Posted on July 7, 2012 by KK in 100 things, travel.So, after JazzFest was over, we had a couple of extra days to wander around New Orleans and one day we decided to visit the supremely touristy experience that is Mardi Gras World.

Chapter Two: Jazzfest
Posted on July 2, 2012 by KK in 100 things, food, friends, travel.Jazz Fest, Day One! Do not mind the ominous rain clouds.

Crowds on Day One (Thursday). Notice how you […]

Chapter One: The French Quarter
Posted on June 28, 2012 by KK in 100 things, travel.I present to you a photo essay — New Orleans in 5 parts. Today, the French Quarter. Courtyard. The French Quarter is full of these. Sigh. To the left, dueling piano bar. To the right, other bar. Behind, outdoor bar. We actually left this establishment sans any alcoholic beverages. You’re as surprised as I was. […]

Posted on November 4, 2011 by KK in 100 things, travel.I’m on a ROLL with the accomplishing of things lately. Considering that I am now on a countdown of less than a year (eek!) to finish as much as possible on my list, I need to keep this roll going.

‘Sunny Fields’ California*
Posted on November 1, 2011 by KK in friends, travel.In mid-September, I took Dan on a ‘thank you for keeping me sane over the summer and during RA training’ trip to Palm Springs and Santa Barbara. When we told our friends about it, they were all excited because Palm Springs is lovely, and Santa Barbara is also lovely, albeit in a completely different way. […]

See the Grand Canyon (#3)
Posted on July 5, 2011 by KK in 100 things, friends, travel.A couple of months ago, my friend Dana called me and told me that she had recently learned that she had 10 (!) vacation days that would disappear at the end of June if she did not use them.

See Big Sur (#13)
Posted on April 9, 2011 by KK in 100 things, travel.Yes, we have matching sunglasses. Coming home from Dan’s birthday trip to Cambria/Hearst Castle, we drove through Big Sur on the Pacific Coast Highway. The California coastline is pretty amazing. Magnificent vistas abound. We stopped practically every 5 minutes, exclaiming “Look at the view!” The bridge in the last two pictures is fairly […]
