As a Jew, I get to have these posts twice a year: once in January and once at the beginning of the Jewish New Year, typically some time in September. This year, the new year begins tonight. We will be spending the holiday in northern Virginia with family. This new […]

On The Road with Florida Keys Girl is a new video series showcasing various people and places. Today’s feature is Aspen, Colorado. The Innsbruck in Aspen is a beautiful property. Each unit features a full kitchen (ours was complete with granite counter tops and slate floors), a steam shower, a […]
I normally ride around Key West on my very inexpensive cruiser bike, which is a little too small for me, has coaster brakes and no gears. It is my kind of bike. I lock it all the time, as it could be gone in a minute otherwise. Naturally I […]
As we were planning our trip, my friend asked us what we would like to do while visiting them. Dining at Frasca was top of my list. “That is the best restaurant in Boulder,” she says to me. Yes, that is precisely why I want to go. She could not […]

As the summer comes to an end, Floridians are hoping for a breath of cooler winter air. I assume we will be waiting another three months for that. Meanwhile, enjoy the bar-b-ques, get togethers and long weekend. This weekend in Key West is Brewfest, a beer-filled festival. I know what […]
