Staying near Bourbon Street, I didn’t know what to expect when I started to walk around. I was pleasantly surprised by the art in New Orleans French Quarter specifically on Royal Street, one of the cities oldest streets. Royal street is home to many art galleries, antique shops and boutiques. […]
Review: The W French Quarter Hotel – New Orleans Boutique Hotel Retreat. New Orleans is a city steeped in historic homes, cemetaries and stories. It is a city exploding with jazz, food and fun and for the most part, much of that happens in the French Quarter. My visit to […]
The more I travel, the more in awe with the beauty of the land and sea I become. When I think I’ve seen the best landscape ever, there is something new to blow my mind. Nature’s filters of sun, rain, clouds, shadows, etc. make each landscape unique and each photo […]
Crossing the pond to London has become a yearly trek as part of my job (great perk, right?). There is, of course, a downside to the trek (cue tiny violins) – my agenda rarely gives me time to explore the city. Over the years, I’ve taken advantage of the free […]
Growing up, my knowledge of horses was limited to the racetrack, more specifically harness racing. My dad used to take me to the Liberty Bell racetrack in Bensalem on Saturday night. We would enter after the 7th race (when entry was free) and if we were lucky someone would give […]

I surprised my niece on Easter with the plane tickets, rather, the printout of the itinerary for our trip to Paris and London. With her initial excitement came the realization that Aunt Sue was going to make her work a bit prior to the trip in the form […]
This week’s FriFotos on Twitter theme is Spring. With the harsh winter on the East Coast, I’ve been dreaming of the Spring season with every inch of snow shoveled (a bit over 60 inches or 5 feet!). Unfortunately, Mother Nature has had other ideas for the East Coast and Spring […]
My Star Alliance award ticket to Australia was concocted in my insane attempt to try as many different airlines as I could along the way. Having heard great reviews of Singapore Airlines over the years – larger seat, great crew, nice lounges – I was convinced that I had to […]
One of the perks of flying international business class (even if award ticket) is access to the airline’s lounge, but not all lounges are created equal. I would visit a few on the Australia award trip (AA PHL lounge, Asiana using KLM Chicago, Singapore SilverKris lounge at Changi, Thai Melbourne, […]
