Hi All, I’m back from Riviera Maya, Mexico!  I stayed at the Grand Velas Riviera Maya, a luxury all-inclusive resort. Grand Velas is the only family-friendly all-inclusive resort in the Mexican Caribbean to be rated Five Diamonds by the AAA.  If you go to the Mexican Caribbean stay at the Grand Velas!  I’ve never had better hospitality/service in my life!  I never had to wait for anything because there was always someone there to take care of anything and everything.   Read more

….til we meet again.  This is my last post on the farewell tour of my London, Paris and Amsterdam trip down memory lane.  To the two beautiful friends that traveled with me, to the new friends that we met along the way, thanks for making this one of the most memorable vacations ever.  For a girl who had never been to Europe and hasn’t been back since, this was a trip I’ll never forget.  I’m dying to go back to Europe and visit, fingers crossed I can make it this summer.   Read more

Last minute trip to Amsterdam Part 2!  So like typical American tourists we obviously visited the I Amsterdam sign first and took a million photos.  It was a cloudy and chilly day which made the photographs turn out amazing and the I Amsterdam sign wasn’t that crowded.  After we visited the I Amsterdam sign and the Anne Frank House / Museum we went to the Van Gogh museum.  If you have a chance to visit the Van Gogh museum while you are in Amsterdam, I highly recommend it.  I mean it’s the Van Gogh museum… sunflowers and irises… come on people!  Read more

Last minute trip to Amsterdam…why not?  Halfway through our stay in Paris we were out late having dinner and drinks in the city.  After coming home to our hotel around 3am we got on the only computer in the hotel lobby and thought it would be a great idea to buy a train ticket to Amsterdam departing at 7am from Gare du Nord.  We had a rough time waking up after 4 hours or so of sleep…. so we were running late.  When we got to the train platform, no one was there and the doors to get on text train were locked.  Needless to say, the train conductor yelled at us and we thought they were not going to let us on the train but alas they felt sorry for the three dumb American girls.  So, we boarded the train and we were on our way to Amsterdam!

It’s Wednesday so happy hump day!  Please take me back to Paris!  I’m reminiscing on my trip to Paris with these four lovely ladies.  You cannot go to Paris, France without visiting the Musée du Louvre.  The four of us waited in line to visit the museum and of course, to see the Mona Lisa.  Please note, I’m the little one in all black.  I wore a dress, sweater, leggings and boots to walk around the museum.

This is my 1 week anniversary of launching my blog La Vie Petite!  I launched my blog last Monday on Labor Day!  Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me and liked my photos on my Instagram account and on my blog.  To celebrate this 1 week anniversary (I mean I know it isn’t 1 month or 1 year) but still it’s a big deal to me, I wanted to post another throwback to the best girls Europe trip ever with some pictures with my best friend Joanna.  Read more

Rain, rain, go away!  As I said in my earlier posts, it only rained once, on our first day in London.  While walking around Trafalgar Square I wore a dress, sweater, blazer and boots to keep warm in the rain.  At the time I didn’t have any Hunter Boots, but now that I do I really wish I had them at the time to keep my toes warm!

Next stop on my trip down memory lane is London.  If I could afford to live in London, I would…a girl can dream.  I haven’t met anyone who hasn’t fallen in love with London after a visit.  I never did a study abroad in college and that is one mistake I truly regret.  I felt like I was traveling back in time during my visit.  Case in point, the Tower Bridge is astonishing.  The Tower Bridge is one of the iconic symbols of London.  It crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London, was built from 1886 to 1894 and designed by Sir Horace Jones.  Look, I can also throw in bits of history as well!
