“D,” my Dad said to me as I drove down Las Vegas Blvd. back in late February. “Where are you thinking of going to visit next?” “I don’t know, Dad,” I said. And, that was the truth. I had no idea. For as long as I had been back in America, I hadn’t really thoughtContinue reading “Why I’m traveling to Thailand”

Escape of the Week: Juxtaposition in Sarajevo

The Bacon Bloody Mary Love Letter
Dear Bacon Bloody Mary, I had never fathomed such a lovely start to a morning until a recent and gorgeous July Sunday in Napa Valley. “Here,” Kristin had said when we discussed our post-winery breakfast between she, Abby and I. “The Boon Fly Cafe.” She read some reviews, and the three of us were offContinue reading “The Bacon Bloody Mary Love Letter”

Photo Essay: Napa Valley
This wasn’t really one of those take-heaps-and-heaps-of-photos-trips (and no, it’s not because I was all glassy-eyed drunky in Napa … cause I wasn’t … for realsies).

Sleeping in Napa Valley
The first time I visited Napa, over President’s Day Weekend in 2008, I became enamored. The lush, green rolling hills. The yellow blossoms of mustard carpeting the ground not occupied by vineyards. The gorgeous and grandeous wineries. The trailer wineries. The Napa area immediately captured me and held my interest well beyond the days IContinue reading “Sleeping in Napa Valley”
Escape of the Week: Sunny Beach, Bulgaria
It has been just about one year since Abby and I bounced around Istanbul and Bulgaria together. Poor Abby saw the worst of me during this time — I was in the full clutches of Travel Fatigue, mixed with being sick. We didn’t really have any set plans other than meeting in Istanbul. From there,Continue reading “Escape of the Week: Sunny Beach, Bulgaria”
