The universally asked question by clients planning vacations is “When should I book my trip to get the best prices? Should I book early or wait until the last minute?” My father likes to answer any question, particularly those related to his accounting practice, with “it depends,” but the truth is, […]

Finding Cero Bodega is half the battle. This lovely pool bar/restaurant is located within the new Marker Resort, at the back of the pool area. It is a gorgeous and serene, and can turn an ordinary lunch into a vacation day. Because it feels like vacation, you may even indulge […]
My friend Lori was telling me about a kitchen gadget that she just loves: It is a sous vide immersion stick that goes into a pot or tub of water and turns it into a sous vide machine. It sounded fascinating, but when she told me I needed one, I […]
I have been in Key West long enough that it is time to start adding some restaurant and activity updates. We’ve been to Onlywood several times, including once this week. I was sick with a bad cold, but did not want to cancel plans we’d had for weeks, plus, it […]
I hadn’t been to Gulfstream in a while, and now I’ve been twice in two weeks. We were invited to try out Brio Tuscan Grille’s new summer menu, The Art of Grilling, a 3 course menu for $26.95/person. I’ll admit I was skeptical. I don’t frequent large chain restaurants, so I was […]

We have reached the final installment of the Celebrity Solstice cruise recap. Today’s feature is Skagway, Alaska, a tiny town with only 800 permanent residents. There are a few restaurants that mainly cater to cruise ship passengers, and there is a small school, but if you are pregnant in Skagway, […]
Getting up at 5 or 6 AM on vacation seems like an outrage. But that was the time we start cruising Tracy Arm Fjord toward Sawyer Glacier, so that was the time we got up. At about 5:45 AM, I told FKGuy to go up to the Sky Lounge on the beautiful Celebrity […]
After a beautiful cruise up the Inside Passage, we docked on day 3 of our cruise in Ketchikan, Alaska. We left the ship and walked over to the Visitor’s Center to the rendezvous point for our scheduled seaplane tour of the Misty Fjords. Then my phone rang.
