The title is slightly misleading. Technically France did not ruin the Bachelor franchise. France only ruined my ability to recap the current(ly ending tonight) season of Bachelor. Unclear? My suggestion: grab a nice bottle of bordeaux (St. Emilion, perhaps?) and attempt to follow me. The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have been more impactful in my life ...
While many restaurants can boast a decent sunset view, it would be near impossible to rival the horizon provided by Sunset da Mona Lisa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Carved into the side of a cliff, every table on the Sunset da Mona Lisa terraces is prime seating to watch the sun sink behind mountains cradling the ...
Next week I'll start sharing tales from Cabo, Mexico. In the meantime, I'm tempting your tastebuds with a selection of photos from the trip. Consider this a trailer for coming attractions! Coming soon!
If you're heading to the Florida Keys - any one of them - you must make time for at least one meal at either Square Grouper Bar and Grill or My New Joint Lounge on Cudjoe Key. Friends had raved about Square Grouper, at length, and it was the intended dinner destination after our first full day in ...
Although the most well-known of the Florida Keys is Key West, there are many (many) more islands that string off the southern tip of Florida. A recent trip involved stops at several different keys and accommodations on Cudjoe Key (just 20 miles north of Key West). We stayed in a rental home called Gregily Key. Newly renovated and redecorated, ...
On the second full day in Key West, Florida, we visited the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory. Located directly on the main drag (Duval Street), the facade of the Conservatory is deceptive. Appearing like many of the historic homes on the island, the front of the building features two story columns and a second-story porch. ...
Our first day trip into Key West began with an obligatory visit to the Southernmost Point of the United States. The giant "buoy" is concrete and anchored into the ground at the corners of South and Whitehead Streets. In an often overlooked technicality, there are a couple geographical spots further south than the iconic buoy, but they are ...
Allow me to whet your appetite for future Key posts with these teaser pictures. Welcome to the Florida Keys! From fantastical fountains on private estates... ...to unlimited public seas for swimming, snorkeling, cruising and kayaking. The Keys are full of historic architecture, nautical novelties and nature side by side in harmony... ...and unique displays of art everywhere you turn. When you're traveling a string ...
In one of last week's posts, I mentioned that there had been some recent last-minute travel. Unfortunately, it was not a pleasure trip, as it was triggered by the passing of my grandmother. Still attempting to sort out and handle my emotions, I am not yet able to appropriately share what a wonderful, amazing, loving woman ...
This past weekend I was lucky enough to attend a Girls Weekend on the beach with a few of my closest friends. Although technically a Staycation, it still felt like a vacation. And sometimes that's difficult when you already live in a place that most people think of as a vacation destination. There's a possibility that ...
