There are signs, both literally and figuratively all around us (or so I am told). For the most part, I try to interpret the signs (usually overthink them) hoping that I choose well (doesn’t always work though). We all need something to help us in our decision process. For […]
I hadn’t intended to spend my morning in the cemetery but here I was in Lafayette #1 learning about burial processes, payment upkeep and the politics involved in New Orleans. Signing up for the New Orleans’ Garden District two hour walking tour, I envisioned the grand, romantic homes of the […]
Dining solo in New Orleans was actually a concern of mine. While I have easily dined solo around the world, I was unsure how the madness of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter would affect my comfort level – would everyone be couples or groups having fun to the point […]
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 […]

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 […]
My award ticket to Australia was definitely not for the faint of heart – it consisted of four flights, three airlines, thirty hours flying time and two hotels. I left on Tuesday night and arrived in Melbourne on Saturday (you miss a day over the international date line). The upside […]
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 […]
