Our Best of Italy
Close your eyes and picture Italy’s countryside. Got it in your mind? Okay, good.
Well, that’s not what it’s like here in Tuscany today (it’s blustery), making it a great time for an update. Read more
Local Travel

Have Food? We’ll Travel
The last few months in our world have been like no other.
Work is at an all-time-busy, we’re making some big life decisions and we’ve strung together a sequence of “best of” travel experiences that we’ve coined our Ultimate Honeymoon (in honor of finally having a legal marriage that is expected to stick). Read more
National Parks – America’s Best Idea
National Parks were a big part of the motivation behind planning this segment of our current adventure – the Pacific Coast road trip. As National Park maniacs, it was becoming – with each passing year – more and more unacceptable that we hadn’t yet made it to Yosemite. That’s as bad as being a gambler who hasn’t been to Las Vegas.

Grazing at The Herbfarm
When the chef said that the evening’s 9-course, 6-wine menu had three desserts, I almost had an excitement seizure. Read more
Finding the Chill in Hawaii and Costa Rica
None of our adventures beat those in which we find ourselves in a chill, restorative environment. It seems we’re half crazy half the time (especially lately), so we love – more than anything – accommodations that dilute the crazy quotient. Read more
Sharing Aloha
In all of our rambling on-and-on about Hawaii over the years, we’ve failed to give adequate attention to what we think is this sliver-of-the-world’s biggest selling point.

Where to Stay in Seattle
When we decided we wanted to do some kind of Celebrate Seattle contest – the capstone event in our year long focus on (uh, obsession with) Seattle – it wasn’t too tough for us to select the perfect hotel to partner with. After very little pondering and research, we knew just which property to reach out to. Read more

Celebrate Seattle Giveaway
Imagine this.
You wake up in Seattle. Looking out your hotel room’s window, you see a layer of light fog beginning to drift away. Somehow, contrary to what you conjured up before arriving, the dramatic clouds and light rain fit the setting. You see ferry-dotted Elliott Bay in front of you, and the more-impressive-than-you-imagined Olympic Range in the distance. It’s unique. It’s perfect. Read more
