Our vacation so far has been very relaxing and the weather has been fabulous! Just what the doctor ordered for Ronn, weather that is in primavera and not too hot or cold. A trip to the Spanish Steps, The Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain was the start of our first day. Walking around Rome was grand and it was funny for the girls to see how many teenagers wanted photos and autographs with their daddy. . Our dear friends Laura and Lavinia Biagiotti hosted us in their apartment near the spanish steps, which was in the center of everything. Our wonderful guide Isabella toured us around the city as we walked all day long. We had the most fabulous homemade pasta, steamed artichokes and of course vino rosso. Our second day has been another private tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, compliments of our friend Loreto. Our neighbors Steve and Sue and their kids were in Rome for a short while during a cruise and joined us on the tour and then we had a fabulous lunch. The girls then opted to walk around some more with Ronn, while I came back to blog and rest up for dinner. We decided to take the girls today to the Villa Borghese and had a private tour of Caravaggio’s amazing work and the President’s Palace before having dinner with Actress Nancy Brilli and her husband Roy. Plans changed and we decided to rest in the castle of Laura Biagiotti tomorrow before heading by train to Florence to see the “David.” There are so many people that we have decided to go to Venice after Easter. We will complete our Roman Holiday with one last day in Roma before heading home next week.

[wpvideo RGPs9LY0]Tonight Ronn and I attend the GQ Louis Vuitton Party in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive. It was a lovely party filled with yummy appetizers, Moet Chandon Champagne and lots of elite people in fashion and entertainment. We attended the party as in invite from my friend fashion designer Julio Rivera who designed the dress I was wearing. Ronn and I learned alot about Louis Vuitton and how the design has evolved over the past decade. They started out with suitcases and now has fashion, eyewear, jewelry and shoes to their brand. The owner also is affiliated with cosmetics, champagne and apparel. Of course he is French and it’s no wonder the champagne they were serving tonight was Moet Chandon. It was a terrific party and Ronn and I had a good time. The DJ played alot of Michael Jackson and was really into his job, so that added to a great ambiance.

EdMcMahonnotexttightcrop_000It was a sad day today as we said farewell to Ed McMahon. He will always be a special memory for me for he was the one who gave me my $100,000 check when I won “Star Search” and I had the honor of appearing on Johnny Carson with him. Ed was a down to earth warm person. It was sad to see the struggles he had just before he died and the horrible injury he endured. He is surely someone fixed in my childhood memories. I wish his family peace and send my love and blessings to his soul. Rest in peace my friend.
