We felt right at home and utterly spoiled during our two nights at Posada de Taos. We just wished we could have stayed longer. Find out why we were so drawn to this Taos hotel.

We extended our Great American Road Trip 2011 from New Orleans up to Chicago, with a stop in Memphis, TN. 3,000 miles, 15 states, and a lot of deep fried fixin’s later, NYC2NOLA road trip has finally come to an end. Read on for updates on the last days and find out where we are headed next.

We’re all shook up about this week’s Polaroid – the Elvis statue in Memphis, Tennessee!

Though its name sounds otherwise, it is not located by the Golden Gate Bridge (although you’ll find two huge parks there too: the Golden Gate Park stretches for 47 blocks from Stanyan Street to the Pacific Ocean – it’s more than 3 miles long and half a mile wide, which makes it even bigger than New York’s Central Park and its 4.12 km2 (1.589 sq mi) makes it one of the largest urban parks on the planet. You can easily spend an entire day just exploring the broad parkways and the variety of activities the park offers.

Although we could spend months immersed in that particularly sweet blend of New Orleans urban life, there came a point during our visit where we just had to get out of town…what we discovered were the rural roots that throughout history have melted together to make the Crescent City so unique.

Savannah is known for its eccentric locals, including plenty of ghosts, but this weekend the spirits are more of a micro brew sort – as we enjoy the Savannah Craft Brew Festival 2011!

We had two action-packed days in Atlanta: The World of Coca Cola, a Studio Tour of CNN, the world’s largest aquarium, Southern Food and much more!

Find out why Atlanta is a music Mecca for the GlobetrotterGirls and whether or not we met any of our favorite musicians while in the ATL this year…

30 April marked our 1 year travel anniversary, and we took a look at our expenses so far – how much we have spent, where the money went, and what our average per day spend has been in each country.

Driving along the Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles to San Francisco is filled with wildlife watching experiences, so it seemed natural to sign up for a whale-watching tour to see some of nature’s largest mammals further off the coast of California. Little did we expect to have to hold on for dear life out on the open sea, and one of us spending more time clenching on at the back of the boat feeding her breakfast to the birds.
