Vegas

We love blogging about living in a 55+ Community, parenting, and our doggie. You can expect to see blogs about all these topics here!

Our Story

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! 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!

 

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 is balancing life as a California probate attorney and working all the events at Allegiant Stadium, including the Raider football games, concerts, and anything else held at the stadium. Kat is a Court Appointed Special Advocate for kids in the foster system (CASA) as well as a volunteer on the Disaster Action Team for the American Red Cross.

 

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 Stanley Cup champions, the Vegas Golden Knights hockey team, as well as the two-time WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces. 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!

Why I Love Ko Olina’s Secret Beach

We always seem to hold our breath as we near the end of the path and peek around the corner to see if any sightseers are crowding around. That’s a sure sign that there’s a monk resting on the sand.

Ala Moana Mall Massages, Oahu

There was a sign on the front window advertising milk foot water, free snacks, and hot tea. I had no idea what “milk foot water” was, but I was intrigued.

Play in Vegas

PLAY is an adult’s only, immersive playground where you can play your favorite games from childhood, if you grew up in the 70’s and 80’s.

Better Late Than Never

This adventure started at the airport in Madrid while waiting for our flight to Marrakech, Morocco. Cabana John, aka my hubby, was talking with some guys at the gate who mentioned that they were going to Marrakech to “film a little show.”
