January is a great time to visit Palm Springs – sunny skies, cool weather for hiking and plenty of activities and special events like the annual Palm Springs International Film Festival. Kevin’s parents were visiting and knew they’d love it. Plus, you can do a nice combo of hiking in…
There is so much to do in Mexico City. But how do you prioritize? Kevin and I just got back from spending 5 days in Mexico City (our full itinerary here) and easily could have stayed longer. We barely scratched the surface, which I guess means we’ll have to make…
Over the Christmas break, Kevin and I spent 5 days in Mexico City and had a blast (check out our fun itinerary here). But figuring out our New Year’s Eve plan proved to be one of our greatest challenges. At one point, I requested 8 reservations (with nearly all of them falling through). For…
Ready, set, go — just have 5 days in Mexico City? Below is a fantastic 5 day Mexico City itinerary to cover a lot of ground. Mexico City is the ultimate comeback story. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, things got a little rough (to say the least!). But fast forward…
The Christmas time fun continues with the family in Tampa, Florida. This year, my mom planned for us all to do a food walking tour of Tampa’s historic Ybor City, located just northeast of downtown. Let’s just say, this food tour went MUCH smoother than the one Kevin and I planned last…

Christmas is just around the corner – so I thought I’d write a post for that ever pressing question I get each year from my family. So what on earth do you want this year? Shopping for frequent travelers and foodies can be tough. So we take the guesswork out of…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in LA — well, minus the snow-covered trees and below-zero temperatures. It’s sometimes easy to forget the holiday are right around the corner. Here are some of LA’s best places to get in the spirit — from over-the-top events to under-the-radar spots around…
For this year’s Thanksgiving, Kevin and I went back to Washington, DC to see the fam. It’s definitely been awhile! Last year, we spent Thanksgiving in San Diego since I was still on crutches after the first of many knee surgeries. But I’m back on my feet again. And braved LAX…
