littl' bits of lamiki

Meet Nickee: member of the committee who welcomed me to Pune 3 yeara ago after 30 hours of travel and who indulged my love of Indian food while in Singapore this past weekend. His favorite pastime is a human selfie stick and he was a stand in for 4 Nicolas Cage movies (can you guess which ones?). Plus, his wife is a complete bad ass. 🙃🇸🇬 #htcelevate #everythingaboutthisistrue #passthenaan #laurasworldtour (at Little India Singapore .)

How to score free oysters in NOLA: order a dozen of the most expensive oysters on the menu (because you need to taste that Pacific Northwest ocean), and the oyster shuckers might toss in some New Brunswicks to accompany your Kumomotos because you know your shellfish. 😋🇺🇸 // Delightful night swimming in martinis and oysters with my ladies. 💝 #oysters #wesaidyesinnola #weekendinamerica #nola #Kumomoto (at Luke Restaurant)
