I’m back in chilly NYC after a great trip to Grenada. But in cyberspace I’m over on Heather Cowper’s excellent travel blog Heatheronhertravels.com guest-blogging about why it’s a good idea to stay in Goreme, Turkey, if you’re looking to explore the Capoddocia region. (The photo above was taken in June at 6 AM from the […]

There were certain things I was expecting on my trip to Grenada, such as beautiful beaches and spectacular sunsets. But I wasn't expecting to encounter monkeys. Perhaps I should have been because Grenada has rain forest and monkeys seem to like rain forests (as do I). Meeting my first Mona Monkey on Sunday at the […]

Yesterday, I missed the sunset over Grand Anse beach in Grenada due to an ill-timed nap. Today, I wasn’t going to let that happen so I made sure I was in a prime spot by 5:30pm. As you can see, I made it this time and watched the fiery ball drop behind a small hill. […]

When I went to Kennebunkport, Maine, last summer, I […]

Too bad I don't have a "What Took Me So Long?" category, because this post would definitely fall into it. (Actually, quite a few would, so perhaps I should add one.) But in this case, I'm not talking about why I waited so long to write a post. No, I mean what took me so […]

The Smallest House in Great Britain happens to be in Conwy, Wales. So what’s the largest house in Conwy? Conwy Castle, of course.

When I was in Rome in July, I was under a lot of pressure to eat really good food. It was our last stop in Italy and we didn’t want to botch a single meal. I’m happy to report that we ate quite well and I have some restaurants to recommend.
