I’m confident the game of eenie meenie miney moe was created by a Napa Valley virgin. One look at the map, and it’s easy to see what I’m talking about–Napa and Sonoma are each abundantly full of vineyards and tasting rooms, all claiming to have the best juice in the area. So how do you…

sunshine and purple teeth.
Yes, I’ve been M.I.A. That’s because D and I ventured to wine country for a little R&R over the long weekend. We’ve been to the Valley 4 times in less than 2 years– thanks be to our friend’s wedding there– and we absolutely adore the area. (Check out my Moving Beyond Boxed Wine Post Here)…
10 on tuesday– things i love.
It’s that time again– 10 on Tuesday. As my trip is approaching, here are 10 things that I love in regards to travel. Some are tricks, some are splurges, others mere eccentric behaviors. Either way, these 10 things make up what I enjoy as part of our travel experience! So, in no particular order: 10.)…
an afternoon quickie.
Just a little afternoon quickie–I found this article while I was researching my Vegas post from Wednesday. USA Today’s Travel Blogger discusses Caesar Entertainment’s plans to build a Ferris Wheel LARGER than the London Eye. Really? I guess there will need to be a 3rd sequel to the Hangover that will include Phil scaling the structure while being chased…
separates vs. packages– and the winner is?
Along time ago I figured out that travel keeps me sane. The excitement of looking forward to our next adventure makes my mundane days do-able. I frequently came home from a fantastic outing only to find myself down and lonely, rather than rejuvenated. It was awful. So for the last few years, D and I have made it…

So, here it is, direct from the author himself, Ed Hewitt. (To see the article as published by travel on MSNBC, click here.) ______________________________________________…
planning equals perfection. well, kinda.
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. This post is dedictated to getting organized and back into the swing of things, whether you have a kiddo off to school today, are a teacher, or are dealing with the residual traffic associated with the first two. ____________________________________________ I had a comment on my…
tricks for flight deals.
Airplane travel has gotten really expensive over the last few years. A friend recently said to me, “remember when we flew to Denver on Continental for $100 round-trip during ski season? Man I miss those days!” Me, too… With the shifty economy and seemingly always rising fuel costs, how do you find good deals on…
10 on tuesday– bora bora edition.
It’s the second edition of 10 on Tuesday, and hopefully you’ll like this one as much as you liked the first. Bora Bora. It’s my heaven. In fact, when describing it to people I often say, “I hope my heaven looks like that.” Yes, it’s a long way from home and yes, it’s expensive. But seriously,…
