Summer Trip to New Orleans!

My family and I decided to go to New Orleans this summer for a little R&R! My mom actually was the one who came up with this destination, so after she told me where she wanted to go I took it upon myself to plan the whole trip. If I must say I did a wonderful job planning, we stayed at the JW Marriott which was located on Canal Street in the center of it all. Right outside our hotel doors were tons of great shops, restaurants, and historic landmarks. By way of an old street car we got a chance to detour down to the Garden District, which was breathtaking the homes are absolutely beautiful. We also got a chance to tour an old cemetery while we were in the Garden District, it was very interesting to learn about the cultures and traditions of the people of New Orleans. While walking throughout the city we encountered some of the most friendliest people, folks would stop and spark up random conversations with us. I really love the laid back vibe of this city, I'm so looking forward to my next trip to good ol' N'awlins!

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Wow, what can I say I had an amazing time during my week in Montego Bay with my love, such a beautiful Island with beautiful people. The weather was a perfect 85 degrees the entire week I was there, with a lovely breeze that swept across the Island every afternoon it was pure perfection. I kept it easy and breezy while I was there wearing lots of dresses, sandals, and crop tops, it was probably the first time in my life that I didn't have any jewelry on. I spent a lot of time laying out on the beach drinking pina-coladas, I went to a few different shopping villages, and ate some great food. The resort was beautiful I had a wonderful suite with a magnificent view of the Caribbean Sea to my left and a beautiful view of the mountains to my right, I'm already planning my next trip and cant wait to go back to the beautiful Island of Jamaica.
