I’m a frequent flier miles whore. I admit it. Although, not as much as some of my friends– Justin and Xenia, I’m talking to you. So I thought I’d share a little tip. I received an email from United this morning about their award miles being on sale during the next two days for 40% off. Seeing…

i am NOT a crier.
So you can imagine my shock last year when we left the Paul Gauguin and I was sobbing like a toddler who didn’t get candy at the check-out counter. At the time, I attributed this sentimental breakdown as too much Sauvignon Blanc at the farewell lunch. I quietly hid behind my Jackie-O shades blubbering, while…
tahiti in pictures– part 2.
As promised, here are the rest of our vacation pictures. These are from Motu Mahana, Paul Gauguin’s private island, Tetiaroa, Moorea and Papeete. Enjoy! Motu Mahana. Tetiaroa (Marlon Brando’s Island) Moorea Papeete.
tahiti in pictures- part 1.
I haven’t yet composed my thoughts. Where do you even begin to tell about such an incredible trip? They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I guess I’ll start with that… Here are some more images from Bora Bora, Fakarava, Rangiroa and Huahine. I’ll post part 2 on Monday with our pictures…
tahitian sneak peek.
D and I are finally home from our beloved Tahiti. And while I did come back relaxed and a nice shade of bronze, I also came back sick. I’m pretty sure spending 18 hours of travel time behind the “iron curtain” (i.e. first class), has something to do with my incessant hacking. I may have Moorea’s…

I’m giddy with excitement– seriously, I’m bordering on 6 year old the night before Christmas kind of excitement. My co-workers ask me when I leave and I have to stiffle a shrill of elation. Finally, after planning, and booking, and paying and day-dreaming, our Tahitian vacation is here. Mañana. Tomorrow. If you are unfamiliar with my…

I’ve been putting this post off for a while– mainly because it’s my 100th!!! Nothing seemed quite right as far as a proper celebration of my centennial post. Honestly, I never thought I would get to 100 this time last year. And not only that, but almost 7,000 readers ain’t half bad either. I cannot…
meet pablo.
It’s officially wedding week! I’m pumped. But before I go into detail about our upcoming trip, I’d like you to meet Pablo, better known to most of the world as Paul. I don’t have an adolescent memory that doesn’t include Paul. The details as to how we became great friends routinely escape my memory, but…
barnett vineyards.
One of the ways I am able to find great places when traveling is by word of mouth. The last time we went to Napa Valley, we made friends with a guy at Fisher Vineyards. Scotti, a fellow Texan, suggested we try Barnett Vineyards on our next trip for a special experience. Barnett is an…
