Sunset Sunday – Cádiz, Spain

Andalusia. It’s labeled essential Spain with good reason. The history, culture, and cuisine – all make for a fantastic trip. With the roots of Columbus in Seville, the tales of the Alhambra in Granada, and the historic bull fighting ring in Ronda, one can easily spend a week inside Andalusia. And if you enjoy eating, […]

Exploring the Cape of Good Hope

Exploring the Cape of Good Hope

The Cape of Good Hope might not be the beach one dreams about when imagining the idyllic with frozen drinks and palm trees.  For that, it might be more of a pacific island paradise, such as the Gili islands. Nonetheless, it’s clear blue water and landscape to provide a spectacular scene. Plus most all travelers […]

Wake Up to all Five Senses at the Desert Lily

It’s no secret I am not normally a morning person. It often requires special circumstances for me to wake before 9am. But if anything can alter my standard behavior it’s Mother Nature. And she did during my visit to Joshua Tree. During my travels to Joshua Tree National Park I enjoyed the desert scenery, the […]

Sunset Sunday – La Jolla, California

After a November on the left coast with adventures both north and south of the border, I wanted to spend my last afternoon taking in the sunset. So, before heading to the airport and the red-eye back to New York I stopped in La Jolla on the California coast. I set up a late lunch […]

Surf’s Up in the Land of Smiles – Thailand

On any journey, I always search for a place to surf. As I mentioned in last week’s Beach Thursday post, when I hear “beach,” I think ‘surf’ or ‘ocean.’  And when traveling to Asia, I knew about the beaches, but I didn’t know about the surf outside of Indonesia. I researched and discovered a beach […]

Sunset Sunday – Columbia, South Carolina

After five fun filled days loaded culinary delights, charming walks and a wild weekend of college football, my trip to South Carolina had just one more evening.  Earlier in the week, I watched a warming sunset from the Charleston waterfront and this night, I decided to see if I could find a sunset in Columbia. […]

The Pearlz inside South Carolina Oysters

The Pearlz inside South Carolina Oysters

After a ninety-minute bus tour of Charleston (available at the Visitors Bureau), I asked the very knowledgeable driver for dining recommendations. He provided a few. I sampled them, but I never had the chance to visit one- Pearlz Oyster Bar. I thought next time. Then when talking with John over my crab cake at the […]

A Slice of New York in Charleston

A Slice of New York in Charleston

On King Street a gentleman stated, “pizza by the slice.” I stopped. He extended his hand to give me a pamphlet. Puzzled, I thought was “by the slice” really a novelty or a selling point? I guess with the American restaurant scene becoming a “chain nation,” it’s true. A single slice might actually be hard […]
