On our third day on Bora Bora, we were picked up at the St. Regis dock by Will from Bora Bora Romantic Tours. I had scheduled a few weeks in advance a full day private tour on a motor boat that would take us around the entire lagoon with stops for snorkeling, feeding stingrays and… Continue reading Bora Bora Lagoon Tour and Private Island Champagne Lunch
We left Dallas on Friday evening and headed to LAX to catch our late night Air Tahiti flight to Papeete. Unfortunately, we flew coach and I have to say that Air Tahiti has probably the narrowest and most uncomfortable coach seats I have experienced in a really long time. The flight from LA is about… Continue reading Moorea, French Polynesia and the Sofitel Ia Orana Hotel
The concierge at the Auberge du Soleil hotel set up restaurant and winery reservations for us during our 3 day stay in Napa Valley. First, let’s take a peek at the wineries we visited. Our first reservation was for a winery tour and private tasting at Stag’s Leap Winery & Cellars which is located on… Continue reading Food & Wine in Napa Valley…and a little Scenery
Next week I will be traveling to Napa Valley for a 3 night stay with my mom. This was my Christmas present to her and the trip ended up being timely. Sadly, my grandmother (my mom’s mom) passed away just a few weeks ago so it will be so nice to have some good quality… Continue reading Napa Itinerary for Next Week
Steve and I did a quick weekend getaway to San Antonio, Texas and stayed at the new Hotel Emma, which I will review separately. Neither one of us had been to or stayed in downtown San Antonio for around 10 years and while much has stayed the same (the Alamo and the Riverwalk), a lot has… Continue reading San Antonio Weekend – Things to Do
I had to spend 3 nights in Las Vegas for a work conference at Caesar’s Palace. I’ve been to Vegas a few times and have visited Caesar’s but have never stayed there. Let me say that I was NOT happy with the room I received, which I am pretty sure was the worst room in… Continue reading Quick Vegas Trip
Thinking back over 2016, I realized that I had eaten several good meals while traveling (and a few bad ones) and thought I’d share a few of the ones that came to mind. The picture on the heading is actually of the BBQ shrimp entree at Mr. B’s Bistro in New Orleans – we didn’t… Continue reading Favorite Meals of 2016
Since we rented a small house, we actually did quite a bit of cooking at home during this trip. We were there over New Years and my husband and I both hate going out to eat on New Years Eve – the service is usually rushed and impersonal, the menus are often pre-set or pre-fixe… Continue reading Eating in Sonoma, CA – Our top Two Favorites
We ate at many, many places in Antigua and had some really great meals. Food on Antigua ranges from French bistros to pizza places to casual beach bars with Caribbean food staples like jerk chicken, conch fritters and fresh fish. Below are a smattering of some of our favorite restaurants we at during the week.… Continue reading Eating in Antigua – Our Favorites
Note that this post is not about favorite restaurants or even what I consider the “best” meal or dish that I have ever eaten while traveling. Some of my favorite and most memorable meals were due to the overall experience, including the view, the food, the people, the location, my travel companion (usually Steve) and… Continue reading Favorite Travel Dining Experiences
