Over the last few years, I've noticed something exciting happening in my hometown, San Jose, California. While my city has never had the coolness cred of our neighbor to the north (San Francisco), San Jose is having a bit of a moment. I'm in love with big cities. Seven years ago, after finishing a Master's degree in loving big cities (i.e. urban planning), I left Los Angeles and followed a boy ...
Hide Away in Port Antonio, Jamaica
Have you ever had this vacationer’s regret: You discover a place you love, but it is far away from where you had opted to stay? I felt this way after we spent one much-too-short day in the town of Port Antonio, Jamaica. Don’t get me wrong, the popular beach resort we had booked in the tourist center of Ocho Rios was nice, but in many ways Port Antonio was a breath of fresh air. Literally, ...
My Bare Minimum Weekend Packing List
Why is it so difficult to pack light for a weekend away? This a question I've wrestled with for years. While I've gotten pretty good at packing light for extended trips, I can't seem to go away for a night or two with fewer than two or three jam-packed bags! I know that it's all about planning.

I wasn't sure what I loved most about these architectural details, but I took a ton of photos of them and planned to share them in a post. Then I forgot. Yesterday, my friend shared a link she ...
Glamping in Wild Montana
This post was sponsored by The Ranch at Rock Creek. While I love to go camping, I understand it’s not for everyone. And even for me, after a few nights, the dirt and the sagging air mattress starts to get on my nerves. And then, there are the creepy crawlies… That’s why I’m intrigued by the new travel trend taking off called, “glamping”. Glamping is “glamourous camping,” that mixes the ...
A Little Taste of Petaluma
This post is not actually about the event, Taste of Petaluma 2014--that's happening today--Saturday, August 23. You should go! A few weekends ago, a blogger friend invited me up to go wine tasting in her home-away-from-home, Petaluma, California. I've done a cheese, oyster and beer tour of this area of Southern Sonoma County before, but I've never stopped into any of the wineries. For wine, ...
