Cancun - Forgotten Tennis Shoes


LaShawanda explored our resort last night and discovered the gym. She was excited about all the things she could do until she realized she had forgotten her tennis shoes. Does this sound familiar? Sounds like a shopping trip.
After a failed attempt last night of walking to a mall and finding nothing. We received directions for a better mall and store to find a good pair of shoes.
With only 10 pesos to my name, I wonder what would be the damage.
One happy shopper.

Our Room at Cancun Palace in Cancun, Mexico

This room is nice with double beds (a single king would have been great for us), jacuzzi tub, HDTV, bottomless bar (we really don't drink), and more.
The walk out balcony put this at the top of my list for places to stay. The doors open wide to let in the ocean breeze.
Did I say that this was a free trip LaShawanda received from lia sophia? It included this great bag with beach towel/robes.
The owner of lia sophia left a little note and bottle of wine for us in our room. Nice points scored here.
More of the view. I also found out about 1,000 lia sophia people and their guest are here. We made their week a bellhop told us. Only 200 other guests are here.
La could not get enough of the view.

Flight to Cancun, Mexico


Wow! Heading to Cancun, Mexico for a free vacation! Thank you lia sophia.

We were happy until we were delayed for about an hour. No matter we were still happy to get a little getaway trip.

The boys are well cared for at the house... their grandmother is in town and she has help.

Touched by the Light - Raymond Holman, Jr.

On Sunday my wife and I spent some time with a great photographer friend of ours, Raymond Holman, Jr.
He has some great work and on the day of our visit, he was displaying a keynote piece, "Touched by the Light." He captured this astonishing image the fall of 2009 and it has changed his and others' life.

Zeta Phi Beta Finer Womanhood Awards Luncheon and Fashion Show at Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue

This was a fabulous event. In the years I have been covering the Zeta Phi Beta Finer Womanhood Awards Luncheon and Fashion Show, this has been the best so far. The atmosphere, the vendors, the honorees, and the fashion... all were outstanding.
The event photos will be available soon. Sign the event guest book at this LINK to be notified when they are available so you may see it all.
