Never Get Tired of NoLa

My most recent trip to New Orleans was mainly for Satchmo Summerfest and White Linen Night.  My 6:00 a.m. flight that Wednesday morning from San Francisco to Houston was not off to a good start.  I was, as usual, sitting in a window seat half asleep.  My stomach began cramping which led me to the … Continue reading »

Sunny South Beach

The end of May marked my return to South Beach for a week.  My AirBnB rental was near Washington and 8th, not that far from last year’s rental.  On this trip, I made it to the beach every single morning or afternoon and it was so relaxing for me.  My daily routine was generally sunbathing … Continue reading »

One Night in Bangkok

Technically, it was three nights in Bangkok, but the first one didn’t really count, as my flight arrived about 11:45 p.m.  By the time I exchanged currency, made it through Immigration, collected my bag, got a taxi and checked into the hotel, it was definitely after 1:00 a.m. Nearly all of the following day was … Continue reading »

Spring in Paradise

Due to the $100 credit that Virgin America issued me for the flight delay in December, as well as their fare sale, I booked another week in Hawaii at the start of March.  I had another AirBnb place all set up in the vicinity of the place that I’d stayed at and loved in December, … Continue reading »

Love Story

Once upon a time on a small university campus in Kansas, I was there for Senior Weekend – where seniors spend the weekend checking out the campus to decide whether they want to attend that university.  One of the events for the weekend was a dance at the Student Union, which I attended with a … Continue reading »

Another Non-Traditional Thanksgiving

My friend from L.A. and I met up in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving again.  We both stayed at The Venetian.  I arrived on Wednesday morning; she arrived around noon.  Although The Venetian gave me early check-in, they put me in the Venezia Tower for the first time.  The room was perfectly fine, had I not … Continue reading »

Wikiwiki to Waikiki

Not long after my sojourn to Miami, I made a mad dash to Honolulu for a whopping 3 nights.  Why only 3 nights, you may ask?  Mainly because there were only 2 more vacation days unaccounted for through the end of this year.  If I could find a flight that left on Saturday, then could … Continue reading »

Oh, My, My, Miami!

My last three birthdays have been spent out of the country.  This year I wanted to go somewhere warm with a beach, but not that far away.  Miami seemed to fit the bill, so I booked a trip using my Delta air miles. Getting there was a bit arduous.  It involved a midnight flight out … Continue reading »
