Death of 2 of oldest people in US

I read this over the internet yesterday. I decided to post it here for my dear readers to know about it. Please continue reading to be informed!

WESTMORELAND, N.H. – Two of the oldest people in the world have died on the same day.

Mary Josephine Ray, who was certified as the oldest person living in the United States, died Sunday at age 114 years, 294 days. She died at a nursing home in Westmoreland but was active until about two weeks before her death, her granddaughter Katherine Ray said.

"She just enjoyed life. She never thought of dying at all," Katherine Ray said. "She was planning for her birthday party."

Ray died just hours before Daisey Bailey, who was 113 years, 342 days, said L. Stephen Coles, a director of the Gerontology Research Group, which tracks and studies old people and certifies those 110 or older, called supercentenarians.

"It's very rare that two of our supercentenarians die on the same day," Coles said.

Bailey, who was born March 30, 1896, died in Detroit, he said. She had suffered from dementia, said her family, which claimed she was born in 1895.

Ray, even with her recent decline, managed an interview with a reporter last week, her granddaughter said.

Ray was the oldest person in the United States and the second-oldest in the world, the Gerontology Research Group said. She also was recorded as the oldest person ever to live in New Hampshire.

The oldest living American is now Neva Morris, of Ames, Iowa, at age 114 years, 216 days. The oldest person in the world is Japan's Kama Chinen at age 114 years, 301 days.

Ray was born May 17, 1895, in Bloomfield, Prince Edward Island, Canada. She moved to the United States at age 3.

Tons of Fishes in Pacific Wharf, Disneyland CA

Have you seen a record catch in fishing? If not, you better click this picture here to enlarge and to know many tons of fishes were caught in Pacific Wharf in Disneyland, California. Imagine 7.25 tons of fishes? I guess I can't consume these fishes for fifty years alone.

I am only kidding guys. I just want you to have some fun. I also would like to inform you that you cannot find a shop here that sells office supplies. I can guarantee you there is a restaurant, cafe and bakery here but there is no shop that sells office supplies. Probably travel postcards and souvenirs from Pacific Wharf are found in here but not those stuffs.

I am delighted that once in my life, I visited this place called Disneyland.

Amazing Fountain and Dancing Water Show in Bellagio

I have a good news for you! Do you want to entertain yourself for free when you go for vacation in Las Vegas? I have something to share about it. Before 3:00 PM, be sure to position yourself in front of Bellagio Hotel. This is where you are going to see the famous Dancing Fountain Show in Las Vegas. I myself can't totally explain the feeling while watching this amazing and fabulous water show. The music blended to each water move will truly touch your heart.

I am lucky that once, twice and even more than that, I was enabled to witness this spectacular show in Las Vegas. Truly breath-taking! I wish to share some more pictures from this dancing water show next time. Remind me if I forget it. have fun watching the pictures here!
taken during my 2 months vacation in the US last 2008. I love this place! I love this show!

Disneyland, I miss You

Time truly runs so fast. Just today I received a message from a friend in the US through Facebook that she will visit me here in Germany. That would be great! Almost two years ago, I also have the chance to visit Disneyland in California. It was truly a very memorable experience. I had a lot of fun. This is one of the pictures I had during my visit. This was taken in Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. I am wondering if there is an office furniture inside this room. We don't have the chance to go inside because Disneyland California is so big that even staying there for a week might not be enough. I am still hoping to visit another Disneyland here in Europe. I guess in Paris, France. I'll let you know guys! have a great day!

Discover Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas

Have you been to Luxor in Egypt? Have you been to Luxor in Las Vegas? I believed I can answer these questions. First, I haven't been to Luxor in Egypt but I had already visited Luxor in Las Vegas. The Luxor Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It looks like a pyramid with a total of 4,407 rooms. Imagine how these rooms were built inside that huge pyramid hotel? I'll show it to you. This hotel was made after the city of Luxor or Ancient Thebes in Egypt. It was opened last Oct. 15, 2003. Three years later, that was the time I visited Las Vegas. Here are some pictures I took during my visit.

I was truly amazed by the architectural design of this hotel! It seems that I was also in real Luxor in Egypt the time I visited it.

Discover Fremont Street in Las Vegas

I did not hear about of Fremont Street in Las Vegas until I visited it last 2008. It was truly a fun experience. The same first night we visited it, we also had a bad experience because our car broke down near MC Donald. I can't remember the exact location of it. Drive thru MC Donald don't want to sell us anything because we don't have a car. We told them that our car is just beside their store but still to no success in the negotiation. Gosh! That was around 2 am and we are really very hungry after partying at Fremont Street. There was also no other shop out there. It was a very disappointing experience with MC Donald. I guess it has also an advantage because I already start to avoid fast foods like MC Donald. I am afraid I might have a bariatric surgery due to eating these fatty and unhealthy foods from this food chain.

