Finally-a restaurant experience that I can rave about! Unfortunately for me it won’t be easy for me to go back soon as the restaurant is in Pocantico Hills, NY and I’m in California! I’v been hearing about this restaurant since its opening a few years back and my sister made plans for us to dine [...]

If you’re ever in the Hudson River Valley, try to make time to visit the many historical homes in the area not too far from New York City. If you check out the website for the Historic Hudson Valley you can see the various sites that you can visit.
On my recent visit to New York [...]
Loving Winter

A perfect ending to my trip to the northeast-a snowstorm on my last day!
I really can’t remember the last time I experienced the excitement of waking up in the morning and hearing the snow plow scraping over the street. If I’d been in school, it would have been a snow day! Growing up we would [...]
What Was I Thinking?

I just looked at a calendar again and realized that I’m leaving in two weeks, not three! I don’t know how I didn’t realize this before. Hmmm, now I really feel that the pressure is on! J. is wondering what he’s going to be eating while I’m gone. I’m the type that cooks dinner every [...]

I wanted to share from photos from my recent walk down memory lane in my old home town. It was a quiet, uneventful vacation with my family and lots of memories. Better than siting on a beach or trapsing through a foreign city going from sight to sight, this type of vacation takes you back [...]
Winter In New York

Cold and grey-just like I remember it. It looks like snow and I couldn’t be happier! Now, if you are living in a cold climate, not just visiting like I am, you probably think that I’m nuts. I live in the land of endless (well, almost) sunshine and it’s a treat for me to experience [...]
Taking Some Time

I feel bad about not writing the past few days. I’ve been busy trying to get things organized for school and find it hard to believe that in less than 30 days I’ll be in Arezzo! At present I’ m away and don’t always have access to the internet, but please keep checking back-I’ not [...]
I Love LA

Years ago when I first moved to San Diego I had to drive up to Los Angeles for a job interview. I hadn’t been here long, barely knew my way around San Diego and hadn’t been to Los Angeles in years. The job was in San Diego, but the interview was taking place in [...]

This photo just seems romantic to me. Is there any city in the world that exudes romance more than Venice? Happy Valentines Day!
