Ask anyone that has been to multiple islands and you’ll get different answers as it all depends on what your priorities are for a great beach. Is it just about how blue and clear the water is or must it be completely devoid of other people? Do you require a fun beach bar where you… Continue reading Where’s the Best Beach in the Caribbean?
A year ago I spent a weekend in Washington, D.C. with a great friend of mine for a fun (yet educational) girls’ weekend trip. We flew into D.C. on Friday morning and came back late Sunday afternoon but we were able to pack a lot into such a short time. Strangely enough, I had never… Continue reading Girls Weekend in Washington D.C.
My husband and I spent a long weekend in Austin to attend the college football season opening game of University of TX v. Notre Dame. Stephen and I went to UT for college back in the 1990’s, which is where we met, and I also attended UT for law school. We lived in Austin for about 8… Continue reading Austin, TX – Live Music Capital of the World and Home of the UT Longhorns
After our three days in Essaouria, our same driver was back to pick us up and return us to Marrakech for another 2 nights. This time we opted to stay outside the Medina at a posh resort hotel. I was highly tempted to stay at The Four Seasons Marrakech but then I read about The… Continue reading Hotel Selman – Marrakech
During our stay in Marrakech, we walked outside the Medina to visit the Majorelle Gardens. The property used to belong to designer Yves St. Laurent who purchased it in 1980 and restored the gardens to their former glory. He visited the home off and on until his death in 2008 and his ashes were scattered in… Continue reading Colors of Morroco and the Majorelle Gardens
We had a private driver take us three hours west to the coastal town of Essaouria (pronounced Eh-swear-uh) for our next three nights. It is another walled city that sits on the Atlantic and is known as a current filming site for Game of Thrones and is also where they filmed the 1940’s version of… Continue reading Essaouria, Morocco
In 2014 we spent a week in Morocco, visiting Marrakech near the Atlas Mountains and Essaouria on the Atlantic Coast. I had mixed emotions prior to visiting Morocco as I was nervous about visiting a Muslim country and wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of food and cleanliness. Would I need to cover my… Continue reading Marrakech, Morocco – Riad Kniza and Days 1-3
Steve and visit the Caribbean a lot. Living in Texas means it’s fairly easy for us to get from Dallas to the Caribbean in a matter of hours by flying through Miami or Puerto Rico. There are also direct flights from Dallas to Jamaica, Turks & Caicos and I believe a few direct flights to… Continue reading Climbing Gros Piton in St. Lucia…Never Again. Never.
A few years ago, my Christmas present to Steve was a surprise weekend to Santa Barbara where we stayed at the Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel. The Four Seasons Santa Barbara is a stunning hotel but we had rented a car and decided to drive 45 minutes north to visit the Santa Ynez wine valley during one… Continue reading Santa Barbara, CA Wine Country
A few months ago I went to New York for a work conference and was traveling alone. My last evening in New York, I did a little shopping on 5th Avenue after the conference was over and was walking around with all my shopping bags looking for a place to eat dinner. I then walked… Continue reading Dinner at Le Bernardin in NYC
