VISITING MONTECITO & LAS VEGAS – The USA Diaries



Happy New Year!
We’re stepping away from the English countryside to experience a different landscape in this episode. As an antidote to the current cold and dreary January weather in the UK, I’m revisiting my Summer vacation spent with family on the West Coast of America. This is just a taster of what we got up to including a birthday trip to Las Vegas to celebrate a 21st. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing and I hope that you enjoy!

  1. Happy New Year Paula and family and Lady Dashwood. Thank you for a lovely video as always. Peace and Blessings in the New Year!

  2. Happy New Year! I’m new here and have enjoyed your videos and all the charm of the English Countryside. I live in a large development in the middle of nowhere in New Jersey, USA. I have always had a container veggie garden but am thinking about a real flower garden this spring/summer. Will be purchasing your book soon. I have traveled to Las Vegas on numerous occasions and will be delighted to visit other venues besides the casinos. Thanks for sharing your trip!❤

  3. I just came across your channel to discover adventure for life and beauty. I believe a bit of quiet time is needed to catch up on some videos. California is my home state and I love everything. New Subscriber!🌷❤️🌷

  4. That was an absolutely delightful stroll with you, with so much packed into it, what a joy.
    Wishing you all the very best for 2023.

  5. I love your adventures!!! I live in New York and Montecito, California is beautiful!!! However, not as beautiful as the English countryside ❤️ Happy New Year

  6. Thank you Paula your video is so nice. So glad you were able to visit the US and had a great time! I must get to the English countryside soon!

  7. You certainly went from one extreme to the other with visiting Las Vegas to the beautiful and tranquil gardens I live in Texas. So happy you got to visit our country. I got to visit England a couple of years ago, and it was so beautiful ❤️

  8. So beautiful, thank you. Lotusland Gardens is so peaceful and like a lovely dream.
    I hope you visit New York one day. We have beautiful beaches and gardens here too! Then perhaps I could meet you !

  9. A wonderful video. My husband and I had a great visit to that part of the world and really enjoyed our trip. Happy New Year from Jersey Channel Islands.

  10. Thanks so much for this wonderful look a Montecito, CA (in exquisite Paula style).☀️🌊
    I stayed at the Bellagio Hotel, overlooking that fabulous “dancing” fountain; but I never thought of a trip combining the theatrics of Vegas with the natural serenity of Montecito ⭐️💡!
    What a wonderful vacation for all the members of your beautiful family!❤
    Happy New Year, Paula!🎉

  13. Thank you so much for the view of the Gardens and all their Glory! Thoroughly enjoyed your cameo in "Riches", you were perfectly cast for the role! Hope to see more of your Acting ventures and Cheers to a wonderful New Year!

  14. Beautiful Beloved,I really enjoy relaxing and following You and Your Family excursions. Best music choices. Thank You.

  15. Love the choice of travels and music. Your delightful Spirit makes me relax. THANK You Beloved.

  16. I loved Santa Barbara and Montecinto, so your video today was right down my alley. My trip to Lotusland, was certainly a highlight, when I was there the Palm Trees were propagating, so all the lessons I studied in Botany class many years ago were acting themselves out in nature. The tour guide was wonderful and a true Horticulturalist. I am visiting The Bay Area in June for a family holiday.. I will look into staying at The Rosewood, since it is on the Beach. Thank you for the tip.

  17. Hey Paula…Happy New Year… What can I say…love your style, you remind me so much of my friend Cynthia… Hopefully, we will get to visit your side of the world to say "hey"… Glad you liked the US…till then, please keep these videos coming…Your friend from South Georgia in the good ole USA😊

  18. Your videos are always so amusing, interesting, inspiring!
    I have been in las Vegas in 1994 with my daughters, then 7 and 6! We stayed at the Caesar's, which I may say did not impress me! I found it a little vulgar. There was a concert of Tom Jones but my daughters preferred the Chinese restaurant with the fortune cookies! We had lunch at the Bellagio, which I found elegant , with my aunt. The Lake Tahoe we visited afterwards was more relaxing, especially with two little girls!
