Life

We are John and Kathleen. Affectionately known as Cabana John and Kat by our friends, which we hope you will soon be. We currently live in Las Vegas, after a mid-life decision (not crisis) to start a new adventure in life. Our kids graduated from high school and headed off to college, so we were free to do whatever we wanted so one week later we moved to Las Vegas! We thought long and hard about where we wanted to go. We visited places, made lists of pros and cons, read blogs, and talked to locals. Vegas hit all the requirements, so now, here we are over 5 years later!

We like to think of ourselves as a fun-loving couple. We love to travel, walk the dog, have game nights with our neighbors… OK, that makes us sound really boring! We also love to be spontaneous, explore new places, and meet new people. We are just as likely to attend the musical Hamilton as we are to stand in the mosh pit at a Snoop Dog concert.

When we’re not traveling, John works many events at Allegiant Stadium, including the Raider football games, concerts, and any unique events held at the stadium. Kat recently finished a multi-year assignment as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and also volunteers on the Disaster Action Team for the American Red Cross. Beyond that both of us like working on our YouTube channels and websites!

Needless to say, we are busy when we’re home. In addition to our “work” lives, we spend as much time enjoying Vegas as possible. We’re big fans of the Vegas Golden Knights hockey team and were at the game when they won the Stanley Cup in 2023, as well as big fans of the three-time WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces. We are excited for the A’s to move here in 2028 and the new NBA team to follow! We love Vegas and post about shows, restaurants, concerts, sports, and more on the Vegas page, so be sure to check it out! I bet you’ll learn something new about Vegas. You know, it’s not just about drinking and gambling anymore!
