Marching in a Mardi Gras Krewe
Moving to New Orleans in 2013 got me closer to being in a Mardi Gras Krewe. As someone who fell in love with the city as a kid, it was always a dream to be in one. So in 2015, I joined a krewe to ride in a parade. But in 2016, Chuck and I…

December in Vegas…. Part 2
Chuck’s arrival to Vegas on the Friday prior to Christmas weekend started our long weekend. After he got settled in the room, we changed, walked around a bit and grabbed a quick drink. Although he was exhausted, he knew he wanted to do the dinner we had planned and get a good night’s sleep. We…

December in Vegas, Part 1
We needed a trip to Las Vegas to keep up with our Tier Credits at MGM. Plus, one of our favorite times to be out there was in December of 2019. We loved all the holiday decorations at the casinos and wanted to see what they had this past Christmas. We booked a room at…

A Little Wine and a Lot of Friend Time
My really good friend, Amy, moved to San Francisco a little over a year after I moved to New Orleans. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to visit her. Until now. She called me over the summer and invited me to her rental home in Napa for the weekend, and Chuck and I immediately said…

Work and Play in Kauai
When Chuck’s work needed him to go to Kauai for a project, you better believe I was tagging along. Because of some projects I was on at my job, I couldn’t take the week off but getting up early for work is easier to swallow with the Kapalaki Beach views we had from the room.…

Las Vegas, Again
For some reason, Las Vegas has become our happy place to travel to. We always find something fun to do, great food to eat and interesting places to hit for craft beer, cocktails or wine. We also manage to relax quite a bit since we aren’t into the club scene and aren’t big gamblers. We…

Georgia Mountain Air is Good for the Soul
In my 6 years of living in Atlanta, I never spent any time in the North Georgia mountains. My minimal pay meant I had to be strategic about where I spent my “vacation money” and if I’m being honest, that money would go towards a beach vacation every time. Fast forward many years later than…

A Little Southern California Beach Time
My husband is doing more traveling this year and that means opportunity for me to tag along on some of his trips. In March, he spent a week in Los Angeles and Redondo Beach. So there was no way I was passing up flying out there for the weekend. It’s easy to get to LA…

Travel is key to happiness
I’ve always wanted to be a travel writer. It’s not a dream that I’ve been able to accomplish fully. However, a couple of years ago, I was able to join a blog that allowed me to write about some of my great travels. While blogging for the Pedacitos Blog has been awesome, the change in…

Changing habits, one minute at a time
Changing habits in life is not always easy. From working out consistently to eating healthier and everything in between, I know I’ve made efforts over the years, often repeating some of the same ideas when one doesn’t work. Let’s be frank, though, many of those habits I try to form just don’t click. I refuse…
