When is the best time to take a cruise vacation? Any time! If you plan properly, any time of year can be a great time somewhere in the world, if you know a few secrets. THE CARIBBEAN Most of my clients in Florida like to cruise the Caribbean because it […]
A giant building, right on the water (hence the very creative name) houses Key West’s newest brewery. The Waterfront Brewery has been a long time in the planning stages, and though it has been open for a while now, the rooftop restaurant and music venue is still in the works.
This week I’ve had several complaints about Babka the Dog’s lack of blogging these days. Well, I let her know that she was disappointing her fans, and she agreed to relay a story to you. You asked for it. Humans are awfully demanding. I mean, I was perfectly happy sitting […]
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.

I’ve been friends with two women since we all had frizzy hair and no boobs. If you are keeping score, that would add up to thirty-one years. So, pretty much forever. When one person needs advice, she can turn to either of the others, and we all frequently do. Last […]
New on the dining scene in Key West is the Thirsty Mermaid. Recently opened by one of the partners at Blackfin Bistro, I was excited to check it out. I was less excited to find that they do not take reservations, and a wait meant standing on Fleming Street with no seats […]
