Last week Steve and I traveled to Oregon for vacation. We spent our first three days on the Northern Oregon Coast at Cannon Beach, which is about a 2.5 hour drive west from Portland. I’ll post a review about the hotel we stayed at on Cannon Beach separately (spoiler alert – we LOVED our hotel)… Continue reading Things to do in Cannon Beach, Oregon
A week ago I decided that I needed a little time to myself. I have an upcoming summertime lull in my work schedule for the first time in almost two years and I have been hard charging for awhile now. Between the daily office grind and a 2 to 3 hour commute in hellish traffic… Continue reading Solo Travel – Rocky Mountain High
We are back from a wonderful 4 night stay in Las Vegas. Yes, it was hot but we did exactly what we had planned to do – hung out by the pool, ate a little too much good food, drank a few too many cocktails, walked the Strip, went to the spa and generally relaxed.… Continue reading Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas
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
I just returned from an incredible 3 day stay in Napa Valley with my mom. We hung our hats at the gorgeous and luxurious Auberge du Soleil Hotel in the middle of Napa Valley. The hotel is located in Rutherford just off of the Silverado Trail and is up on a hill so it has… Continue reading Hotel Love – The Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley
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
If I could sum up Hotel Emma in one word, it would be “cool.” If I had 3 words, it would be “industrial chic design.” Hotel Emma opened in San Antonio’s Pearl District about 6 months ago in mid-2016 so it’s pretty new by anyone’s standards. The Hotel is located in the old Pearl Brewery… Continue reading Review – Hotel Emma, San Antonio
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
My dad is an accountant so I grew up constantly being told “money doesn’t grow on trees” and “turn the lights off – we aren’t the electric company around here.” Needless to say, I grew up with an appreciation for the value of a dollar and when we travel, I tend to book a mix… Continue reading My Favorite Hotels to Date – Luxury to Budget
It happens. Sometimes your best laid plans go awry, places disappoint, you lose something important, the weather stinks or you get sick while on vacation. Steve and I have been pretty fortunate on most of our trips and other than your usual travel delays, late arrivals and annoying time spent waiting in long lines for… Continue reading I Wanna Go Home – Bad Trips
