Except in France, it’s just called onion soup. It’s no secret we love to eat, so I always try to find a few regional specific recipes and bring them home to our dinner table. I knew when we were sitting in Nice, sipping Rosè and the most stunning bowl of cheesy soup arrived, that I…

Review: Turkish Airlines Business Class
Long haul=big pain. But it doesn’t have to be. When the word “Greece” came up, I knew come hell or high water I was going to be in Business Class. You may remember my review of United’s Business Class flight from London Heathrow to Houston which changed my long-haul world. I did a lot of…
costa rica.
The Westin Playa Conchal. Even the name sounds exotic. As the Westin’s first all-inclusive resort, I didn’t know what to expect when we booked this vacation through United Vacations. I’m always comfortable with SPG properties and knew that this newly renovated resort would likely live up to the rave reviews. And, I can handle anything…
10 on tuesday– vineyards
I am routinely asked what my favorite vineyards are in The Napa Valley. While every vineyard has something to offer, whether it be the wine, the experience, the view or the food, here’s what I recommend (in no particular order): 1. Round Pond Amazing Cab and even better Sauvignon Blanc. The Round Pond winery is…

I went back and forth with what weekend we should go to the Napa Valley this year for harvest season. In the midst of all the pondering, Sue got an email from Fisher Vineyards about their Traverse the Terroir party AND an even bigger draw: A dinner with Casey Thompson from Top Chef. Two parties…
food, food, glorious food.
When travelers hear “cruise ship” they automatically think: buffet. I know I always have. Our ship’s cuisine was so different than your run of the mill cruise food. Yes, PG does have a buffet. No, it’s not one of those stereotypical crusty meatloaf kind of events. So last year, we were pleasantly surprised to find…
new orleans: better than ever.
If you ever have the opportunity, head to New Orleans for St. Patrick’s Day. I most certainly was not prepared for all that New Orleans delivered during St. Patrick’s Day weekend. I figured young Tulane co-eds would don their “Irish I had a Beer” t-shirts and weave drunkenly through the people on Bourbon Street- – and…
business first= bliss.
I was heckled. Down right chastised. All for considering upgrading out 10.5 hour flight from Heathrow to Houston. Are you kidding… 20,000 miles and $500 per person? Silly girl, you could do so much with that. Oh really, randomly abrasive party go-er… Pretty sure they were my miles and my money. So the verbal lashing (that lasted…
