2012 set the bar pretty high when it came to travel. I mean, how can I possibly top a year during which I traveled 28,000 miles and visited 12 destinations, including Hawaii and Pompeii–all while holding down a full-time job? Well, the simple truth is, I can’t. So I’m not even going to try. But [...]

2011: Where Am I Going?

March 18, 2011

August 3, 2010

Most of my time (and most tourists’ time) in Las Vegas is spent on the Strip or Downtown in the major casino-resorts, surrounded by pools and slot machines, attractions, and shows–a sort of fantasy land for adults.  All of which is great fun, but after umpteen trips to Vegas, I started wondering what else is [...]

Introducing: The Vegas Solo

April 13, 2010

I’m having a website party, a “coming out party” of sorts, and you’re invited.  Last fall, a seed of an idea germinated in my head that it might be a good idea to separate out my SoloFriendly Las Vegas content from my blog and house it on its own separate website.  I’ve been nipping away [...]

A Solo Night at Brendan’s Irish Pub

January 11, 2010

Do you like going out to hear live music when you travel?  I do.  I rarely go out for live music at home, because I have to get up pretty early for work and our local music venues tend to target a much younger demographic (it’s a college town). So going out to hear live [...]
