A Strange and Wonderful Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras 2025 was a strange one. As usual, our final two weekends started with our participation in the Krewe of Cork parade. This year, we were able to participate in the Grand Marshal dinner on Wednesday night and the Meet and Greet party on Thursday before the day-long festivities on Friday. To say it…

Manifesting 2025 Travel
It’s a first. For the first time in a very long time, I don’t have any solid travel plans for the year. Sure, we have some possibilities hanging out there, but we don’t have anything booked solid. So here’s where I’m going to do something different. I’m going to make a list of things I…

2025, Starting Out Strange
It’s the start of a New Year, and here in New Orleans, this is the saddest and weirdest way to kick off a new year. As many of you know, a terrorist (that’s what I’ll refer to him as) drove down Bourbon Street early New Year’s Day, injuring scores of people and killing at least…

A Hilton Head Island 50th
I recently turned 50, and for my birthday, my husband treated me to a few nights in Hilton Head. I had been once before, but it was for a wedding and quite a few years ago. So I was looking forward to checking out the island as much as I could. We arrived on a…

Oh, When the Saints Come Marching In
The start of the NFL season is always a good time here in New Orleans. But this year has been a little different. With the Super Bowl coming to the city at the end of the season, there is an excited buzz around town and always small, very very very small, glimmer of hope that…

All Inclusive Resorts: Worth It?
Have you seen an increase in posts from the “content creator” and “influencer” community across social media? I’ve been intrigued by the posts across those who do this on the travel side. While I consider myself a Light Content Creator, at best, I most definitely make zero dollars off of it. I do it for…

Wine Time in Willamette Valley
I’ve always wanted to go wine tasting in Willamette Valley, Oregon, but thought it would be with Chuck. Oregon Pinot Noir is his favorite wine. But when my friend, Stacey, wanted to do a girls’ trip for her 50th birthday there, I couldn’t say no. Having never researched the place, other than just to see…

Just Winging It in Sint Maarten
I’ve long wanted to do a simple All-Inclusive Caribbean vacation with Chuck, and we finally made it happen in July 2024. We booked the all adult Sonesta resort at Maho Beach in Sint Maarten, which includes the offerings of the family resort on top of the adult-only pools, bars, and restaurants. I had no idea…
