U.S. Travel, Wining/Dining

When the opportunity arose to spend my birthday weekend with long-time Houston-based friends Kay & Fred Zeidman, the decision didn’t require much thought. Spending time with them is always a blast (Cancun, Colorado Springs, Palm Beach, Austin and DC among past destinations), but going to their home base allowed for time spent with their kids […]

Wining/Dining

Was scheduling a dinner in December at The Grove, one of LA’s busiest open-air shopping/dining malls, the brightest idea? Probably not.

Happily, dinner at 189 by Dominque Ansel was well worth […]

The second is the restaurant Jean-Georges, which the hubby and I have enjoyed on numerous occasions in NY and thus selected the new […]

Things I Love, Wining/Dining

Baseball — specifically visiting new parks — is the ONLY reason to go to Atlanta & Miami in June, at least for me and the hubby who are humidity adverse to say the least. But one must go when one can, and this relatively short jaunt fit our calendar. In addition to exploring local […]

International Travel, Wining/Dining

When one is already in an area of the world (in this case, the Indian Ocean southwest of India), adding on another segment in the “area” makes a lot of sense. At least to me and the hubby… To clarify — and if you’ve been “virtually” traveling on this trip with us — you know […]
