Quality Inn - Baton Rouge 1755 O'Neal Ln., Baton Rouge, LA, 70816, US Baton Rouge is a beautiful city in the culture-filled state of Louisiana. It's about an hour and a half  drive from one of my favorite cities in the US, New Orleans!! Have you ever been to New Orleans to experience Essence Music Festival? Bayou Classic? A NFL Saints game? or just to experience the fantastic fresh seafood and authentic sounds of a local brass band? Well, if not, I would highly suggest you pay New Orleans a visit. But back to the topic at hand, since this particular post is not about New Orleans, but about its' neighboring sister city, Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge is easily accessible from two convenient interstates. It sits right at the west intersection of Interstate 10 and Interstate 12 and the Mississippi River. Baton Rouge is also the capital of Louisiana. Antebellum landmarks include the castle-like Old Louisiana State Capitol, now a museum, and Magnolia Mound Plantation, with its Fr...

Comfort Inn & Suites Medical Center 6039 West IH 10, San Antonio, TX, 78201, US San Antonio is one of my absolute favorite cities!! Being from Oklahoma, Texas is our neighbor which means I made many childhood memories in the state where everything is big!! I'm a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, spent summers with friends at Six Flags (both in Dallas and San Antonio), and know the story of the Alamo like the back of my hand. Even as a young adult, I always wanted to live in Texas..... but then I ended up in college in Georgia, got married... Life happened. But that doesn't mean that visiting one of my favorite states is out of reach! I travel there every chance I get to feel the Texas sun on my face, enjoy the most amazing tacos ever, brush up on my Spanish, or hit a rodeo or festival. If you haven't been to Texas, or specifically San Antonio, plan a trip there when you can. As a matter of fact, this year they are celebrating their Tricentennial !! What better time to pay the...

Comfort Suites University - Research Park 7735 University City Blvd, Charlotte, NC, 28213 Charlotte, North Carolina (Queen City) is one of my absolute favorite American cities!! The nightlife is lively, the food is great, the neighborhoods are so cute, homes are beautiful, and life balances perfectly between fast and slow according to what you need!! They have one of the most beautiful downtown skylines of all of the places I have visited and I love that downtown doesn't exactly sit on the main highway that runs through town. Therefore, there is a work around for traffic during rush hour if you are just passing through...... not like home in Atlanta but that a blog post for another day. I am in Charlotte about twice a month and each time, I am so very impressed by the choice of lodging accommodations at my disposal. Charlotte is a very progressive, southern city, that is not far from other major cities in North Carolina including Raleigh - Durham, Greensboro, and Wilmington...
