Well, things have certainly taken an unexpected turn the last few weeks. Last November when we were marveling at the gorgeous Tuscan scenery, I never could have imagined that all of Italy and a good chunk of Europe would be completely closed off from the rest of the world while they combated an invisible enemy… Continue reading Village of Montepulciano, Tuscany
While we had some nice meals in Rome, I can easily say that Tuscany had the best food of the trip and that includes our meals in Florence and in the countryside. The food in Tuscany was definitely heavier with a focus on pastas with meat sauces, ragus, massive bone-in steaks and braised meat and… Continue reading Eating in Tuscany and Dinner at La Grotta Restaurant in Montepulciano
After three days in the Tuscan countryside, our driver from Andiamo! Tours picked us up in Montepulciano and drove us 2 hours to Florence. We got a glimpse of Siena along the drive but didn’t have time to stop and it was also pouring rain so no one was up for it anyway. We stayed… Continue reading Sightseeing in Florence, Italy
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
It’s been a crazy few weeks but we are finally feeling settled here in South Florida. We’re in a rental house for right now and are patiently waiting for someone to buy our home in Dallas so we can start looking for our forever home here in the Palm Beach area. We took 2.5 days… Continue reading Road Trip to Florida
I’ve been really quiet lately and that’s because I have been swamped getting ready for our big move. My husband and I have both accepted new jobs and we are relocating from Texas to West Palm Beach in sunny Southern Florida. He and I have both lived in Texas our entire lives but we have… Continue reading We’re Moving to Florida!
For Labor Day weekend, my husband and I spent three days in New York City. Having been to NYC a few times, we knew we were going to skip the major tourist sites like the Empire State Building, major museums, Statue of Liberty, etc…as we have done them before. This trip we wanted to relax… Continue reading New York Weekend and My Favorite Meals (Including Best Pizza Ever)
(Disclaimer: I did NOT win $1,028 in Vegas – my sister did and she doesn’t share). I recently asked a travel blogger (who will remain anonymous) about how much they actually save for retirement and their long term financial goals during an “ask me anything” session on their Instagram. I find it interesting how so… Continue reading How do you decide which bloggers to follow and which ones are just hustlers?
Steve and I did a quick 3-day weekend to Mexico over the July 4th holiday. As usual, we spent it at our favorite hotel in the area, the Viceroy. We love this hotel because it’s about 30-40 minutes south of Cancun in a quiet area and the hotel is also adults only so it’s always… Continue reading Quick Weekend Getaway to Riviera Maya
On our last full day/night in Iceland, we headed back towards Reykavik to spend our final afternoon and evening by the famous (or perhaps infamous) Blue Lagoon. We stayed at the Silica Hotel which is right next door to the Blue Lagoon and is about a 5-8 minute walk from the main entrance. I give… Continue reading The Blue Lagoon – My Least Favorite Thing in Iceland
