May 24, 2011 Memorial Day is this weekend. That means the kids are out of school and a large number of us will be heading somewhere sandy with salt water taffy on sale nearby. I do like the beach but I never seem to bring the right things with me. I have done some homework on your behalf and we have come across some new beach gear you didn't even know you needed, until now.
May 10, 2011 My wife Jill is a traveler, she loves to explore new places, meet new people and see amazing things when she is on vacation. Me, I like to sit at the beach, listen to the ocean and sleep. So needless to say we have to be very particular when planning our recreational travels. Thrillcations have you heard of these? This is where adventure, adreneline, time off and a good insurance policy come together.
May 9, 2011 I have been blessed in my life to see a lot of different things, I have seen the lights of Times Square in New York, I have floated on the canals in Venice. I have seen the sun shining a midnight and I have seen and touched what once was the Berlin Wall. I obviously have not seen it all ! Here are some of the things that I have missed.
May 8, 2011 OK...I'll take a trip to Las Vegas over Disneyland ANY day of the week!
April 28, 2011 It's not that hard to figure out why Lafayette is called Lafayette, but according to our City Parish President, Joey Durel, Lafayette wasn't originally Lafayette. I guess Mr. Durel studied really hard in his Louisiana history classes. But did you ever wonder where towns like Cranky Corner and Uneedus in Tangipahoa Parish and Soso Mississippi got there names?
March 17, 2011 What makes a place memorable? For us in South Louisiana it's the people, the food and the music. Other places aren't so lucky to be us, they have to rely in funny statues or weird sculptures to help make them memorable
March 16, 2011 Seems easy enough, stuff all you need for a short trip in a small bag and be on your way. Well in these days of TSA security and $50 dollar luggage fees knowing before you are going is a pretty big deal
February 28, 2011 Are you headed someplace where they don't speak English? Maybe Europe, Mexico or California? Well there is a trick to getting what you need and what you want with out making the locals mad. There is nothing like a ticked off waiter from another land who mixes your drink behind closed doors if you know what I mean. So if you're not used to traveling abroad and plan to go a little further than Gulf Shores this Summer, you might want to take these tips to heart.
February 6, 2011 At my age when people mention "Bond", it is more likely they are talking about "Gold Bond" and not "James Bond". But still the thought of beautiful women, fast cars and very little chaffing and itching still appeals to me. I bet the life of a secret agent might appeal to you too. There is a way you can cavort around the globe just like 007!
