July 4th means a lot of things to people: patriotism, BBQs, fireworks and finding the best spot on the beach to watch the festivities. My grand plan involved a dinner reservation at Salute, in time to enjoy a leisurely dinner and then watch the fireworks. The entire plan hinged on […]
Watching the sunset from a dock is always a good thing. Watching the sunset while indulging in fabulous food is even better. This is precisely how I spent my evening at Thai Life. I have been to this restaurant a few times, both to dine in and take out. The […]
After days of seeing apartment after apartment in crappy walk-ups, mid-range buildings and luxury buildings, all in the same price range, we have a winner. My cousin will be living at The Anthem, a really nice building in the East 30s. It is near his job and he can easily […]

I have wanted to go to Croatia for quite a while. We skipped over the more popular ports of Dubrovnik and Split on this itinerary, instead heading to Korcula and Rovinj. In Korcula, we took a tour offered by the ship to three wineries. We started taking a boat across […]
A few years ago when friends of my parents told me that their sailboat was docked in Brindisi, I had to get out a map of Italy to find it. Brindisi is a little port town on the “heel” part of the boot that is Italy, and it is quite […]
