Cattle driving isn’t as easy as it looks

We went searching for more cows again on Friday. Trailered up to the meadows at 9:45am where we met up with our trusty steeds ready for more cow hunting. We were with the same group so we were quite the team by now. The morning started off slow for finding any cows but the riding…

Vista Verde 2017

Being back at Vista Verde is GREAT!!! This ranch is simply amazing. Everything they do here, they do it so well! No stone is left unturned. We arrived on Sunday afternoon after enjoying the most delicious Mexican food from a little permanent food truck stop – teeny tiny little place but such good shrimp tacos….

What makes Vista Verde Ranch so magical is everything – the winter wonderland setting, the design of the ranch, all the staff that make you instantly feel like family, the lovely guests that quickly become friends that you feel like you’ve known a lot longer than a few days, the fun and exciting activities, the…

More fun & pics in Chicago

So I have spent the past three days watching Chicago turn into a beautiful winter wonderland. Since I arrived there have been snow flurries but late yesterday afternoon it truly started snowing.

New York (part 1)

Well, what can I say but I love being back in New York City. I truly love this place and to be here this time of year is amazing – the place even smells like Christmas, thanks to the fresh Christmas trees that are sold on some street corners. Arrived at Penn Station and was…

Savannah, Georgia

Savannah is pretty and full of beautiful live oak trees. For the 2 nights I was in Savannah, I stayed down on the riverfront where all the action happens. The city is a mix of Charleston and New Orleans. The people are lovely and want to chat to the Aussie Gal that is travelling around…
