			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know its only been two weeks but its seems like a lifetime. Since my last post about my little girlie I have been away to LA and Cuba. I&#8217;ll start with the first as it chronologically makes sense. I took my mum with me to Hollywood, we had a fantastic time. Saw a few celebrity homes and the Hollywood sign. We walked along Hollywood Blvd, went shopping down Rodeo Drive and in Pasadena, we also rocked our socks off in Universal Studios. Oh yeah, how could I forget Johnny Rockets and ice cream at the Disney Store. Yum Yum!</p>
<p>More recently, so much so it was only yesterday. I got back from Havana with my brother, we spent three nights there, the weather wasn&#8217;t great but it was warm, much nicer than your bog standard british December day. We drank Mojitos by day and ate pizza by night (the latter being not so traditional of the region &#8211; well, what can you do?) We had a little trip to the beach on one of the days (photos coming soon &#8211; as with the ones from LA.) I love all the old cars, it is very in-keeping with the buildings.</p>
<p>I am off to Miami on Sunday and I have Alice&#8217;s fashion show on Tuesday when I return so I will be back to write about those, however I will try to be back in the meantime.</p>
<p>Mike</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I am in LA, not for much longer though as I will be flying home tonight (its now 18.40 LA time). It was a pretty chilled out flight on the way out, lets hope its the same on the way home.</p>
<p>Anyway, the reason I am making this post. We went to Halloween Horror Night at Universal Studios California last night and it was amazing. Four of us wandered round the park screaming all night long. If anyone ever gets the chance to go to one of these events I thoroughly recommend it.</p>
<p>Well, I have to keep this post short and sweet as I have to get ready now.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be in touch again soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys, I am looking for volunteers who would like to start a brand new exciting project with me. I am creating an international music database.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys, i just wanted to check in with you all before I head to Gatwick tonight. I am off to Antigua tomorrow as many of you will already know. I&#8217;m staying overnight in a hotel near the airport as the check in time tomorrow is far too early for my liking so this way I get an extra few hours in bed, also work is paying for it so its a win-win really.</p>
<p>Sucks a little though that i had one less night with my beau, especially as we now embark on our first 15 whole days without seeing one another! Eek! Over two whole weeks, I don&#8217;t know how I am going to survive. If I don&#8217;t write back here soon then you know I haven&#8217;t.</p>
<p>I will write back later when I get to the hotel if I have access to the internet there. I very much doubt I will get a chance to access the internet in Antigua.</p>
<p>Thats all for now peeps, speak to you all soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys, I am home now. Got back from LA yesterday, was a very long and tiring flight, and the drive home was a bitch to say the least. I&#8217;m off now til Friday when I am jetting off to Barbados and Antigua, I haven&#8217;t been to Antigua before so I am looking forward to it. Hopefully the flight isn&#8217;t too busy.</p>
<p>As for the next few days, I am off out tonight with a friend, it will be nice to catch up with them as I haven&#8217;t seen them in ages. I can&#8217;t wait until tomorrow though, it feels like ages since I&#8217;ve seen my girlfriend. I look forward to the day that I get to spend every day and night together. Not the odd day here and there.</p>
<p>See ya later folks</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking&#8230; I&#8217;m up early?? No. I am still in LA, its just gone 10 o&#8217;clock in the evening and I am shattered. We&#8217;ve had a busy day at Six Flags: Magic Mountain, we didn&#8217;t quite make it to <em>Fright Fest</em> but it was a fantastic day nonetheless. Four of us went in total, we took one of the vans Virgin provide us with at the hotel, its only a 40 minute drive away. The photos as usual will be on here soon.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll tell you now, the superman ride knocked it out of us, especially after we polished off a lot of pizza just before we went on!</p>
<p>Batman The Ride, Superman The Escape, Colossus, Gold Rusher, Tatsu and Viper are the rides that kept us entertained all day long. And although we only touched the surface compared to the amount of rides they have there it was well worth every penny.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been out shopping too, can you believe, I&#8217;ve crammed so much into today! I just love walking around Pasadena, its so mild out at night, just jeans and a t-shirt even in October, its great.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m now chillin&#8217; in my room, on iTunes sorting out my library, its such a mess.</p>
<p>Check out is tomorrow afternoon/ evening (12th) so we get the best part of the day here before we leave, its great. I certainly can&#8217;t complain about this job, I just can&#8217;t get over the fact that we get paid to do this. Sorry to use an American expression but its <em>awesome.</em></p>
