2017 Hurricane Season–Caribbean Update

2017 Hurricane Season–Caribbean Update

Posted by | Sep 26, 2017 | , ,

Like many of you, I had plans in the Caribbean this fall and like many of you, I am anxiously awaiting new news regarding the post hurricane island situations.  My heart goes out to the people in the midst of the devastation!!! Not only are their homes damaged or destroyed, many also have to face the prospect of their livelihood destroyed as well. Here is the most recent Caribbean Island Update after this crazy, crazy hurricane season (which is not quite over, yet)…. Not Impacted Aruba, Bonaire, Bermuda, Barbados, Curacao, Grand Cayman, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis...

Barca Fan!!! Will Travel for Soccer!

Barca Fan!!! Will Travel for Soccer!

Posted by | Sep 20, 2017 | ,

There is nothing quite like seeing a sporting event live and in person! The magic of the crowds, the noise, the excitement is all-encompassing.  I highly recommend traveling to watch those bucket-list sporting events.  It makes for great cocktail conversation and it adds to future sports experiences.  For example, the Hubs often tells the story of when we saw Barca play Bilbao–how we had primo seats and saw the action up close.  Here is a look back to a blog I wrote of that experience in Barcelona a few years back: My Man is a huge Futbol fan! World Cup,...

Dining at Staplehouse Atlanta

Dining at Staplehouse Atlanta

Sometimes you wonder if it’s all worth the hype…you know…the fabulous new kid on the block restaurant with a hip vibe…  I’ve wondered this about Staplehouse for the last year (although friends have told me it was *that* good).  Staplehouse is the hottest ticket in town in Atlanta.  Reservations are unbelievably difficult to come by – reservations are released once a month at noon and fill up quickly.  Diners may opt to go on the waiting list or try their hand at the eight-seat bar for walk-in seating. Soooo….when a friend of mine had a reservation for four and...

Girls Weekend in Naples, Florida–Inn on Fifth

Little Black Dresses, Buckets of Champagne, Gin and Tonics at the Pool, Dinner Reservations, Girl Talk 24/7….you gotta love a good girls’ weekend!!!  Our group of fabulous women descended on the town of Naples, Florida armed with restaurant recommendations, Cards Against Humanity, and vintage champagne.  Our home base for the weekend was the fabulous Inn on Fifth. Now I am a beach girl and being this close to the beach, I would typically recommend a hotel on the beach, but we wanted a bit of town life as well. Our group of ladies wanted to stay somewhere with some...

Hotel Review – Secrets Silversands

Posted by | Apr 7, 2017 | , , , ,

Sometimes you just have to get out of dodge…find a quick flight and get your toes in the sand and a margarita in hand–STAT!  The Man and I recently needed a break from the day-to-day grind…wear nothing but swimsuits all day and have unlimited quantities of tequila and guacamole under a palapa.  Enter Secrets Silversands! This gem on the Riviera Maya was the perfect location for our last minute beach fix.  It’s reasonably near Playa del Carmen and the Cancun Airport.  Secrets Silversands is part of the Secrets brand that I know and love so much!      Not all...
