What Do You Really Need to Pack for a Trip to Las Vegas?

Last weekend, I went to Las Vegas with my sister to soak up the sun poolside. Usually, by November the weather cools down in Las Vegas and they start calling it their winter season. However, it was already starting to cool the last week of October. Instead of temperatures in the 80’s Fahrenheit, they dipped into the 60’s. Doesn’t it seem to happen that the weather turns unfavorable right when you travel someplace?! It was 80 again the day after we got back. In the end, we even enjoyed the pool on 68 degree days because there was sun and no wind on deck.

It ended up that I only needed to wear the warmer clothes I packed. I brought mostly sandals and lightweight clothing and didn’t end up wearing them. After returning home, I surveyed what I actually wore out of my overpacked bags. It boils down to a capsule wardrobe that works for four days in between seasons in Las Vegas. And age doesn’t matter when you use my packing list.

So what do you really need to pack for a trip to Las Vegas?

Have You Ever Wondered What Life is Like in Guadalajara, Mexico?

Have you ever wondered what life is like in Guadalajara? My friend, Elaine, has been living there for over 15 years. She returned to visit the United States many times but this is the first time I finally made it out to visit her exotic home state of Jalisco, Mexico. My vacation there and time with my friend wasn’t conducive to writing a blog post, but it certainly was an opportunity to take photos. So I would like to show you the pictures I took while Elaine escorted me all over town to see the sights. I hope you enjoy what I have to share!
