Shopping is Serious Business: A Day at Silver Sands Factory Stores
When we were first married, my husband and I were visiting my grandmother (coincidentally, she lived in Pensacola, right near the South Walton beaches area of Florida where I am now) and she kindly took our rather poverty afflicted selves out to dinner one night. We went to a seafood buffet where my husband proceeded to fill … Continue reading

Swimming and Sunning at the Watercolor Inn & Resort
I should probably feel a trifle guilty that it’s going to be in the 30’s at home tonight. I probably should. But I am way too busy doing this to even think about being guilty.
The Auberge Bonaparte Hotel in Montreal, Canada
Turn down the Rue St-Francois-Xavier in Old Montreal and you could be forgiven for thinking you are in the middle of Paris. The beautiful, carved stone buildings. The cobblestone streets. The view of the river wending through the city. But as you drive down this quiet lane, look carefully or you will miss one of … Continue reading
All the Cool Kids are Doing It: A 2011 Retrospective
This has been a truly, truly wonderful year. It didn’t start out that way. Sometime last January, I got punched in the stomach with the news that the travel company I was writing for was doing away with the travel blog I had painstakingly designed and maintained for almost two years. Not only did they … Continue reading
Destination:Destin. Yes, AGAIN.
I thought I might be able to squeeze just one more trip into 2011 but it looks like my Girlfriends Getaway to the Emerald Coast is going to bump right over into 2012. And seriously, how fabulous is the name of that area of Florida? But appropriate when you consider the color of the gorgeous … Continue reading
Nolita (North of Little Italy), New York City
Check out my review of the Nolitan Hotel on my Examiner.com site HERE. Apparently, we ate a lot when we were in New York, judging from the photos I just sorted through. There are an exorbitant number of photos of food, places to purchase food, and restaurants. This should not surprise you, if you have … Continue reading

Why A Caribbean Cruise is the Perfect Girlfriends Getaway
I lolled back in my pool side lounge chair, opened my eyes, glanced out at the navy blue strip of ocean I could view through the railing slipping silently past as we cruised to our next gorgeous Caribbean port, and lazily mulled over whether to apply more sunscreen, move into the shade, or possibly just … Continue reading

Check it out! I’m featured in the BlogHer spotlight this morning. Nice early Christmas present, huh?
My Around-the-World Christmas Tree
When my husband and I went on our first big trip, I had never thought about buying Christmas tree ornaments while traveling. I was too thrilled to be on an actual cruise ship, headed to tropical locations I had only dreamed about in the past. Even though I had technically been a traveler my whole … Continue reading
