Welcome to the blog

Quick question – Where do you take a group of travelers that includes a Gen Z’r, an Xennial, two members of Generation X and a Baby Boomer?  We wanted a special birthday celebration for the world’s most youthful grandfather, someplace with adventure (but relaxing), exquisite food (but with local flavor), and a focus on sustainable […]

Would you judge me if I admitted to being a little nervous about going to stay at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya? As a seller of luxury travel, and a lover of the finer things in life, and (admittedly) a self-described hotel snob, as the day of our departure for this all inclusive resort grew […]

Did you ever look at water so crystalline that you’re pretty sure when you look away the color of your eyes will have absorbed it and changed to blue? I was lucky enough to spend this weekend in the Turks & Caicos Islands.  There are so many ways to enjoy staying at this amazing destination […]

We landed in Nashville at 7 PM on Independence Day – as we rode the quick ten minute drive from the airport to our hotel (The Thompson – HIGHLY recommend!) we saw evidence of just how deeply the south feels about our country.  And once we got to the rooftop deck of the Thompson, with […]

We started (as one should) by learning a little about the heartbreaking history and important, lasting lessons of apartheid in Johannesburg, continued on to be amazed by the boho-artisan waterfront chic of Capetown, traveled down to the southernmost tip of the continent for a […]

Sitting at my desk having just returned from the MOST outstanding family trip to Italy in the history of all family vacations.  Seriously – it. was. epic.  And a blog on that will follow. But in the tiny window between our trip to Unico 2087 in Riviera Maya and the amazing Adventures by Disney Viva […]

The aesthetic and decor are like an adult playground fell in love with a Restoration Hardware catalogue.

It’s an occupational hazard, I suppose.  Every once in a while I book a trip that haunts me, that sticks with me, that creates a massive wanderlust in my soul for a specific destination. The first time it happened was with a couple’s anniversary trip to Greece.  Shortly thereafter, a family cruise to Alaska.   And […]

My husband and I visited Belize a little more than a decade ago. We stayed in the middle of the rainforest in a thatched hut where iguanas poked their heads through the ceiling and monkeys hung out in our open air bathroom. We also stayed in Placencia and ate fish that was so fresh we […]
