Shellfish Allergy? Who Cares!
Shellfish Allergy? Who Cares!
“You do not travel if you are afraid of the unknown, you travel for the unknown, that reveals you with yourself.” -Ella Maillart
On our most recent trip to Florida, we decided to take a day on the East Coast and explore for a little while. As we started to get hungry and start searching for food, we came across our typical seaside conundrum…what to eat where Hubs could get fresh seafood…

Place d’Armes
“Exploration is really the essence of the human spirit” -Frank Borman
This quaint little boutique hotel is absolutely my FAVORITE place to stay in New Orleans. Just a block and a half from Bourbon Street, (with a stop in at Boutique du Vampyre on the way of course) or a half block from Jackson Square in the opposite direction, Place d’Armes is in the perfect place if you want to stay in the…

“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” -Robert Louis Stevenson
Graduation is now past and thirteen years of mini-me’s hard work is in the books. As part of her graduation present, a friend of mine and I took her and her best friend to Disney for a week. We absolutely had a blast. With tropical storm winds it wasn’t near as hot as it normally is, and most days the…

Are We In The Right Place?
”We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.” –Anaïs Nin
That was the question the very first time we pulled up to The Shed in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Even after parking the car and getting out, I still wasn’t sure I was in the right place, and if I was, I wasn’t sure I wanted to be! After parking in a gravel lot, you are facing what looks to be a nailed…

“may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone.” -E.E. Cummings
So today’s post isn’t something you will normally see me do. Yes, it is about traveling and a new town, but today’s post is more focused on a hotel, which is unusual for me. As you may know, I am not able to travel much right now for health reasons and getting around is not that easy, so this past…

Interesting Facts: Leonarda Cianciulli
So while I sit here unable to travel (much) I have been reading more. I am not your typical person when it comes to reading. I love my books that come from Boutique du Vampyre in New Orleans, non-fiction murder mysteries, and weird stories about strange things people do around the world. As I am sure you have noticed in some of my earlier blog posts, I love learning a little bit of history about…

Beautiful Views and Relaxing Sounds
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” -Terry Pratchett
The beaches along the Gulf Coast are some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. There is no denying that the beautiful white sand and…

”It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression, ‘As pretty as an airport.” -Douglas Adams
Many people see road trips as long, drawn-out ways to get to the place where you are going. There are quicker ways to get there and to be able to spend more time there. While this is absolutely true, how do you see the amazing little places on the way? Or find the…

I Am Grounded 😭
”Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life, that I will always be haunted by thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere.” -Isabelle Eberhardt
With Guillian Barre you can start feeling better, moving better, and just all around BE better. The problem is, if you start feeling TOO good, you start doing things you shouldn’t do. I am that person. I don’t like having…

”The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” -Marcel Proust
I know that I have written about New Orleans a few times, but there is so much to see and do you not only cannot possibly see and do in one visit, you also cannot possibly tell all about it.
When we visit New Orleans we always try to visit somewhere new. Whether it be a restaurant,…

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. -Martin Buber
I have learned, over the years, to always ask someone local for the best places to go. If you tell them you want local and not touristy, they typically will send you to some of the best places you will ever go. While staying at The Admiral Hotel (https://www.theadmiralhotel.com/) in Mobile during our whirlwind…

A Little Fun In The Sun
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it’s the journey that matters, in the end.” -Ursula K. Le Guin
The beach, with all of my family and friends, is still my favorite place to be. Destin, Florida is where I have been coming since I was a teenager and the first Gulf Coast Beach I have ever been to. I love the beautiful white sand beaches, the emerald water, and the area itself. What I…

CAUTION: This is a long one.
I apologize for not blogging for a few days. I have been working on the blog below and traveling. These blogs are hard because I know very soon I will be an empty nester, with all of my babies off to their own lives, and I will be beyond sad. I love my children more than any of them will understand and enjoy…

Foil Pack Recipe!
I was given the most lovely and thoughtful present this morning by an absolutely beautiful lady. A childhood, long-time friend of my mom’s hand crafted the most wonderful recipe book as a gift for me. Not only did she make this book, she also added two recipes. One is a recipe suggested by my mom in which I was tagged on facebook. The other is a recipe of hers that she loves. I love to cook. If I…

“To travel is to take a journey into yourself.” -Danny Kaye
Yesterday was a very busy day with paperwork, a walk on the Alter G anti-gravity treadmill (along with a few other things) in physical therapy, a stop at Big Spoon Creamery for a Coffee Almond Toffee scoop in a homemade cone and a bowl of Vanilla Cake Batter soft serve with homemade sprinkles for mini-me, then running home to get ready…
