(photos by Jill Martin Wrenn) When I was planning my trip to Italy, I ended up leaving Milan and the Lake District off my itinerary. So I couldn’t wait to hear all about it from today’s guest blogger, Jill Martin Wrenn (whom you might remember from her previous guest blogs posts about The Georgia Aquarium […]

People often grumble about attending out-of-town weddings, but when it's a wedding in Boston it's hard to complain. I don't go to Boston nearly enough, but whenever I go I always appreciate what a pretty city it is. Unlike my wedding weekend trip to Philly where I took in the greatest historic hits, I didn't […]

(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, […]

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 […]

It was hard to leave Grand Cayman yesterday and return to frosty NYC. The weather was ridiculously good during the entire time I was there and the Caribbean sea always looked so inviting, with its different shades of blue. I knew I couldn't stay forever, but I wish I could have stayed for at least […]

To reach the Great Orme Summit in Llandudno, Wales, you can walk, drive, take the aerial lift or ride the Great Orme Tramway, which has been in operation since 1902. When I was there in September, I opted for the 20-minute ride uphill on Britain’s lone surviving cable-hauled street tram (pictured above). You actually get […]

Is bigger always better? I’m talking about beaches here… When I arrived in Grenada, I was immediately smitten with Grand Anse Beach, which was right by my hotel. I’m hardly the first person to love Grand Anse — it’s widely regarded as the island’s best beach and one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. […]

I wasn’t expecting any entertainment at when I reached the Seven Sisters Waterfall in Grenada — just making it down there without face-planting into the mud seemed like reward enough. (This was the first time I’ve ever needed a walking stick when hiking.) The rain forest managed to be even more humid than the rest […]
