Valle De Guadalupe, Mexico’s wine country, is one of the hottest up-and-coming wine regions. Could this hidden spot be the next Napa? Just 90 minutes from San Diego (and 4 hours from Los Angeles, outside peak traffic), Valle De Guadalupe makes a relaxing weekend getaway from southern California. In fact,…
Valle De Guadalupe wineries provide us with our annual zen moment. It’s basically become our annual pilgrimage from Los Angeles every January — the perfect time to visit with smaller crowds and cooler temperatures. We’ve made the trip south of the border for years, and Kevin and I both agree…
For the past 5 years, Kevin and I have headed south of the border to Ensenada as part of a long weekend road trip to Mexico’s wine country, Valle De Guadalupe. Sure, there are gorgeous wineries and 5 star restaurants in the Valle. But there are so many things to…
If there is one cuisine I can’t say no to, it’s Mexican. Let’s just say, I’ve been known to drive several hours for a tamale festival. And we once wandered through dark alleyways in LA — armed only with iPhones as flashlights — in search of a street stall serving…
Feel like you always over-pack for your vacations? Trust me, we know a few people (who shall remain nameless!). But over the years, Kevin and I have managed to get our packing down to a science. After all, who wants to spend their valuable vacation time searching for a last…

Falconry isn’t just a sport of the past in United Arab Emirates. Owning a falcon is a matter of pride. In fact, a falcon can cost up to $60,000 USD a bird. Kevin and I were invited to check out Abu Dhabi’s Falcon Hospital, considered the world’s top center in falconry…
As anyone who follows us knows, Kevin and I have a pretty adventurous streak — whether its diving with crocodiles in Cabo or swimming at the top of Victoria Falls in Zambia. We just got back from an incredible 7 days in United Arab Emirates, traveling from Dubai to Abu…
