visiting new orleans jackson square

There is truly something for everyone when visiting New Orleans -- amazing food, fantastic nightlife, history, architecture, and more. If you haven't been to New Orleans yet, drop what you're doing and book the trip. I've been three times and know I will keep going back -- it's a city that feels like pure magic.

visiting new orleans

A swamp and plantation tour in Louisiana was at the top of my must-do list on my latest trip to New Orleans. Since both the swamps and plantations are located outside the city and I didn't have a car with me, I wanted to book one tour that offered both activities in one day. This was harder to find than I anticipated, and most of the choices I found were overly expensive. I decided to book with Cajun Pride as they offered everything I was looking for: roundtrip transportation to/from my hotel, … [Read more...]

The waters surrounding Key West are absolutely beautiful and you have the opportunity to see a lot more of the island than you likely would on land. Fury is one of Key West's biggest and most popular tour companies. They offer snorkeling, sunset cruises, dolphin watching, parasailing, and, of course, jet ski tours. We didn't have anything planned when my husband, John, and I left our … [Read more...]

La Concha Hotel in Key West Review

September 24, 2020 by alongforadventure 13 Comments

la concha hotel key west

La Concha Hotel in Key West is a gorgeous, 4-star resort in the heart of Key West's downtown. I stayed here with my husband, John, for our third wedding anniversary this year and we were beyond impressed with La Concha Hotel -- the location was perfect, their staff treated us like royalty, and the amenities were top-notch. From the moment we checked in until we left (very, very early in the morning since we had to drive the 3.5 hours back to Fort Lauderdale for our flight), the staff were … [Read more...]
