A Gold Ribbon on the Toilet Paper
Golden sparkles of light on turquoise waves were visible through the sliding glass doors of our gorgeous hotel room at the Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa as we dropped our suitcases inside the door and began to set our internal clocks to Mexico time. Slow, sultry, and relaxed. Where everything was no problem. And … Continue reading

I Have Travel Writer ADD
On any given morning, I take my Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper – we all get our caffeine fixes in our own way, thankyouverymuch – in my Tervis cup with lots of ice because we Southerners are all about lots of ice and settle down in front of my computer, all prepared to get a ton … Continue reading
What NOT To Give Your Sweetie For Christmas
Every magazine I pick up recently has articles about what to give your girlfriend/fiancé/wife for Christmas. Beautiful, glittering piles of decadent chocolates, imaginatively scented soaps, exquisite jewelry and exotic trinkets like a bejeweled iPhone case sparkle enticingly from the pages.

Just One More Story
There it was. The eye glaze. The hidden watch glance, the almost imperceptible sigh, the shifting in the seat, the beginning of the polite dismissal.

We had just been driven from the Buffalo airport to Niagara Falls – a trip that took approximately 20 minutes. I had noticed when we got in that the meter was not set … Continue reading
At Sea on the Norwegian Jewel
We are cruising along on a navy blue sea with sparkles of gold on the tips of the waves which look like pirates have scattered their treasured doubloons on the water. The last time we left New York on our way to Bermuda, the water was so rough that the pool water was splashing up … Continue reading
Shoes, Glorious Shoes!
I wouldn’t want you to think that I might possibly like shoes, but I have an entire shoe closet. That’s right. A shoe closet. I was just re-watching the second “Sex in the City” movie and I was amused and just a teeny bit smug when Carrie was gloating over her fabulous closet because seriously? … Continue reading
Two + Years of Traveling the World
Pyramids of school supplies are starting to appear everywhere I go and many of my teacher friends are already back at work. And I have not one, teeny tiny regret that one of those busy teachers is not me. Two years ago, about this time, I walked out of my school librarian job of twenty … Continue reading
