craig McTavish who used to be the 

coach of the Edmonton Oilers till fired in April, he also played alongside Wayne Grezky  (also Craig McTavish was the last NHL player to not wear a helmet in a game.)  Some useless trivia for you there.

Tomorrow I will be sharing at Lake Country Church in Kelwona, and there will be a movie screening tomorrow night.  Over all having a good time with my brother. Stay tuned, hope to get more pictures from my Ireland trip.

Another great day in Dublin...

Well the day started off raining and me sitting on the top of an open air double decker bus, but loving every minute and every rain drop. Took a loop around all the cool and scenic places of Dublin. Got off the bus and toured the kilmainham gaol prison, filled with history and scary cells, finished the bus ride, took an nap then off to a soccer game between the Bohemians & Dundalk. That was GREAT!!!


Some pictures from today: More later... I want to give a shout out to my cousin Ann Lechuga: "Thanks for all the good advice, having a blast".

Day 2 in Ireland:

Nothing yet, we just got started. Raining like crazy, glad I brought that $200 (It was on sale!) North Face rain coat. We are off to see a bunch of really old buildings. Yesterday was great. More pictures coming soon. Miss you all.

Our first day in Dublin, Ireland.

Well here we are, I can't belive it. yesterday Wednesday morning at 11:30am we were in San Diego, Now we're standing on the OConnell bridge in downtown Dublin. pretty cool. After unsuccesfully trying to sleep on the plane, which is hard when you are 6'3 and the seats we're made for the hobbits on the plane, we groggly arrived. Took the cool double decker bus to the hotel (pictures of the hotel later). We went for a walk, here are some of the sights:

O'Connell Statue (My cousins are O'Connells)

It still has not really sunk in that we are half a world away. Josh was tired in this picture, but he is having fun. But it's pretty amazing. Everybody smokes here! and lots of pubs.

Below are just a few pictures of our first few hours here.

This was my first stop when we arrived in Dublin: COFFEE!

A couple more things...

Went to the Airplane museum on the way home from Riverside. Sammy loved it. I love this picture. Check out the name of the plane...

Also, thinking about buying this car 1941 Packard... But my good buddy keeps asking me why?
