A New Year: New Travel Goals
With the start of a new year, it’s time to reset. Chuck and I discussed our 2026 travel goals and we decided that this year, we will travel at least once a month. We already have trips planned for January and February, which is a great start. But I’m excited to plan out some new…

Sedona, Arizona — Would Recommend and Will Return
After months of planning a group trip to Sedona with my friends, it finally happened. I traveled there with 5 other girlfriends and spent a few days exploring an area that I have never been to before. Unfortunately, the rain dampened some of our plans but it cleared up enough to enjoy one long hike,…

Say Yes to a Concert at The Sphere
After what seems like forever in planning, we finally made it to a concert at The Sphere.

But finally, 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…

My Tips For a Successful Trip to Vegas
Recently, I talked with some friends who are heading to Vegas soon to give them some suggestions on what to do on their trip. Then, just two days later, another friend asked for suggestions as well. However, my recommendations were completely different. Why? Well, these two couples like completely different things and also have different…
