What do North Korea and Boracay Have in Common?
Sometimes I like to re-share posts from the blog I kept when I was living in Japan. In this one I’m rambling on about going to Korea with my sister and complaining about my work as an English teacher. I guess there’s nothing that great or interesting here, just that 1) I talk about hosting […]
Have You Heard of the Plitvice Lakes?
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia When I started planning our trip to Croatia, I only knew I wanted to go to Dubrovnik. But I was really surprised at how many other awesome places Croatia is filled with! Dubrovnik was actually our least favorite, and it was fabulous so that says a lot about the other […]
Flying Under the Radar: Zagreb, Croatia

The Most Un-Vegas Thing You Can Do in Vegas

The Number 1 Biggest Secret in the Bahamas
I shouldn’t be telling you this because I kind of don’t want anyone else to know. But my excitement is totally overruling my prudence and insisting that I tell everyone what we found! If you are looking for a secluded beach, with crystal clear swimming-pool waters, that is easy to get to (I’m talking a […]
New Orleans for the Over Thirty Crowd
Brian’s cousin got married in Gulfport, MS a few weekends ago. The closest major airport is Louis Armstrong International in New Orleans so dear hubs and I decided to make a long weekend out of it. This was my fifth time to NOLA and Brian’s second but we’d never gone together. We’ve both done a […]
