Volunteering to assist at the “meet plan go” event held in New York City last September I met many people looking to take a career break. I really enjoyed providing them with needed encouragement. Then when networking myself,  I met other career breakers who actually encouraged me. Marie was part of the panel of career […]

An Afternoon at Nest Key

An Afternoon at Nest Key

by on February 10, 2011 in Beach, Destination, National Park Travel

When you think of the National Park Service, you rarely think of a beach. Yellow Stone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon come to mind. Yet, I grew up visiting a National Seashore – Sailor´s Haven, Fire Island. It is part of the National Park Service, but not a ‘Park.’ Semantics? Maybe, but I did find […]

This year, I am not heading to Philadelphia for the event, but my college friends will once again take in the wing bowl from the luxury box. I attended twice, and I wrote the story below a few years ago (Jan 2009) attempting to explain exactly what is the wing bowl. Enjoy: For most of […]

Sunset Sunday – Cádiz, Spain

by on January 30, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

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

by on January 27, 2011 in Beach, Destination

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 […]
