Philly was another one of my sporadic weekend trips to the U.S. Even though it wasn’t our main destination, there was so much the city had to offer. Of course, if I had done proper research prior to going, I might have actually gotten a better idea of all its attractions and historic significance.

Sin City is really the correct term to describe Las Vegas, because the entire time I was there I spent in pure indulgence. I didn’t think it was possible to eat three buffets in four days, but somehow it happened and I think it will be…
