I had assumed that my second restaurant would be in New York, but instead, it became Las Vegas. Scarpett was the first restaurant I went to during my […]
As I lay face-up in a compromising position on the hard surface of the table, she hovers over me and our eyes lock. “Do you expect me to talk?” I ask. “No,” she replied. “I expect you to lie……down and relax. I want you to enjoy your Ginger and Pimento Massage.” GoldenEye Beach Ok, so […]

First, I must start by saying, this was my first over-sea’s trip in almost four years. Work has kept me very busy traveling in Canada and occasionally the US.
