Hello, and Welcome to my travel blog... I've always loved to travel - mostly domestically, but I'm be going out of my comfort zone soon. I don't do the general tourist things; I take lots of pictures and discuss my surprise finds that the people of the country, state, or city will rarely tell you about; possibly scratching that traveling itch of your own.
FYI: I AM disabled (as you will see in the next paragraph), so I will be traveling on a budget. So please sit back and enjoy the journey...
-----------------
To start, I am a kidney disorder transplant survivor - in my seventh year and getting stronger! I was on dialysis for five years, and I received a kidney in 2018, Sadly, exactly 3 weeks from the day I was released, a large SUV ran into me on the sidewalk; breaking my left tibia, fibula, and a few bones in my foot. After two surgeries (too late), I am able to walk, slowly, but I am disabled for the rest of my life as certain things I can no longer do. That said, my walking is faster, my gait got sturdier, and I'm able to work a few part time jobs on a regular basis.
I've been considering writing a book or blog about my travels years ago, and at the end of 2024, it began to come together for me. I began thinking about places I could go; even bring friends, and I told a good friend about my desire to write again, and she suggested the blog (I had forgotten that I wrote a blog about fashion 9yrs ago). And here we are!
About the time of that realization, I received a free 4-day vacation from one of the hotel clubs I've joined; 'IHG Hotels and Resorts.' I was cancelling a reservation and got connected to a customer service representative who gave me a 4-day vacation in New Orleans if I was willing to sit through a timeshare presentation - which I quickly accepted as I had always wanted to visit New Orleans, especially for Mardi Gras. And that is where the blog begins...
