Things I Love, Wining/Dining

  Lest anyone think that California doesn’t have extremely diverse weather conditions, think about this: When the hubby and I set out on a week-long CA road trip from Studio City on a fine July day, the route was via Santa Barbara for lunch, then through Lompoc to Pismo Beach along the coast, back to […]

Things I Love

So if you can’t find the hubby and me at some point, check this spectacular hotel first. Indeed, I declared […]

International Travel, Things I Love, Wining/Dining

Would you agree with me that the value of time spent on vacation is priceless? I’m thinking you do. Few people would want to miss a thing.

International Travel, Things You Should Know

“I think we’re landing in Zambia! I didn’t know we were going there!!” And that was the entry to stop #5 on our African holiday (click here for previous). I knew the airport destination was called Livingstone (as in “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”), but the Zambian part was a surprise. It was a very short and somewhat […]
