Under The Radar: Louisiana Is One of the USA’s Off-The-Beaten-Track Destinations

November 12, 2020 by Chloe SunderlandLeave a Comment

America is home to some of the world’s biggest and best tourist destinations: Disney World, the Grand Canyon, Times Square and the Rockefeller Center to name a few. However, there are some places in the US that might just offer something a little bit different. Off the beaten track are some small towns outside New Orleans, which itself is quite a famous place for Mardi Gras, amongst other things. Lafayette, approximately a two-hour drive from … [Read more...]

A Tranquil Respite in the Big Easy

November 16, 2016 by Scott Kendall1 Comment

A topless man wearing lipstick and a bright pink tutu prances by. Jazz is blaring at Legends Park. Drunken tourists stagger to their next girly joint. It’s Friday night on Bourbon Street, and this small town Texas boy needs a break. We all love a good party now and then, and New Orleans certainly knows how to party. But sometimes, we want a break from the frenetic energy and craziness of the nonstop Mardi Gras party atmosphere - but where … [Read more...]

A Grand Venue for Country Tunes

July 30, 2016 by Paul KandarianLeave a Comment

Even if you’re not a fan of the style, there’s something about live country music in the actual country that makes it vastly entertaining. I’m not into country music, but last summer, atop a nearly 10,000-foot mountain under a Colorado sky bluer than any I’d ever seen before, with snow-dotted southern Rocky Mountains on the horizon and nothing but fresh air and great tunes all around, I converted in a hurry. At least for that day. The … [Read more...]

Visiting the United States of America, Where to start?

January 21, 2015 by Dave2 Comments

As with other large countries, a visit to the USA can be daunting. Distances are great, attractions numerous, there are plenty of events to partake in regardless of the time of year and due to its size weather can sometimes be a concern. In my opinion quality always trumps quantity when traveling and because of America's large size I recommend visiting specific parts of the country rather than trying to see it all. And make multiple … [Read more...]

Let Les Bons Temps Roules in Red New Orleans

July 5, 2013 by John EdwardsLeave a Comment

John M. Edwards discovers New Orleans unique cuisine to be out of this world, not just Creole and Cajun clichés (“Gumbo” and “Jambalaya”), but also, well, nothing beats an Oyster Poboy! At the legendary Napoleon House in New Orleans, Lousiana, I found myself expectantly dreaming of a dressed “Oyster Poboy,” especially since they had not even one of them on their menus. (Hurricane Katrina had literally wiped out many of the oyster beds way back … [Read more...]

Charming and Mysterious Mazatlan

February 9, 2013 by Catherine Sweeney8 Comments

We had never been to Mazatlan, Mexico before and weren’t sure what to expect — except beautiful beaches and luxury resorts, perhaps. We found those and so much more, including history, culture and adventure. Mazatlan is a charming Mexican city with a distinctive character and even a little mystery. In Mazatlan, traditions have continued for many years allowing it to maintain an authenticity that one doesn’t find in many resort areas. The people … [Read more...]
