Puerto Vallarta: Day 1
A couple weeks ago I headed to Puerto Vallarta for a stay at Casa Velas. I made the trek to Newark Liberty International Airport to catch an early-morning flight. After a quick flight and layover in Chicago, I was on my way! My flight to Puerto Vallarta went by quickly; and before I knew it, I was on my way to the hotel.
Clairo at Franklin Music Hall
If you’re familiar with my blogs, you probably know I go to a lot of concerts, especially for female alternative/indie artists. My most recent live music venture was to see Clairo on November 1 at Franklin Music Hall, a general admission Philadelphia venue. I was worried I would have to miss this one at first because while Clairo is one of my favorite artists, when tickets first went on sale, the prices were astronomical for a GA venue. After refreshing the page a bunch of times, prices came down a bit, and I jumped at the change. I still overspent compared to what I’ve paid for other shows at this venue, but I justified it for Clairo.

A Few Firsts in the Big Apple
It is always exciting to visit New York City, but this time felt extra special. My future sister-in-law is visiting from the Dominican Republic, and I had the chance to show her around the Big Apple. We made sure to check off a few “firsts” I’d never experienced before. From taking the tram to Roosevelt Island and catching the sunset on the Staten Island Ferry to celebrating Día de los Muertos in Times Square, this trip had a little bit of everything.
Exploring Bellagio
On my recent trip to Italy, we spent time exploring the charming village of Bellagio on Lake Como. Our hotel was a short walk from the ferry stop. The ferry ride to Bellagio was short and the tickets were inexpensive, so it made for a perfect afternoon activity.
Friends with the Flight Attendant
One random Monday night this past summer, I received a text from a lifelong friend saying, “Wanna go to Boston with me tomorrow?” As vague as this question was, I was immediately intrigued. “What should I pack?” I replied.
