Wanna Be Wednesday!

This week, we wanna be here: Macau, China.  We love Las Vegas so it is no surprise we’d like to visit Macau.  We’d combine it with a week exploring Hong Kong, ending our trip with a couple of days in Macau.

This week, we wanna be here: Cruising the Amazon aboard the M/V Aria.  This is on our bucket list and we’d love to do it in style.  This river cruise sails by remote villages and allows you to spend time with native tribes.  Exotic and educational!

This week, we wanna be here: Sipping a drink at the courtyard at Pat O’Brien’s in one of our favorite cities, New Orleans.  There’s nothing like the French Quarter and nothing like the original Pat O’Brien’s.  Cheers!

Wanna Be Wednesday!

This week, we wanna be here: Pike Place Market, Seattle, Washington.  We love a good market and this is one of the best in the world.  We’d get strong coffee, browse for fresh fish, flowers and other goodies then grab a lunch of fresh oysters.  When can we get on a plane?!

This week we wanna be here: Top of the Baths, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands.  After a swim and a hike through the eerie stone formations that make up The Baths, we’d end up here.  Throw in lunch at Mad Dog, a tropical drink  and a little shopping and you have a perfect day inContinue Reading
