Historic St. Augustine
Historic St. Augustine, Florida has been one of my all-time favorite vacation destinations. There is so much to do, you can’t possibly do it all in one trip. Between the beach, old town, and other historical sites you’ll find plenty of fun for everyone.

I am a beach gal for sure. Anytime I get to go to…

New Orleans, Louisiana (aka NOLA, aka “The Big Easy”) is a city I love a lot more than I ever thought I would. However, I shouldn’t have been surprised. Uniqueness and mystery cover the city like a cloak, waiting for visitors to discover the surprises within. My First Trip The first time I went to New Orleans, it was just a stopover for a cruise that was leaving from the Julia Street Cruise Terminal. I didn’t really get to see much of the city itself. I was there for the evening before the cruise was to leave port. Not only was I there for a short time, I was extremely…
