A trip to Marfa, Texas can be daunting. First, there is the logistics of getting there (with El Paso as the closest airport, then a 3 hour drive!). And let’s not forget how difficult it is to find a hotel (luckily the tiny town of Alpine, just 30 minutes East…
We just wrapped our trip to Marfa, Texas – a celebrity hot spot and considered Texas’ homegrown version of Brooklyn (or pretty much what Austin strives to be). Kevin and I have traveled a lot, but nothing really prepared us for our visit. There are so many “norms” in Marfa we’ve never experienced anywhere…
In my previous post, I wrote about how celebrities and artists flock to Marfa, Texas. For our second day in West Texas, we decided to mix it up, and break away from all the Marfa madness with a side trip to Big Bend National Park. Even if you’re planning just a weekend in…
We made it to Marfa, Texas! Never heard of it? Well, you’re definitely not alone. I can’t tell you how many people asked, “Who is Marta?” And probably wondered why we were visiting her in Texas. Marfa (not MARTA!) has long been on list of places to check out ever…
So I’ve taken a little hiatus from blogging. And this is because I’ve been BUSY prepping for our little vacay in Colombia. When Kevin and I began researching possible places to visit, we realized Colombia is not only compact but incredibly cheap! From Los Angeles, we paid around $360 for…
We’ve been finding ourselves in Downtown LA a lot lately. Six years ago when Kevin and I first moved to West Hollywood, we would occasionally brave a trip downtown… more out of curiosity than anything. There were a few coffee shops we enjoyed, but nothing that made us really want to spend…
I’ve been wanting to visit the Antelope Valley Poppy Fields in Lancaster, California for at least 6 years now. And came up with a little road trip that combines a few fun things along the way (including a remote desert set where they shot scenes from Star Trek, Big Bang Theory…
It’s a road trip! This weekend, we headed about 1 hour North of Los Angeles to Lancaster, California. The remote desert city is home to mostly military families. But that’s not all – it has a road that plays the tune of the “William Tell Overture” as you drive over Avenue G….
Every Monday, there is that typical question at the office… So what did you do last weekend? A movie? Or that boring response of “nothing much”? But my office mates were intrigued when I told them about a California State Park with hundreds of acres of citrus groves. And in…
We were living in LA for at least 2 years before I heard about Idyllwild, California — a tiny mountaintop artist community that most pass right by while zipping to Palm Springs for the weekend. As one of the residents told me and Kevin, if you make it here 2…
