Thanks to the joys of modern technology, I can blog like I never left. With our whirlwind European vacation quickly approaching and my trusty iPhone in hand, my goal is to give you each day in pictures from Dublin, London and everywhere in between! Until then, it’s puppy love time… Happy New Year!

Just a little note to kick off the holidays… Merry Christmas! Love, Dakota
i’m hungry.
I’m hungry… Therefore, food is the topic of the day. Dining out while traveling can be some of the best (and worst) experiences when it comes to cuisine. I’ve learnerd over the years that regional specialties amid humdrum chain establishments should be your vote every single time. Period. When in doubt as to where to go, ask a…
christmas at the brochu’s.
Christmas is certainly one of my favorite times of year. December is one of the few months that Houston has temperatures cool enough to wear a scarf! Between the parties, friends, family and beautifully wrapped packages, Christmas is a blast. The one tradition that D and I started almost a decade ago involves our Christmas tree ornaments,…
vegas= happy place.
Vegas = Happy Place. MY happy place to be exact. If you’ve never been to Las Vegas, or at least not in recent years, it truly is sensory overload.

We LOVE Elmo. I mean, really. He is the best vacation bartender ever. And because he is so amazing, he is on Paul Gauguin Cruises Facebook Page demonstrating some of his best drinks. Check back next week for all the great reasons to be Facebook friends with your favorite travel destinations!

afternoon day dream.
Today I’m day dreaming of: Have you guessed it yet…It’s…. LAS VEGAS. And with less than 2 weeks til the hubs and I venture to Sin City, I’m absolutely giddy. Giddy at the thought of bright lights and larger than life ambiance. Giddy with the realization I can wear sparkles in public without being frowned…
