It’s All Maya!

Driving over the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco.
I’ve fallen behind on my travel updates, but I did want to post some final photos of San Francisco because when you have eleven people (especially from the same family) traveling together and at the end of the the trip, you have eleven people still talking to […]

Of course we couldn’t go to San Francisco and not head up to Sonoma and Napa Valley!  The weather wasn’t cooperating, but the  countryside is so beautiful there.  In any case, we had our minds set on drinking wine!  Years ago when I was living in Marin County, a friend and I use to head […]

6 of us went to New York City.
8 of us flew to Texas.
10 of us traveled to Phoenix.
6 of us continued on to Las Vegas.

I’ve always heard that New York City during the Holiday Season takes on an entirely different atmosphere as New Yorkers get caught up in the holiday spirit.  People slow down and the snow not only covers the streets with a blanket of white and everything seems more hush-hush, but there’s also a blanket of goodwill […]

Okay, so another person came up with the name, “Rude-nella”, describing Lunella’s restaurant in Little Italy, but the name is so appropriate when talking about the place, I just had to use it!
We had been walking all day, from the Statue of Liberty to the financial district, over to Ground Zero, Chinatown and finally making […]

Finally!  After the entire month of November spent packing up our belongings, Patrick and I made it to my mother’s house!  We thought it would never end!
I knew I was overdoing it when I averaged 4 to 5 hours of sleep each day! Yes, day!  We were working around the clock.  I would go to […]
