Summer Travel Update
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my website! The spring and summer was a busy season of travel — a whirlwind couple of months with visits to Moab, Utah and Austin in April, Puerto Rico and Toronto in May, and Murphys, California; Oahu, Hawaii; and Bellingham, Washington in June! That was followed by a little [...]
Murphys: Hidden California Gem
A road trip to Murphys, California was launched the adventures in June. “Where?” you ask. Exactly. Off-the-beaten path at its finest. Located about 2.5 hours east of San Francisco at the foothills of the Sierras, Murphys is a tiny little town with a whole lotta awesomeness. From the gourmet food to the fantastic small-production wines [...]
Urban Adventures in Toronto
Toronto was like coming home. It was the first place I ever traveled to when I was six months old to visit my Canadian family. And it’s been the one city I’ve visited at least once every year or two ever since. But most of my time in Toronto was always with family, so while [...]
Puerto Rico: from the beauty to the beast
My birthday month of May kicked off in Puerto Rico with a rollicking week of adventure with the highlight being zip lining the world’s highest and second longest – The Beast! Part of Puerto Rico’s Toro Verde adventure haven, the Beast is in a category all its own, going head first, stomach to the ground [...]
A perfect weekend in Austin
While I had to make a pilgrimage to some old standards (Salt Lick barbecue, anyone?) and got to visit with dear friends, I also experienced some new places that can be added to my ever-growing list of must-do’s in Austin, such as La Condesa (lacondesaaustin.com). Home to the orgasmic El Cubico margarita (whole leaf tobacco-infused [...]
Adventures in Moab
April began with a few incredible days in Moab, Utah. This gorgeous Southern Utah gem is full of outdoorsy adventure, my favorite of which was canyoneering, rappelling down 120-foot cliffs of gorgeous red rocks. Whether jeeping or mountain biking, the breathtaking landscapes are as good as it gets! This was also my first visit to [...]
Exploring Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula: Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Chichén Itzá, Tulum, and Cobá
A recent trip to Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula was heavenly. The time of year was perfect to visit – hot, yes, but not yet so humid or buggy that it was uncomfortable. I had been to Cozumel and Cancun previously, but never to the Riviera Maya or the various Mayan ruins around the peninsula. They were [...]
Scottsdale, Arizona: From cowboy to couture
Being a fan of the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon state, I was excited to explore one of the cities I’d never visited: Scottsdale. I was impressed with the diversity of outdoor activities, great restaurants, and beautiful desert landscapes. But what stood out most to me was the spa culture! From the luxury and [...]
Winter in Yosemite National Park
I was recently in Yosemite National Park. It had been years since I’d visited. In fact, I can pinpoint it exactly to a school trip in the fall of 7th grade. While the simple majesty of the park hadn’t changed from what I remember, seeing Yosemite in her winter glory took the experience up a [...]
The Best of Green: St. Patty’s Day Travel Photo Tribute
The holiday of green shamrocks and leprechauns is upon us. To celebrate and get in the green spirit, here are some of my favorite recent GREEN photos!
A Shoulda Woulda Valentine’s Day
Two days ago, upon seeing photos of the snow and mountains on the Facebook wall of my friend and business partner, Pamela Sorensen, I got online and started checking flights. She was in Aspen, one of the few Colorado ski resorts I haven’t visited, staying at a beautiful luxury resort, The Little Nell, with her [...]
When in Israel… eat as the Israelis do?
One of the things I found most interesting about Israel was the food. Every hotel MUST have Kosher options. Every single one. I certainly don’t know of a place anywhere else in the world where this is the case, do you? Can you imagine if every hotel in a certain country had to provide Vegan [...]
First Roadtrip of 2012
Not everyone loves road trips. I happen to NOT be one of them. I absolutely love them. The open road. The unexpected. The simple joys along the way that you miss if you fly into the metropolitan core of a city. And if you’re with a companion, there’s the reminiscing of prior years’ adventures and [...]
The New Religion in Israel: Adventure
My December trip to Israel proved one thing: the Holy Land is no longer just a place to pray, but also a place to play! It was my first visit, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the wealth of history in Jerusalem and the trendy, hip, fun vibe of Tel Aviv, what captivated me most was [...]
