Four Days in Los Angeles: Sights & Bites
A guest blog post by Tracy How can two Americans possibly regard themselves as well-traveled if they’ve never been to Los Angeles? I don’t believe they can. Despite visits to multiple California cities over the years, we’d somehow never made it to L.A., and so we finally corrected this oversite last February. As I’m sure […]
These Are a Few of My Favorite San Antonio Things
Fun fact: San Antonio, Texas is my most visited city. I lived there as a child and consider it my second home, so I visit quite often. I love the culture, the history, and even the tourist traps. These are a few of my favorite things… What I Like to Do My […]

A Downtown McKinney Walking Wine Trail
I’ve been known to wander off and/or modify plans to accommodate winery visits when traveling. So when we were in the Dallas area earlier this summer for a birthday party, we made a slight detour to the northeast to the small and charming Texas town of McKinney and visited a couple wineries within walking distance […]
Kansas City, You Shocked the Hell out of Me!
A guest blog post by Tracy A couple of years ago, my boyfriend, Steve, surprised me with a weekend in Kansas City. I was initially taken aback since this wasn’t a destination I’d ever really considered. As a bit of a foodie, Kansas City – to me – symbolized barbecue first and foremost. There’s no […]
A New Jersey Wine Trail from Atlantic City
During Memorial Day weekend, I took my mother and husband to New Jersey to meet family. Having never been to New Jersey and with several days to sight-see, I jumped on the opportunity to visit local vineyards and wineries. You know I can sniff out a winery within a 100 mile radius, right? We stayed […]
Aspen Food & Wine Classic (Is Winefesting a Verb?)
A guest blog post by Tracy Continued from Aspen Food & Wine Classic (Aspen: Not Just for Bears and Rich People) Now, let’s get to the important business of food and winefesting (if you will)! I must say I was incredibly impressed with the organization of the entire weekend, although perhaps I shouldn’t have […]
Aspen Food & Wine Classic (Aspen: Not Just for Bears and Rich People)
A guest blog post by Tracy NEWS FLASH…Aspen is Fabulous! Perhaps that’s not exactly breaking news. After all, you don’t earn a reputation for hosting the rich and famous without a damn good reason. And while I’ve never visited in winter when the snowbirds flock by the thousands to ski Aspen’s renowned slopes, I can […]
Capturing Savannah: A Photo Tour Review
A guest blog post by Tracy Waking at 5:00 a.m. while on vacation is not generally my idea of a good time. As the alarm so rudely blared that Tuesday morning, I wondered what on Earth had possessed me to schedule a tour at such an ungodly hour. I was still questioning myself as I […]
