Yes, you guessed it. We’re going to Vegas. AGAIN. But this time is a little different than our traditional pilgrimage. You see, I have this friend. Her name is Lise. Lise and I grew up together in the same neighborhood, same schools, and were proud members of the Briar Flyers swim team. I’m fairly certain we…

24 hours in london.
I don’t know how we ended up with only 24 hours in one of the most famous cities in the world. I guess we had too much fun everywhere else, and that is what we were left with. Either way, D and I made the best of our time in London with our new friends,…
avia napa.
What a beautiful addition to downtown Napa, California. The Avia Hotel opened in July of 2009 and has been a staple in wine country ever since. In a land where the boutique hotel reigns supreme, this small chain of hotels delivers chic comfort, affordability and a location that can’t be beat. The room choices range…
le meridien tahiti.
I was a little scared the first time we went to Tahiti. Staying only 1 night on the main island, I wanted a nice, clean and safe location before our cruise. My travel touch stone, Trip Advisor, didn’t always have the best things to say about The Le Meridien or The Intercontinental in Papeete, Tahiti….
wine road weekend.
If you’ve never been to Napa Valley or Sonoma before (or even if you have), Wine Road Weekend is the perfect time to visit. Last year Dan and I joined our friend, Katharine, in the valley for some barrel tasting. The weather was perfection, and getting to hop from winery to winery was a blast….
arctic tundra.
I shiver just thinking about it. Chicago. Barring being on a ski lift in the middle of January in Breckenridge, it’s definitely the coldest place on Earth. Well, at least the weekend I went it was. *disclaimer* please excuse the crappy pictures on this post. My core temperature and thus my sanity were a priority over pictures….
pay attention at the muster.
I’ve laughed, drank and played through the muster drill. I certainly won’t anymore. Thirteen times to be exact. Cruising is one of the main pleasures of my life– the feeling of being surrounded by the deep blue sea is one of the most freeing feelings to me. Amazing food, exotic locations, think-less daily travel… all exhilarating. At least…
henley vs. the americans.
Yes. We speak funny. And yes, we drink Pimm’s in the winter. Our dear friends Katharine and Saad are lucky enough to live in the charming little town of Henley on Thames in the UK. While on our whirlwind vacation at the beginning of the year, we were hosted by our besties at their amazing house in…
say it ain’t snow.
So far Chicago and I aren’t friends. As D’s birthday quickly approaches, my flight to Chicago today was cancelled. I have been planning to meet him in Chicago, as he has been there for work all week. The plan was fool proof… 2 nights, deep dish pizza, the bean (or whatever it’s called), all making…
