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 […]

I knew it was wrong but I couldn’t stop myself, my body was craving chocolate at 9 a.m., so there I was eating pretzel M&Ms with my breakfast. My body had no clue what time zone it was in and how long we were staying here as for almost two […]
