joshua ]]> Eclipse, the world's largest motor yacht, anchors her 538' just outside the entrance to St. George's Harbor in Grenada. Boasting a crew of 75, three tender, two helipads, and a mini-submarine the yacht is a marvel of luxury and engineering. Eclipse couldn't have chosen a better day to visit - the flawless skies and calm seas were simply perfect.

joshua ]]> The evening commute from my office to our apartment leads me past this vista each and every day, with Glover's Island a short distance away and the airport runway lights below. Most nights the sun has already set by the time I make the short journey home, but on this occasion I arrived just in time to see the pastel peak of the day.

]]> Absinthe. The New York Times offers a fantastic synopsis: "Imagine Cirque du Soleil as channeled through "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and painted by George Grosz. A blend of skill, erotic innuendo and zaniness. The memorable moments make a jaded audience literally gasp." The venue was constructed to appear as a traveling show - weathered, vintage decor inside and out - it stuck out like a sore thumb on the immaculate stone plaza at Caesars Palace. With velvet curtains, aged antiques, and cast members showing patrons to their seats you couldn't help but feel transported to 1940's New Orleans. The stage was round, and seating was limited - just four or five rows of chairs circling the 12' performance platform, giving you a great sense of intimacy to the acts. One minute acrobats are twisting and turning directly over your head, and the next a sultry burlesque woman is seducing you just inches from your fingertips. It was Las Vegas variety at its best. Avi's favorite act: Skating Duo. All three intensity-building minutes are a must watch.
