After what can only be described as a rough first day/night, we were finally awake during the day and ready to explore!
“Two Roundtrip Tickets to Spain, Please.” Part 2
Two days after the wedding, we boarded our nonstop transcontinental flight from Miami to Madrid. To say that we were excited would be an understatement. We still had no real idea of what we would do when we got there, but we're smart and knew that we would find a way - it's not like we where traveling to another planet.
“Two Roundtrip Tickets to Spain, Please.” Part 1
Then it suddenly dawned on me - we had tickets to Spain, but hadn't actually book a hotel or planned what we would be doing ...

While they are very well maintained, there are only pockets of lighted spots. Once the sun goes down, you have … Continue reading Just a Few More Hours

“Fast Food or NOTHING” Hour
The majority of the drive from Texas to Florida is done on I-10 and one of my favorite stops along the way in New Orleans! About an hour outside of New Orleans, you'll find the Louisiana state capital, Baton Rouge. This is also home to Louisiana State University (LSU) and where you find college students, … Continue reading “Fast Food or NOTHING” Hour