We are just thankful because later on comes help from my brother in law's friend. Somebody towed our car and it is charged to the insurance company. If you have not seen Fremont Street where the famous Fremont Experience always takes place, you better watch the picture above. You can also browse my category here for more images. That is the famous Glitter Gulch and the biggest LED screen in the world. You can watch the performers like bands here for free. Such and amazing experience!

Travel and Discover Inside of Paris Hotel in Las Vegas

I dreamed a dream and that dream came true! Going and experiencing Las Vegas might be an awesome experience for many. This city fascinates me especially its buildings, hotels, architecture, statues and a lot more. Before the month of February ends, I would like to share this pictures inside Paris, Hotel in Las Vegas.
this is me taking a short break to pose at the sign. This is the evidence that I was there last 2008.

this is what you see inside Paris Hotel. It is only a part of it. more pictures to come next time.

Paris Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, USA, that is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment. As its name suggests, its theme is the city of Paris in France; it includes a half scale, 541-foot-tall (164.6 m) replica of the Eiffel Tower, a sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon, a two-thirds size Arc de Triomphe and a replica of La Fontaine des Mers. The front of the hotel suggests the Paris Opera House and the Louvre.

Sister's Car Accident in Vegas

This happened last July 2007, the first months in Las Vegas when my sister started to practice how to drive. As far as I know and correct me if I am mistaken, in the US, a person who has a professional drivers license can teach somebody how to drive. Unlike here in Germany, you must enroll in a driving school to practice driving. During my sister's first day of driving, she had a car accident. I worried about it and contacted her immediately. Instead of stepping the break, she stepped on the accelerator which caused her to hit their garage. That goodness it was only slight damage to her. Sad to say, the front side of the car wass totally wrecked and part of the the garage also. The worst thing is, she was hit by the airbag on her neck which resulted to burning. I immediately sent her creams for burns and scars to the US. She was thankful that there was no scar left on her neck now.

What is the bottom line here? Be sure that your car insurance is always up to date. You can read for auto insurance reviews to find information whether you are having the right insurance at the right price. I just remember to check the car insurance payments that were auto-debited last month on our bank account. As I checked our bank account history last Wednesday, I found out that the car insurance company debited a wrong amount. I told immediately my husband to call the said company to correct it. I am a banker and accountant by profession. I know how to check balance sheets, income statements, bank reconciliations and other accounting related stuffs. I guess it is basic.

I am happy that dear sister is now driving her own car in Las Vegas..Drive safely dear sistah! I miss you too!

Inside Caesars Palace in Las Vegas

It's a great pleasure seeing one of the luxurious hotel in Las Vegas. Even I don't have the chance to stay in one of their luxury rooms, at least I had the chance to see it in person. This is one of the favorite hotels where I always hang-out, shop, play games, sightseeing and dine-out. I know I can't afford to stay in one of their rooms for now but I am happy that I had experience and witnessed things in this place. I already am already contented about it. When I win the lottery next time, I would probably check-in in this hotel..wink!! here I am inside Caesars Palace Hotel!Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, an unincorporated township in Clark County, Nevada, United States in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Caesars Palace is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment. Caesars is located on the west side of the Strip, between the Bellagio and the Mirage.

Watching Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus in Las Vegas

These are only some of the entertainments I had witnessed in Las Vegas. Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus is considered to be one of the famous circuses in the industry in the United States and the whole world as well. It was my first time to see those breath-taking stunts and shows performed by their acrobats and other members of the show. It was truly amazing. Below are some of the pictures I took during the show.

Another highlight I want to share is about wrinkle creme. Can you imagine always staying too late in the night in Las Vegas to enjoy and have fun? I already experience it there almost every night. Imagine sleeping only for some hours in the night because you always have a night life. I noticed dark circles forming around my eyes during those time. I am thankful that I can buy cream for wrinkles in all supermarkets in Vegas.

breath-taking performance of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus acrobats and performers! truly amazing! I believed I am lucky to watch them.

Shopping at Victoria Secret in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas

It's shopping time! We went shopping today because winter sale is here now. I also went shopping in Las Vegas last 2008. One of the shops where I always go shopping is Victoria Secret in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. My shopping escapades in Las Vegas was the most expensive one that I had ever experience in my life. I also bought there the most expensive bag I ever had. I am not really into branded stuffs but sometimes when extra finances are available, I am thinking of giving myself some presents. I forgot to buy there some joint health supplements. Dear HB told me to buy some before I go back to Europe. Sorry Schatz, it was totally out of my mind. The clothing above are some of the things I shopped in Vegas. I wish to be back there next time. Wanna go with me? Just kidding! happy weekend folks!

Sis in Vegas is Sick

I heard from other sister in the US that my sister in Las Vegas is sick. It made me worry after hearing about it. She made a "call and sick" to her employer due to her diarrhea and vomiting. I hope and pray that she is feeling better right now. I wish to chat with her or call her tomorrow is she is back to normal health. I guess it is also time for her to read more about colon cleanse reviews. She is a Nurse and I know that she can manage it with God's help. I miss you all dear sisters from the US. I hope to see you soon. Take care out there!
