I equate Target to an inexpensive retail amusement park with no lines (until checkout) offering just enough attractions for me to while away a lunch hour perusing… Continue reading “Easy target…”

Travel
Even if it’s old junk…
Last weekend I got an itch to go and see. That translates into a need to do something a little different from my routine. I took advantage of the nice weather and headed out to The Flea… Continue reading “Even if it’s old junk…”
I was gambling in Havana…
If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know I love to travel. Whether it’s a day trip, weekend get-away, or week long adventure I am always game to go. Next up – Miami and Havana!
I spent 5 years in the 80’s living in Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and Miami Beach so going back to South Florida to visit my old haunts (and friends) is going to be a blast. As if that weren’t enough I am also going to spend a few days in Cuba – a place I’ve always dreamed of visiting but never thought I’d actually get a chance to see in person.
I know plenty about South Florida and next to nothing about Cuba so I’ve purchased a few tourist guides (Fodor’s Cuba (Travel Guide) and Lonely Planet Cuba (Travel Guide)) and created a Cuba Ricky! inspiration page. I also sent off for a new passport, since the last time I traveled out of the States was to ring in the 21st century at the foot of Edinburgh Castle.
I love the endless possibilities and the planning that go along with travel and over the next few months I will be sharing my plans with you. Have you spent any time exploring Miami or Havana? Do you have any tips you can share that would help me plan my trip or suggestions for places to go, things to do, and – perhaps most important – restaurants I should visit? I’d love to know…
She works hard for the money…
This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending Christy Wright’s Business Boutique, a two-day event held in Nashville. It was awesome! Regardless of whether you are a dreamer, starter, or builder you must attend this event if it comes to your town. Read on to learn why… Continue reading “She works hard for the money…”
Had me a real good time…
We were in Mobile for a quick get-a-way and to join our youngest for a Parents Weekend Celebration. It’s amazing how much stuff you can do in a day or two if you put your mind to it… Continue reading “Had me a real good time…”
Walking to New Orleans…
My husband and I are adapting to an empty nest. To help ease back into being unencumbered adults we spent the past weekend in New Orleans. Check out what we did during our brief get away… Continue reading “Walking to New Orleans…”
May I introduce to you…
I love when I ‘discover’ a part of town that I’ve passed by a million times. I always wonder why I never took the time to stop before, especially when I stumble upon an awesome mom-and-pop restaurant or antique store (remember my Lebanon trip?). This past weekend I stumbled upon Live True Vintage, which just relocated from one side of town I rarely explore (Inglewood) to another (Rayon City)…
Sweet southern women…
For the past twenty years I’ve wanted to go to The Southern Women’s Show but somehow never got around to it. This past weekend I finally got the chance to attend by way of a ticket given as thanks for a gratis editing job I performed. Continue reading “Sweet southern women…”
My bags are packed…
I’ll be doing a lot of travel this summer to help parents and children get resettled. While these trips are primarily for business involving the ones I love, I plan on making time for a few fun side trips too. These places are high on my ‘must see’ list:
How about you? Are you planning any fun travel this summer? Any tourist attractions or restaurants/bars you can recommend in Indy, Dauphin Island, Atlantic City, or Stone Mountain? Let me know…
Alabama getaway, getaway…
Last week I posted outfits that I planned on wearing during a quick trip to Mobile. Have you ever been? It was the first time I did more than drive thru on the way to the Panhandle beaches and I was pleasantly surprised by what I discovered…
