One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
In October my ladies and I headed to New Orleans for a girls weekend trip! It was a college reunion; we all went to Michigan State University. Go Green! Even though we went in October by golly was it still hot! I couldn’t believe it, very humid. We stayed in an Airbnb in the Garden…
My last post about my two weeks in South Africa is about a safari, one of my most favorite experiences ever. We flew into Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport from Johannesburg and then took a bus to our hotel which was just outside of Kruger Gate. Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves…
Continuing on our journey east in South Africa (starting in Capetown), we stopped in Knysna on the Garden Route for some cruisin time and everyone’s favorites elephants. We went on a sunset cruise and were able to see Knysna Heads which are sandstone cliffs that are on either side of the entrance to the Knysna…

The plan for the “big adventure” moment in Cape Town was to go shark cage diving. We were pumped. We were preparing for the cold waters. We were ready for Jaws like moments. We were excited for the Instagram moments! After landing in Cape Town and I turned on my phone in the airport and…

The final stop on our three day road trip was to Sante Fe. Instead of camping we stepped it up a notch and got a hotel. We stayed at the La Posada de Santa Fe. We first stopped in for an awesome meal at The Shed where I got the Taco Plate Christmas style; with…
The second part of our three day road trip was to go to Taos, New Mexico and enjoy a night there! Leaving the Sand Dunes we decided to stop at the Zapata Falls. It was a beautiful waterfall after a short easy hike and we actually also hiked into the falls because the falls are…
