Lovely Day

Thursday was very nice, with no rain at all.  I began my morning with a watermelon juice at Karma Sutra.  While there, I glanced at their ice cream menu and was very, very tempted to order something, although it was barely 10:00 a.m.  There was a combination called Dream of the Boss with caramel, fleur … Continue reading »

The Start of the Weekend

Friday morning saw me crawling out of bed around 9:30 a.m. again.  I decided to walk to the Fauborg-Marigny, a.k.a. simply “The Marigny.”  It was probably a 20 minute walk, give or take, from my apartment.  Aside from restaurants and coffee shops, not much was open yet.  Breakfast at Rose Nicaud Café seemed like a good … Continue reading »

First Full Day in New Orleans

Contrary to my usual habit of waking up early wherever I am in the world, I crawled out of bed sometime between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on Thursday.  My breakfast consisted of left over bread pudding.  Scrumptious! Since there was nothing in particular on the agenda, I headed to Jackson Square and into St. … Continue reading »

Catching Up

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July.  Mine was less than spectacular.  I had begun coming down with strep throat, so spent the majority of the day in bed.  It made me miss those sick days when there was a boyfriend/husband to spoil me with kisses, hugs, wonton soup and lots of cuddling.  I … Continue reading »

Weekend in L.A.

Wasn’t that the title of an old George Benson album?  If so, it’s very appropriate for this post. Saturday morning I fled the fog of San Francisco for the sunnier climes of SoCal.  This was my first time using AirBnB for lodging.  The apartment I’d chosen was in West Hollywood, about 5 blocks from my … Continue reading »

Eat the Street

On Friday morning, my first order of business was to mail MY package to myself.  I mailed out the coconut butter, poke seasoning, granola and tea, along with the clothes I’d already worn.  I was bringing my NEW clothes back in my suitcase WITH me!  The Post Office opened at 9:00 a.m. and I walked … Continue reading »

Winding Down

With Thursday came the realization that my vacation was nearly over.  That’s about the time that I begin to get sad, but my friend was by in the morning (after my sunbathing, of course) to cheer me up.  Since I’d promised to send those “snacks” to my boss’ boss’ boss, he took me to the … Continue reading »

He Got Game

Wednesday morning was another early one – more shopping at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet.  VIP Shuttle was picking me up at 8:00 a.m.  All of the shuttle drivers that I’ve ever had from VIP are super sweet.  Most of the shuttle drivers from the other companies are that way, too, but the ones from … Continue reading »

Onward to the Palace

My friend had to cancel breakfast on Tuesday morning ’cause he was sick.  Thus, I lounged by the pool a tad longer than usual. Still feeling cultural, I headed off to Iolani Palace.  The last time I was in the Palace was probably 1994.  They no longer offer guided tours, only audio ones.  Entrance was … Continue reading »
