New Orleans is a feast for the senses! That really sums it up. April and I have been in New Orleans for 2 full days and have already seen and done so much and yet sooooo much still remains unseen. There are many things I love about New Orleans. The history and overall "spooky" feeling. The buildings. The gas lamps and flicker lights. The French Quarter. Shop after shop. Restaurant after restaurant. Nightclub after nightclub. The beautiful homes that line St. Charles Ave in the Garden District. The Southern hospitality that greets you (just about) every where you go.

There are so many characters ... read more

Ready for our second 'summer adventure', Linda and I headed for Henderson and Las Vegas for another long weekend of fun. Since it was a holiday weekend we decided to get a jump on things and so came in late Thursday night. We checked into the Boulder Station hotel, since we knew we'd just be sleeping there. The next morning we headed out to Henderson, where we stayed the next three nights at the beautiful Hyatt resort. It was pretty much a party weekend, in which we stayed out late every night, slept in, and then did some moderate sightseeing during the day. Friday night was dancing at Gilley's in the Frontier, Saturday night we went to New York, New York to see the late showing of 'Zumanity' (a very entertaining show) and then hung out ... read more
