Key West is a funny place. If you’ve been here once you know that. We have an extremely liberal population, a huge gay population and a “come as you are” attitude. Then there is “Sign Guy” who holds up a sign with his opinion about what his god thinks of […]

The food is much better than it looks in these less than stellar cell phone photos. La Trattoria, at 524 Duval, is a delightful oasis in the middle of the action. However, in my opinion, they have committed a truly heinous sin: no vintages on the wine list. When you […]
Driving by the Barracuda Grill, it looks like every other restaurant in the Florida Keys: low key and fairly nondescript. Inside is a whole different ball game. It is charming, adorable and, as an added bonus, has great food. At first glance, the menu pricing seems a bit odd. Entrees […]
My last post – with the woman wondering whether Key West was worth her time – got me thinking. Why do people travel? Is it the museums? The food? Trying to navigate a foreign subway station in a language you don’t understand? Asking for directions from an old lady on […]
This is the title of a thread on the Fodors.com message boards. We all know my answer to this. But the actual issue here is travel. Every place is worth it at least once. How else will you know if you want to go back? This is the post, taken […]

In the last post you heard of my latest adventure getting stranded in Detroit. Fortunately it was not in a blizzard, like in 1998. I take carry on luggage as often as possible when traveling. It is easier to manage and the airline can’t lose what you don’t give them. […]
I fly a lot. Well, more than most and less than a true road warrior. I do, however, have Gold Medallion status on Delta, which should count for something. Occasionally I travel for an out of town job, but mostly I travel for fun. By fun, I mean the part […]
I am, by nature, not a very subtle person. OK, that might be a bit of an understatement, but you get the point. I am also not a terrific photographer. Combine these facts and you get a clumsy person who is obviously making fun of the people she is photographing, […]
The only thing more annoying than being told you ought to like a wine (when you don’t) is being lied to about the vintage in an effort to sound impressive. Sunday morning, my mother picked me up to accompany her to Boca Bacchanal, and the wine seminar. There is a […]
