25 years ago Kristi moved to New Orleans and met Cynthia House Hunter. In this episode, they share their adventures; from a favorite hangout - the legendary restaurant 1179, where Kristi had an awkward encounter with an admirer's fiance, to firing the napping housekeeper, to the party scene on the New Orleans waterfront.
In February, 2024, Kristi presided over Cynthia's marriage to Dale - also known as "Hunter".
A lover of all things Italian, Cynthia now runs a travel business, Sicilian Adventures.com, which offers small group immersive adventures through the culture, cuisine and landscapes of Sicily, the largest of the Italian islands.
