I don’t often think of Brickell as a destination in Miami, but I know the Four Seasons is a destination wherever they are located. And actually, I’d […]

Jamaica: The Beat of the Caribbean

Jamaica: The Beat of the Caribbean

by on July 26, 2013 in Destination, Guest Post

There’s no doubt that Jamaica stands apart from other Caribbean vacation spots. A strong African heritage remains today, in the cuisine, native identity and perhaps most strikingly, in the music.

Postcard-Mexico’s Golden Treasure

Mexico offers many treasures to its visitors. The list is endless. But one of its true golden treasures remains accessible to all- the corn tortilla. On a morning walk through the “pueblo magico” (magic town) Creel in Chihuahua I stumbled upon a Maseca; a place where corn tortillas are made early in the morning (usually […]

The restaurant adjacent to the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park, the largest inland naval park in the U.S, in the canalside district provided both outdoor and indoor seating for dinner. I chose indoors (available), placed my order, and then quickly headed outdoors with […]
