(View From Stratton Mountain by Steve Soj/Flickr) Nicki and Greg Shalette were looking for a little luxury and a little skiing that wasn't too far from New York City. So last weekend, they drove to Manchester, VT, for a fantastic romantic getaway. They skied, they got massages, they dined, they hit the outlets and they […]

(Barton Creek Cave, photos by Amanda Lobell) I put Belize on my list of top 10 trips I wish I had taken in 2009, so I was very excited to hear all about Amanda Lobell and Neil Roach’s recent vacation there. They had a fantastic time dividing their week between the jungle and the beach, […]

Welcome to the 14th edition of the Anywhere, Everywhere Travel Blog Carnival. The carnival takes place once a month and features some of the best travel writing and photography on the web. As usual, I received tons of great submissions; here are my favorites. Felicity Campbell presents Real Medellin – Barrio of Santo Domingo posted […]

When I was on Grand Cayman last month, it wasn’t just to sunbathe on Seven Mile Beach and swim, or rather wade, with the stingrays. (And it certainly wasn’t to run the Cayman marathon!) I was there for the 6th annual Cayman Jazz Fest, which took place on the evenings of Thurs., Dec. 3rd—Sat., Dec […]

Today's guest blogger, Jill Martin Wrenn, lives in Atlanta (you may remember her last guest-blog post about The Georgia Aquarium). So when she tells people she went to Birmingham, they think she's talking about the city in Alabama and not the one England.

But no, it just so happens that Sidecar, one of Park City's most popular nightclubs, serves excellent pizza. I know, I know. I was skeptical […]

After a day of skiing, I crave hot chocolate. And after a day of skiing at the luxurious Deer Valley Resort, I wanted a luxurious hot chocolate from the St. Regis Deer Crest Resort. I didn’t know exactly where it was; all I knew was that it opened last year and St. Regis hotels tend […]

I knew that Utah's Deer Valley Resort had a reputation for being luxurious, but I wasn't sure exactly what to expect when I went there for the first time this morning. But it was apparent right away — when my husband was dropping me off with our skis so he could go park the car […]

Recently I did a post about the top 10 trips I wish had taken this year, but I really can't imagine 2009 having been a better travel year for me. Choosing my top 10 travel moments from this year wasn't easy — I feel like every trip I took deserved its own top 10! But I finally […]
