A Long Weekend In ‘The Big Easy’: PoBoys, Hurricanes & More!

May 2018 I decided to go to New Orleans (affectionately dubbed ‘NOLA’), as I had wanted to do that for the Presidents Day Weekend trip I did Nashville, but the prices were too high then. I had seen many travel shows on New Orleans and each one excited me more than the last. Being the foodies I am, I know New Orleans would surely not disappoint in that area, and I was 100% correct!

I think not! 😉

Peru: The Amazon, Machu Picchu And Everything In Between

In November of 2017, I traveled to the beautiful land of Peru. I had never been to South America before and I was definitely excited to see what it was all about (and of course to find out the answer to the age-old question: does the water REALLY go down the toilet the other way?)

One of the best parts of living on Long Island is the not only the proximity to New York City, but the proximity to many other cities as well. Within 4-5 hours of New York City are Baltimore, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia and any many others.

One of my favorite day escapes from this area is Philadelphia. Here’s how I made the most of our day trip to the ‘City of Brotherly Love.’
