Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona has been a lot more fun since the Standin’ on the Corner Park came to town - and it’s a great photo op. Yes, this park is in honor of the Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey song Take it Easy made famous by the Eagles.

We Have a Wednesday Winner!
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Congrats go out to Ashley Henley whose name was drawn in our random giveaway of Primal Elements Soaps to Go (and who always travels with her small refillable bottles of shampoo and conditioner).
I’m with all the folks who make sure they pack Q-Tips, baby wipes (though I’m way past the baby stage), and hand [...]
The Golf Courses and Spa at La Quinta Resort & Club, Palm Springs
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008La Quinta Resort & Club, in the Palm Springs area of California, is one of the most beautiful luxury-class resorts I’ve been to. No building here is more than two stories tall, so that A) there are acres upon acres of perfectly landscaped gardens, replete with fruit trees and brightly colored flowers and B) [...]
Family Fun at a Great Palm Springs Golf Resort
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008Do you readers know any golf fans? Or maybe even are one, yourself? I’m not - but I sure know some devoted players who plan entire vacations around golf. These guys (yes, they’re mostly men) book their families into golf club resorts for weeks at a time, without researching whether there are other [...]

Without further ado, we suggest you [...]
Rex and Galatoire’s
Sunday, January 27th, 2008Yesterday morning began with a limousine ride to the Rex Den. A den is the place where Krewes build and house their floats. The Rex Den is located in the 9th ward and many of the floats were damaged in Katrina. However, Rex would not let a hurricane bring them down, and they rebuilt their [...]
Brennan’s and the Krewe of Cork
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Breakfast at Brennan’s is always a treat for me. I always order the Three Course Prix Fixe which starts at $36US. It is customary to start with an “eye-opener” while perusing the menu. My favorite choices are a Brandy Milk Punch, a Mimosa, or a Mr. Funk of New Orleans. There are many other eye-openers [...]
Roadtrip to NOLA
Friday, January 25th, 2008Yesterday after work I hopped in RedBugg (my VW) and took a road trip to New Orleans with my man, Kimo. Kimo and I have been on many road trips together, and what I like about him is:
A) He lets me drive him around.
B) He doesn’t mind me singing at the top of my lungs.
C) [...]
Mardi Gras in the U.S.
Friday, January 25th, 2008I’ve been invited to spend a long weekend at Harrah’s New Orleans, a new hotel/resort on the scene. I’m going to eat, drink, and be merry during a time of parades and partying. The first Mardi Gras celebration may have occurred in Mobile, AL, but New Orleans made it big. Other places around the Southeast [...]
