Let’s face it. I’ve never been into science fiction or fantasy. I haven’t read a single Harry Potter novel and couldn’t even begin to fake knowing the plotline for Lord of the Rings (other than it involves a ring… And a gremlin-like creature who constantly says, “my precious”). And yes,…
If there is one thing for certain — the quickest way to put my husband to sleep is by visiting an art museum. Throw in a guided walking tour, and we have a comatose situation on our hands! Kevin checks out the artwork along the Museum Hack Tour of the…
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 months since Kevin and I got married in downtown LA. Both our families flew out a week prior so they could spend some time with us. While they don’t expect us to entertain them, we can’t help but pack in a ton…
Kevin and I love visiting Mexico. It’s a quick and easy trip from California, has delicious food and we get to practice our Spanish (or in my case, typically just repeating “YES” in Spanish no matter whether I understand or not!). But best of all? Mexico is cheap! We can’t pass…
There is so much to explore in Alaska, but where to begin? This year marked my husband Kevin’s 40th birthday so I knew we had to go big. I’ve visited Alaska at least a dozen times, so I’ve earned my stripes in knowing where to go (or not to go!)….
People come to Homer, Alaska, for a lot of reasons — to hike, try their luck at fishing or just to explore the quaint town full of art galleries and gift shops. Quaint Homer — love all the shopping! But Homer is also an excellent launching pad for bear viewing…
Los Angeles is full of secrets — and we keep uncovering new things even after a decade of living here. Kevin and I recently were invited by Cartwheel Art to check out one of the most unique tours we’ve ever taken: a trip deep into the underground network of tunnels…
Kevin and I quickly learned one big common theme about our trip — Spaniards love to eat (and often late at night!). And we joined right in, chowing down on plates of cheese and tapas. But besides all this delicious food, many restaurants offered equally thick menus of wine that nearly…
One thing is certain when joining a tour with Bike By My Side — you’ll feel a little like a celebrity when you roll up to a tourist spot in this classic motorcycle and sidecar. Kevin is comfortable and ready to ride! “Can I take your photo?” and “Where did…
It’s easy to forget how spoiled we are in Southern California. I still have flashbacks from my days in Boston — trudging through the snow and (irrationally) imagining that I’d never be warm again! Besides the obvious upgrade in weather, Southern California has a lot of advantages including good wine….
