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…
One thing I was looking forward to doing in Dubai was trying plenty of Middle Eastern food. When I celebrated my landmark birthday earlier this year, Kevin and I were inspired to visit Singapore after watching Crazy Rich Asians and seeing its famed hawker stalls with Michelin star creds. And…
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…

One of our favorite ways to explore a new place is by doing a biking or walking tour. It combines our favorite things — burning off all the food we eat on vacation, and exploring places often not listed in our well-worn Lonely Planet guidebook. But more importantly — it…
This year marked a landmark birthday for me. So the pressure was on for Kevin to go big. And not just because I surprised him last year for his 40th birthday with a 5-day road trip adventure through Alaska. Okay, maybe that did create some pressure to measure up! Kevin…
This year marked a landmark birthday (and no, I didn’t turn 21). When my husband Kevin asked me where I wanted to go this year, I didn’t hesitate and literally shouted Singapore. I gotta admit, we just watched Crazy Rich Asians. I loved the opulence. Plus, the street food looked…
Kevin and I have visited New York City countless times — doing the typical things like eating our way through Chinatown and taking in a Broadway show. We’ve also done plenty of walking tours covering everything from architecture to food. And of course, as a former NBC Page nearly 2…
