Recently, we were invited to check out Juniper on the Water in Hallandale Beach. Not one to pass up a free meal, I gladly accepted. It is a bit challenging to find the restaurant, as the location inside The Hemispheres condo complex is odd. But that is where the weirdness […]

There’s nothing quite like waking up on a Sunday morning refreshed and ready for the day. Well, that, and having to fill in pieces of the night before for your friend who may have slept through the 80’s dance party in the living room. Admittedly, it is usually me that […]
Key West is a transient town, with people coming and going all the time. So, it is inevitable that some of our friends would move away. This weekend, we ventured north to see friends that have recently left Key West in their new home in St. Augustine, and it was […]
Grille 401 Las Olas is a large restaurant, complete with two bars, a private dining room, and an upstairs entertaining space. Recently, they introduced a weekend brunch, including bottomless mimosas with a choice of Prosecco or Champagne. Animal lovers will love the Saturday morning Bark N Brunch. Bring your furry friend […]
Royal Caribbean’s Enchantment of the Seas recently began sailing three and four-night itineraries from Miami. Earlier in the week, I toured the ship and enjoyed lunch onboard. This 81,000-ton vessel can carry over 2,400 passengers across eleven decks, and is perfect for a quick getaway.

The last day of a cruise is anxiety-filled: back to work, getting home and the stark reality of having to fend for yourself again. On our recent transatlantic cruise, however, that was not the case. We had been aboard for sixteen days and still had one night to go before […]
I am in a constant struggle to buy new and exciting gifts for friends and family (especially the friends that watch Babka and Latke, so that we can travel). Having been on close to a zillion cruises to the Caribbean (only a slight exaggeration), I can tell you that buying […]
After a 9+ mile trek in Gibraltar, I was hell-bent on wearing sandals. There was no way I was shoving my feet in running shoes again for the day in Malaga. Big mistake. A dress and open-toed shoes are not appropriate rainy weather attire, especially in a city with a […]
In the middle of Winton Drive, in the heart of Wilton Manors, lies a tiny sushi restaurant. Sozo Sushi is small, with just five stools at the counter, four in the window and two minuscule tables for two. Our party of three sat outside, as that is where there were enough […]
