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 »

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 »

It’s Been About a Month Now…

but I’m trying hard to remember what happened that Friday in Bohphut Beach.  As I recall, I chilled at the apartment for quite awhile that morning.  The microwave was set up higher than my height, so I had to stand on a chair to warm up my mini croissant thing-a-ma-jigs!  My plan was to hang … Continue reading »

My Sorry Excuse

As you may have noticed, my blogging dropped off soon after my vacation started.  Things were going alright to begin with in Koh Samui.  When I got to Bangkok for the one night, I had every intention of blogging.  My laptop was out & opened up when a visitor dropped by the apartment.  Well, said visitor hung … Continue reading »

Simon Says

As Thailand inches closer, I wanted to do a little research on the effects of martial law in Bangkok, in particular.  What I found was an article that listed 8 things that could get one arrested under the current martial law in Thailand.  These are the things that you CANNOT do. Wear a T-shirt (or … Continue reading »

Eight Days Until Hawaii

A week from tomorrow, I’ll be on my way to Paradise again.  My Australian friend, B. (we met on my last trip there), booked her flight for the exact same days as mine.  Obviously, we’re gonna’ be hanging out.  My cousin and her husband said that we’ll most likely hit up the Mai Tai Bar … Continue reading »

Coffee, Tea or Me?

A single woman traveling alone faces many obstacles that male travelers, couples, families or groups of friends do not.  What reminded me of this was another blog where a woman discussed her experiences with Couchsurfing.  Couchsurfing is a website where you can offer up your place for someone to stay for a few days for … Continue reading »
