Girls Getaway to the City by the Bay
The first thing you need to know about your completely fabulous getaway to San Francisco is that you are going to be friggin’ cold. Doesn’t matter if it is winter, spring, summer or fall, this beautiful city is pretty much always chilly, especially in the evenings, especially near the bay, especially if you are actually … Continue reading
Pin ItDon’t Forget the Bonine or Why I Will Never Again Eat A Chocolate Covered Cherry
I like to think I’m pretty travel savvy. I have learned to pack (somewhat) lighter in that I don’t take nearly as many pairs of shoes as I truly desire. I print all my contact information and tuck it neatly into my suitcase in case it is ever – God forbid – lost with all … Continue reading
Pin ItPhoto Friday: Pirate Wenches on Tybee Island, Georgia
Last fall, we went to the annual Tybee Island, Georgia Pirate Fest and had a ball. Just about everyone on the small island got into the pirate spirit and we saw lots of people dressed up. Three scurvy wenches caught Tom’s photographer eye.

Bright, beautiful turquoise and the perfect complement to the ultra-modern vibe throughout the room and, indeed, throughout the entire hotel. We were only there for … Continue reading
Pin ItPhoto Friday: Frozen Lake Michigan Dock
I use Tom’s photos all the time in my writing – pretty much every photo on the travel blog was taken by him. Except food. He leaves it up to me to take the food photos. He simply does not understand the fascination with taking a picture of a lovely plate of food when he could be … Continue reading
Pin ItThe Year of the Cruise. Apparently.
I know you are going to feel so sorry for me when I tell you that we had to pass up an offer for a press trip cruise to Alaska this summer. So sorry because we had to pass it up for the simple reason that we are going to be on another cruise just a week before that. … Continue reading
Pin ItBe in the Moment – You Can Write About it Later!
Two years ago about this time, we were on a wine tasting cruise with AmaWaterways through Germany. We spent a few days in Amsterdam, cruised through Germany and ended up in Paris. Every single thing we did was new to us. We had never been to Europe and never been on a river cruise so … Continue reading
