Aspen

Aspen
Aspen is one of my favorite places to ski.  Not only are there three really great mountains that I love to alternate skiing when we are there, (Aspen Highlights, my favorite; Ajax - or Aspen Mountain as it's now called; and Snowmass, which has so much terrain you can't ski it all) but it's also a real town with so much to do.

Croatia & Slovenia

Croatia & Slovenia
We were lucky enough to join friends on a bike trip (organized through Backroads) through Slovenia and Croatia in the fall, which is a beautiful time to see the countries. Continue reading

We love her like part of our family, and I just couldn’t stand that we wouldn’t see her for almost a year. Continue reading

South of France: Part 1
Anyone who knows me knows I love to travel! And my favorite traveling is not seeing museums and tourist spots- but to actually just live and experience the place, the people, the food, the culture- just take a break and actually enjoy BEING in another place. That’s my favorite kind of vacation. Continue reading

Amalfi Coast

Amalfi Coast
For a really special occasion, book the private terrace at Monastero Santa Rosa in Amalfi, which may be the most striking location for a hotel I have ever seen.  The monastery is hundreds of years old and looks as if it is falling into the sea off the cliff.  I have no idea how anyone could have built anything like it- it is breathtaking!
