A Short Layover in San Francisco

Other title I considered for this post: Airborne in a San Francisco Taxi. I recently flew to Salt Lake City (SLC), Utah, via San Francisco (SFO), California.

If you know me you know I have a *ahem* few tattoos, and the majority of my artwork has a common theme: flowers. I am continuously inspired by their colorful beauty, and as a result I have several permanent flowers inked on my body as a constant reminder of the fragility of life – I [...]

Armed with the knowledge that I was hankering for some sunshine, one of my BFFs invited me to join her on a spring break getaway to her home in Scottsdale.  I gratefully accepted and booked a flight.  I’ve never been to Arizona before, but I find the landscape fascinating.  Arid and dry, Scottsdale is home [...]

Breaking my Vegas Cherry

When my husband told me that he had to (yes, you read that correctly HAD) to go to Las Vegas for corporate meetings, my wheels started turning (the ones in my head, of course).  When he told me that this trip would fall over the weekend of my birthday, the wheels came to a screeching [...]
