Steve and I finally visited the South Pacific earlier this year, spending a week in French Polynesia. Despite the long flight in coach, we thoroughly enjoyed the vacation and it is definitely one of the most scenic and stunning spots in the world. The beauty of Bora Bora didn’t even seem real – it was… Continue reading Dream Hotels – South Pacific Edition
We also planned two dinners outside the Wynn Hotel. Our first night we ate at Cut Steakhouse, which is a Wolfgang Puck restaurant located in The Venetian Hotel. Cut was definitely our priciest meal of the whole trip and you should expect to spend at least $50 to $60 on a single steak (plus sides,… Continue reading Las Vegas Restaurants – Cut Steakhouse and Hakkasan
We didn’t eat all of our meals at the Wynn or Encore but we did eat there several times and I have to say that we did not have a single disappointing meal there the entire time. The hotel really has the restaurant thing down. So many Vegas hotels sacrifice restaurants (and service) for the… Continue reading Eating at the Wynn Hotel – La Cave, The Country Club and Sinatra
My wanderlust started a long time ago and more recently has reached near obsession level – I don’t plan to slow down anytime soon. My father worked for Mary Kay Cosmetics for about 25 years. Yes, that Mary Kay with the big hair and the pink cadillac but no, my dad never drove a pink… Continue reading Why I Have the Travel Bug
We are back from a wonderful 4 night stay in Las Vegas. Yes, it was hot but we did exactly what we had planned to do – hung out by the pool, ate a little too much good food, drank a few too many cocktails, walked the Strip, went to the spa and generally relaxed.… Continue reading Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas
My parent’s 50th wedding anniversary was last week so my sister and I decided to take them to dinner (along with our own spouses) for a nice steak dinner at Al Biernat’s Steakhouse in Dallas last weekend. If you’re ever in Dallas, I highly recommend Al Biernat’s – it’s actually one of my favorite steakhouses… Continue reading Happy 50th to my Mom and Dad
I’ve been slightly obsessed with Instagram lately for God knows what reason. Just checking out the random feed each evening can easily consume over an hour for me. Mostly, I tend to click on travel related photos when I think, ” Where is that and how do I get there?” I’ve noticed that I seem… Continue reading Instagram Hate
Steve and I are planning a long weekend stay in Vegas at the end of the month. We are not big gamblers nor have we ever been into the nightclub scene so the first time we went to Las Vegas 10+ years ago, we were not impressed. Over the years, we have been to Vegas… Continue reading Vegas Plans
Living in Dallas, Texas, we are right in the middle of the country, albeit the southern middle part. So, flights to California are plentiful, usually very reasonably priced and not very long (about 3 hours max). I’ve visited San Diego, Orange County/Laguna Niguel, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley. Still on my”to… Continue reading Dream Hotels – California Edition
Sometimes I randomly check airfare and hotels in certain destinations just to see what the prices are like and occasionally I find a great deal. I often find better deals during the summer to places that are hot – like Phoenix, Austin, Las Vegas or Palm Springs. Steve and I really weren’t planning to go… Continue reading Last Minute Trips and Vacation Deals
