On our last day in Nice, we had a private all-day tour with our guide, Franck Balbi, who took us out into the countryside. The day was completely customizable and we told Franck that we wanted to see a picturesque village and to do some wine tastings to try the local wines. He picked us… Continue reading Day Trip to Provence
We saved our big gastronomic highlight for the French Riviera. We picked the restaurant at La Chevre d’Or, which is a 5 star boutique hotel and has a 2-star Michelin restaurant as well. The Chevre d’Or is located in the village of Eze, which is about 20 minutes east of Nice and is on the… Continue reading Lunch at La Chevre d’Or and the Village of Eze
After two nights in Paris, we took a morning flight from Orly airport to Nice on Air France. One thing I will note is that Orly is a pretty crummy airport – outdated, small, crowded and very warm inside. We were so glad to get on the Air France flight which was great and only… Continue reading Exploring Nice, France
We had some great meals during our short stay in Paris. Our first night we had a reservation at Bistrot d’Henri which was about a 5 minute walk from our hotel in the 5th arrondissement. I booked it because I knew we would be tired from the long flight and wanted something close to our… Continue reading Eating in Paris

My husband and I work a lot so getting to disconnect and spend quality time together without the… Continue reading Most Romantic Destinations
It is definitely the dog days of summer here in Texas. Here is a snapshot of our current forecast this week and you can see that we are living on the face of the sun. I HATE Texas in the summer. It’s just too damn hot. Or to put it another way: Steve and I… Continue reading Staycation at the Four Seasons, Dallas
Santa Fe is definitely a foodie town so don’t think it’s going to be cheesy Tex-Mex everywhere you go. After 7 trips here, I have tried most of the popular fine dining and casual spots in town so here are my favorites in each category. Plus, some silly pictures of me and my cousin having… Continue reading Where to Eat in Santa Fe
Every time I travel to Santa Fe, I always plan a spa visit to Ten Thousand Waves, which is probably my favorite day spa in the U.S. It’s located in the hills above Santa Fe on the way to the ski valley and is a peaceful retreat that is modeled as a Japanese onsen. It’s… Continue reading Ten Thousand Waves Spa, Santa Fe, NM
I just returned from a quick weekend in Santa Fe with my cousin and am now back in the 100+ degree heat of Texas. Boo-hoo. Our main reason for visiting Santa Fe this weekend was to check out the Meow Wolf art exhibit, which is definitely one of the weirdest art shows in the U.S. … Continue reading Meow Wolf Art Exhibit in Santa Fe, NM
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
