The Drive Home

We ran into a traffic jam on the way home from our camping vacation… not fun… especially not fun when you have an infant in the car.

Monaco Goes Green Home & Away

Monaco has launched a radical transport plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the first acts Prince Albert took when succeeding to the throne upon his father’s death in April 2005 was to sign the Kyoto Protocol.

Along with the USA and Australia, Monaco was one of the few countries not to sign up to the treaty intended to cut greenhouses gasses.

Included in Prince Albert’s campaign was an expedition to the Arctic to see for himself how global warming has begun to melt the glaciers, and shortly after his return he started a foundation to study rising sea levels and how to address what he sees as environmental challenges.

A Monaco travel guide notes that given the Principality’s position in the Mediterranean, concern at rising sea levels should come as no surprise.

‘There are plans at an advanced stage to build an island off Monte Carlo, which will change the map of Monaco, and the district of Fontvieille is largely reclaimed from the sea.’

The island is expected to be complete in ten years time, and will include the first new hotels in Monaco for some time.

Recently Prince Albert spent time with Britain’s fellow royal and campaigner for the environment Prince Charles.

‘Most notable of all’, comment YourMonaco, ‘Prince Albert chose a mansion in the Kalorama district of Washington D.C. to serve as Monaco’s U.S. Embassy – Monaco’s first independent embassy outside of Europe. Up to now it hasn’t been necessary for Monaco to have her own representation in the U.S. – France has always looked after Monaco’s interests. But it serves as a useful base for him to entertain politicans on Capitol Hill and get his environment message across. Expect to see more of Prince Albert in America in the coming months and years!’.

Transport System

With Prince Albert punching above Monaco’s weight abroad, he has been no less active at home to prove his green credentials, and a radical plan has been introduced to cut carbon emissions, and to reduce the number of cars on the streets of Monte Carlo.

The domestic campaign began with the Monaco Yacht Show 2005, held each September, with the event successfully becoming carbon neutral. To encourage the thousands who commute to Monaco every day from neighbouring France and Italy the railway station is one of the best in Europe, with frequent services.

‘For those who work in Monte Carlo and travel in from Nice and her surrounding villages five days a week, it’s both cheaper and quicker to take the train – the trains are modern and comfortable and it’s rare for seats not to be available even during the rush hour’, claim the guide. ‘Once in Monaco the local transport service is equally quick and efficient. Virtually all routes are well planned and easy to understand, and the most you have to wait for a bus is ten minutes, often it’s just a couple of minutes.’

The routes are planned to incorporate tourist needs, with most passing by the Hotel de Paris in Casino Square and the Columbus in Fontvieille, two of the best known and popular hotels in Monaco. Fares have been reduced to one Euro, making public transport in Monaco among the lowest priced, comfortable and frequent in Europe.

With the overall aim to increase bus usage by 20 per cent, the Principality is also funding five new trains with a thirty per cent increase in train services, and in an innovative attempt to persuade commuters to leave their cars at home will provide free electric cycles at car park schemes.

‘The one time of year you might see fast cars being encouraged is of course in May for the Monaco Grand Prix’, conclude the guide, ‘But overall it’s Prince Albert who will be able to claim the winners rostrum among European leaders for the environment’.

What happens in Las Vegas, sometimes makes it home!

Arriving at the Luxor, I am happy to encounter thousands it seems playing a myriad of games and enjoying a few adult beverages. After checking in, we hit the strip heading out to the MGM casino for a stop at the Rain Forest Cafe for a quick dinner and some drinks. Quickly, we were becoming enveloped in the the craziness of Vegas and begin to gamble a little here and there spending twenty dollar bills like there is no tomorrow.

Lights along the strip continue to percolate my heart and keep the night going full blast . A quick stop by the Bellagio for the watered light show is worthwhile as a romantic spot to say I Love You during the show. Next stop, amongst the throngs was Treasure Island battle and it was well worth the wait. Back down the strip we find hustlers of all sorts, attempting to hand out every leaflet imaginable. Late into the night we are still going strong.

The first morning: after a short walk over to the Mandalay Bay casino, we find the pool and with a quick twenty dollar tip we slip into the cool waters beneath the hundred degree heat at ten in the morning. Catching a few rays with the other sun worshipers seems to be the thing to do, although spending 10 bucks for a bottle was a little over the top. The experience was great which included just hanging onto the one that I love while floating around the river.

A quick trip down to the Hoover Damn aboard a chartered bus and we see all of man’s ingenuity and we marvel at the amount of people like us who just want to look over the damn and admire how bad it would hurt to die if you jumped off this crazy edifice to man’s intelligence. Heading back into town, we stop by the Fremont Street Experience and gamble a little more on our way back to the strip. Riding the roller coasters at the stop of the Stratosphere provide some real thrills.

Another stop to ride the roller coaster in New York New York proves to be yet another adrenaline rush.

On to the night, we attend Zumanity performance at New York New York. This version of Cirque du Soliel was very well done with all things erotic and no shame for sexuality. It was non-stop with exotic beauties and scantily clad trapeze girls who disrobe while spinning circles over and around us. The hostess was wild and mesmerizing with her eclectic makeup. Fishbowl girls found ways to swim that I never knew was possible. What a way to spend an evening!

A later night stopover at a buffet hit the spot to help us last late into the night.

Somehow we board the flight home with nearly the same amount of money that we started with, so sometimes What happens in Las Vegas, makes it home.
