Texas or Bust

Email, RSS Follow

coming home – the lone star state

lola's getting geared up to go home

i think it’s quite fitting that my first trip of the new year is to my HOME state – TEXAS!  while i do plan to swing through big D to see family, the primary purpose of my trip is to meet up with some travel blogger twitter friends in Austin.  we only  know each other virtually but soon will meet in real life.  i’m *super excited* and know it’s going to be the first of many meet up/tweet ups!!!

on the itinerary:

  • stay at the fab Four Seasons Austin – can’t wait to check out your swanky pad & be more “social” with you!
  • some fantastico tex-mex –  of course!
  • couldn’t leave Austin without trying Salt Lick BBQ – touted to be the BEST!
  • going to see some authentic Austin music in some classic Austin venues like the Broken Spoke!
  • and getting lola a new pair of sh#t kickers otherwise known as cowboy boots!

little lola has on her boots and is packed & ready to go! TEXAS or BUST!!

i may end up calling this trip F to the Fourth – Four Seasons, Food, Fun & Friendship!

see you soon, home sweet home!

XO – lola

PS – if you’d like to follow our adventures – we’ll be tweeting under the hashtag #TexasTweetUp all weekend!

okay…i have to confess that this was not my idea just my answer to travel all-star Iain Mallory’s question. nevertheless, it was fun to play along! here’s how it unfolds…

Monday – Iain asks:

Not sure the ten word stuff is really testing you enough so going to cut it to the ‘Lucky 7’ 🙂 First one up is – Seven must take items on any trip?

Looking forward to some great travel gear tips here!

1)iPhone 2)lipgloss 3)comfy shoes 4)great accessories 5)wrap 6)money 7)flirting skills(this is Lola afterall) 🙂
Lol at great accessories Lauren bit slippery with that one, and even more LOL at flirting skills, that must be a huge suitcase 😉

Tuesday – Lola begins packing & shows her 7 essential items:

@LolaDiMarco @malloryontravel I love those baubles. I would say they are essential, along with the boa, to capture a cowboy’s eye. 🙂

@L_e_a_h @LolaDiMarco cowboys like boas? and yeah think you might need more than $100 to get in worthwhile trouble 😉

@MalloryOnTravel @LolaDiMarco Cowboys, like primates and racoons, like shiny things. Boas count in that category. #TexasTweetup

@LolaDiMarco @l_e_a_h this is beginning to sound like a fishing expedition, cowboys caught hook, line & sinker! #TexasTweetup
