A seaport town that I couldn’t pinpoint on a map, let alone did I expect to visit. That is, until we were invited to attend a wedding in this charming town last weekend. D has always talked about Rhode Island as the home state of his parents and extended family, but beyond that, I didn’t…

Hotel Review: Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman
Grand Cayman. Anyone who knows me, knows that direct flights and turquoise water drive my decision making process.

Review: Turkish Airlines Business Class

it’s a dream.

We booked the Dreamliner to Chicago a few weeks ago for a quick weekend trip to beat the heat in Houston. I know people…
