Washington, D.C. is a three-hour train ride from Philly and yet I’ve only visited three times over the years –in high school, when a friend lived in the city and last time for my trip to South Africa (the award ticket from IAD-JNB ). D.C. really is a wonderful city with so many great FREE …

Modern art and I have a love/hate relationship since my visit to the Chicago Art Institute which threw me over the edge. Yoko Ono’s art over the years has been controversial for me so when I heard about the Wish Tree for Washington, DC, I was curious. How is a living tree a work of art? …

Growing up, I danced all the time. Now I only dance (and sing) in the car as the commute requires it to preserve my sanity and provide other drivers a smile. So when I saw that the Silent Dance Society and the Embassy Row Hotel had invited our #BloggersTakeTheCity group to the Friday Night Rooftop …

It’s rare to experience “new hotel smell” (I had it in London once) but I was lucky on my trip to Seattle. When I booked the hotel in February as a post cruise stay, I only knew that it was a new Loews Hotel acquisition in 2016. Hotel 1000 has won many accolades prior to …

When my friend posted photos on Facebook of the Infinity Mirrors exhibit at the Hirshhorn in Washington, D.C. I was intrigued by the art and the infinite images. I had never heard of the artist, Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese artist whose career spans over 65 years. She is still, at 89, a working artist in …

I’m exhausted! Now that I have a job and vacation time again, I’ve been putting it to good use this year. That said, I’m tired and woefully behind on posts as I’ve been chosing the couch over my laptop after work to decompress from my horrible commute. But there so much to share with you …

I’ve been visiting Seattle for over twenty years now ever since my childhood friend married and relocated to the Emerald city. On early visits, I stayed with my friend but as her family grew, I quickly lost the guest room and then the basement and finally the air mattress. I started to stay in a …

There’s a first time for everything they say….I just wish it wasn’t me that had to experience it so often. Over the years, I’ve sat on runways delayed for no reason in the sun and other times sat on the runway because of Airforce One. With nightmare travel days and travel meltdowns, taxi strikes, train …

Having just returned from Alaska on a Holland American Cruise and my first Disney Cruise in April, I thought it would be good to revisit first time cruise tips and a realistic budget guide for your first cruise.

One excuse I’ve heard over the years for not traveling is “it isn’t safe to go to x, y or z”. I was reminded this weekend that staying at home isn’t safe either – bad things can happen anywhere. While sitting in one of four lanes of traffic waiting to turn onto the highway, I …
