For our November 2019 trip, we started in Rome as that is the easiest city to fly into from Dallas (we had to do a short layover in Philadelphia). Also, my mother-in-law had never been to Italy so we thought she may want to see The Eternal City. We stayed for three nights in a… Continue reading Three Days in Rome
I fell off the map for awhile! Ever since we took this trip to Italy in November, things got crazy busy. We dealt with the holidays (and a quick Xmas trip back to Dallas to see my parents), then sold our house in Dallas and had to be out of it completely in less than… Continue reading Wine Tasting and Touring in Southern Tuscany
Steve and I are still pushing forward with our plan to keep doing some big “bucket list” trips while we can. About 1.5 years ago we decided we should increase our travel budget significantly, at least for a few years, and do some big trips that we kept putting on the back burner due to… Continue reading Trip Plans for 2019….
With a trip to Paris and the French Riviera coming up in less than one month, this linkup topic is very well timed! I guess I consider every vacation to have some element of romance to it. My husband and I work a lot so getting to disconnect and spend quality time together without the… Continue reading Most Romantic Destinations
I think what people consider “luxury” versus “normal” or even “budget friendly” when it comes to travel is all in the eye of the beholder. To me, saying that something is a “luxury” item when it comes to travel really means that (i) it’s a bit more money than I would normally spend to eat,… Continue reading My Definition of Luxury Travel
In 2018, Steve and I are planning to do something that we haven’t done in over 15 years – take off 2 consecutive weeks for vacation. Steve and I each get 4 weeks of vacation but we have never taken off more than 7 consecutive work days for vacation since 2001 when I passed the… Continue reading Possible Two Week Itineraries
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
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
I had read that Capri was very touristy and that most people just come for a day trip so I was worried that spending two full days and nights there would be too much. I was so wrong – I could have stayed for a week on Capri and been happy. It was actually my… Continue reading Capri Day Two
We took the mid-morning ferry from Positano to Capri. A few notes about the ferries – the ferry between Positano and Capri does not run year-round. It starts running in early April and ends around late October or early November. If you visit in off-season, you will have to take a taxi to Sorrento and… Continue reading A Day in Capri
