Things I Love, Wining/Dining

  Want the best and easiest solution for solving who goes where and who cooks what for Thanksgiving? Leave town. Especially if you can with those you love most. That is exactly what I did with the hubby, son and daughter … headed off to beloved New Orleans for great food, music and time spent […]

We saw first-hand the tremendous building boom occurring in the area. And, if you’re not familiar with the name, Andaz is Hyatt’s […]

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

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 […]
