The Inn at Eagle Mountain, Scottsdale, AZ

Check out my review of this location on Examiner.com as well HERE. I stretched out my legs so my toes could get even closer to the fire in the fireplace which was crackling merrily and busily warming up my frigid toes. As warmth spread through my icy feet, I looked around at the large and … Continue reading »

#The Great Hair Product Project of 2012: The Inn at Eagle Mountain, Scottsdale, AZ

If you wonder why in the world I’m writing about hotel amenities, just read this post. I am so IN LOVE with Arizona. The desert, the mountains, the canyons, the saguaro cactus…wait. I must show you a picture I took of a saguaro cactus we saw in Scottsdale.   Seriously? Someone was having too much … Continue reading »

In Which I Prove Myself to be a Bold and Intrepid Traveler

The last time we went on a trip, I unpacked my suitcase and lifted out the very large baggie stuffed with my shampoo, conditioner, bath gel and lotion and said no more. This is ridiculous. Because I’m normally traveling for a good chunk of days, I need a large container of shampoo, etc. and those … Continue reading »

Tiny Luxembourg = Big Vacation

I was a little amused by the fact that the capital of Luxembourg was also named Luxembourg – who does that? – until my husband gently reminded me of New York, New York. Oh. OK. Not that strange after all. Luxembourg is truly a lovely little country and I don’t use the word “little” lightly. … Continue reading »

Westward Ho! Arizona, Here We Come!

I feel like a juggler, balancing all those plates in the air – and then he starts adding items until he is just a whirl of motion keeping everything going. I also understand now why Gary Arndt has an assistant because planning a two-week trip with innumerable stays, tours, and restaurant visits to a place … Continue reading »

Road Trip! South Walton Girlfriends Getaway

Bemused, I gazed at my bright pink, freshly pedicured toes. The pedicure was lovely but what was truly, truly lovely was the view I had over my toes, resting on the end of a lounge chair on a blindingly white sand beach in South Walton, Florida.

Saint John City Market, New Brunswick, Canada

I like to think I’m organized. I keep spreadsheets and write notes and always, always put my keys back in the right place so I won’t lose them. I go into excruciatingly, annoyingly, anal mode when I am planning a trip and plan every single detail. So when I was just writing a magazine article … Continue reading »
