Well it’s official! As of next Saturday, I will be leaving Miami for good. After seven years in South Florida I have decided to move to Washington D.C. While in college I had the opportunity to live in the District, where my brother and grandparents also reside, and I really loved it. As my time [...]

Well I am officially back in the United States of America and, as usual, I have mixed feelings. While I am a very proud American (and Southerner), I always leave a bit more of my heart in London each time I leave. Nonetheless, I digress and happily get the chance to show you a bit [...]

As you know, I arrived in London on Saturday morning and to say I’ve had a blast would be the understatement of the century! Here’s a run down of the activities thus far: I arrived on Saturday morning and promptly hit the Tube, aka the Underground, after only about a half hour at immigration. Not [...]

Ok, I don’t really talk like that when I’m in England, but I thought it was fitting as today I leave for London! That’s right kids, my summer vacation will officially commence at 5 p.m. today (and last through August 8 ) when I board a flight east. Since living in London in 2006, I [...]

Today I set sail on the inaugural cruise of Norwegian Cruise Line‘s newest ship, the Norwegian Epic. The two-day cruise to nowhere (i.e. out into the water overnight then back) will include a serious amount of fun activities such as a dinner and acrobat show from Cirque Productions, a performance by the Blue Man Group, [...]

That’s right kids! Tomorrow is the official grand opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. The project has been nearly five years in the making, including a reported $200 million in construction during the past two years, and is quite simply the best recreation you can imagine. Last month I had [...]

Memorial Day weekend was all about travel (and food) for me. On Friday I returned home to New Orleans to spend a girls weekend shopping, eating, drinking, and eating some more. (Don’t judge! Seafood is a precious commodity these days.) I returned home in the wee hours Monday morning and later that day booked my [...]

Today I head home for a girls weekend in New Orleans with my step-mom. I see lots of hurricanes at Pat O’Brien’s, biegnets at Cafe Du Monde, poboys at R&O’s, and lots of laughs in my future. Books making the trip with me: My So-Called Freelance Life by Michelle Goodman and 31 Bond Street by [...]

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando while staying at the Disney Port Orleans French Quarter hotel. (Hilarious right?) One night I regressed to childhood at the Magic Kingdom—think candy, characters, and Tomorrowland. The next was filled with exhilaration riding roller coasters at the Islands of Adventure [...]
