TRAVEL
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
In case you missed it…our MOST-VIEWED Instagram of the week. SO, this year with all of it’s just plain “awful-ness”, we decided the fam was in need of some POSITIVE vibes! What could be better than getting our fam together in Vail for a few weeks? So, I’m sharing some of our fave moments and…
I’M A TRAVEL ADDICT ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY…
WELL, it’s finally happening…… do you remember that a thing where you drive to the airport and then get on something silver (painted) with seats and actually GO somewhere??!!!! I feel as though it’s been years since we escaped town and traveled! We were out to dinner with family last evening and were laughing about…
LIVING THE SUITE LIFE…
If you’ve been a friend for a while, it’s NO mystery that we love luxury hotels. Nothing makes me feel better after a long flight than to walk into the serene lobby of a great hotel (or, to see the “Bar Man” approaching with an icy-cold Cosmo). Even in the busiest of times there is a quiet,…
WANDER OR WONDER?
Are we going to be able to resume our “normal” travel schedules? Right now, there are an incredible number of low-cost and mileage opportunities available. Fares are relatively low and the ability to use miles for premium seats and upgrades are plentiful. Yet, many of us are reluctant to take the plunge whether it is…
THE GREAT ESCAPE…
Okay, the escape to Vail was an easy and quick decision…..it’s normally about 15 degrees cooler than the city and we were looking forward to a little sun and golf (without sweating in 98 degree weather). The reality of the situation……we enjoyed a couple of partly-cloudy days in Vail and then woke up on Monday…
STIR-CRAZY AND ESCAPING!
THE COVID-INDUCED ROAD TRIP! Roughly 2 months into this quarantine business and I am going stir-crazy. I have read so many books – some twice, completed my studies on Nutrition and Plant-Based Eating at Cornell, cooked waaaayyyyy too many new recipes and am learning a new language – Buon Giorno. The highlights of my day…
PICK FIVE!
While in Vail this week, I happened upon an article that turned into two days worth of conversation and humor! I agree…it doesn’t happen often…. So, I thought I’d share it….you may have seen it on our Instagram feed. Pick 5 of the qualities that best describe you. WISDOM PLEASURE SOCIAL SECURITY RESPONSIBILITY POWER WEALTH…
Virtual Trip to Angor Wat …
Angkor Wat, one of the wonders of the world, is located in Cambodia near the city of Siem Reap. It is a must see place for anyone visiting Southeast Asia. The site is the largest religious monument in the world. Built in the 12th century by the Khmer Empire, it was originally a Hindu Temple…
WHAT I LEARNED DURING QUARANTINE. . .
This crazy, upside down experience we are calling “Quarantine” has provided some interesting lessons for all of us. Here is what I’ve learned regarding any trips/flights/hotel reservations that were made early in the year – before the big “C.” You know, when life was simple and you could simply leave your home without wearing gloves…
Virtual Travel – DAY FOUR …
I am absolutely in love with Paris……the lights, the sidewalk cafes and the ever-changing and growing Arrondisements (neighborhoods) surrounding the city. I believe that the only way to really see Paris is on foot. You can wander for hours through Marais (a rapidly-growing, super trendy area) and visit it’s tiny shops…..have icy Champagne and Caviar…
