March 14, 2019 se réveiller à Paris Our second full day of being able to explore the city. We tried to cover as much as we could with the little time we had. The weather definitely interfered with the number of places we could have enjoyed. The first thing we headed out to do was [...]

Paris I
March 13, 2019 Bonjour belle ville With hopes to one day be back, 2019 was the year it finally happened. On March 11th we departed from LAX to CDG. Paris was the start of this wonderful 16 day Euro trip. Sadly, in each city, we didn't spend as much time as I hoped. In Paris, we [...]
New York City
After 7 years, I finally had the chance to go back to New York City. I booked our plane tickets for only four days due to different work schedules; October 1-4. I already knew that, technically, three days was not going to be enough to get to see everything since Manhattan island is enormous. But, [...]
Catalina Island
August 01, 2018 Wednesday Missing our 9 a.m. departure was a huge set back, but at the end it all worked out. Since the next boat out to Catalina Island wasn't until 12:30 p.m., I headed out to a coffee shop a couple of blocks from the docks called Day Dream Surf Shop. Not only [...]
Cabo San Lucas
For the first trip of the summer, we headed out to Baja California for a mini family vacation to Cabo San Lucas. We had bought tickets a couple of months before we departed from San Diego International Airport on July 10th. Although Cabos is technically on the ocean, it is a Mexican desert climate, [...]
Salvation Mountain
June 14, 2018 ThursdayTemperatures out in Slab City can get pretty hot. Right after coffee, in Downtown Palm Springs, we headed out to Salvation Mountain. We tried to get there before the day got any hotter, but we still managed to get there right when the sun was at it's highest. Salvation Mountain was created [...]
Palm Springs
June 14, 2018 Thursday Everyone knows exactly how hot the weather in Palm Springs can get. So for today's outing with my friend Liz, we decided to head out as early as we could to explore before the day got any hotter. We didn't end up leaving the house as early as we hoped to but [...]
Upper Antelope Canyon
May 31, 2018 Thursday After a total of 8 hours on the road, we arrived in Page, Arizona. It's a small city with the Grand Canyon right at your doorstep. I booked the tour about a three weeks before the actual day. Tours are sold out months in advance so you have to constantly [...]
It’s a sign!
May 30, 2018 Wednesday The drive out to Page, Arizona is a long one, especially if you don't make any pit stops along the way. To not make the trip seem too long, we decided to stop and rest in Las Vegas Tuesday night. Before hitting the road Wednesday morning, we stopped at The [...]
The Flower Fields
April 25, 2018 WednesdayWhat a better way to welcome spring than to be surrounded by thousands of blooming flowers. It has been a couple of years since I've been wanting to visit The Flower Fields. It is 50 acres in Carlsbad, filled with different colored giant tecolote ranunculus flowers. They only bloom 6-8 weeks, from [...]
