Yesterday started out like any normal Sunday. I got dressed and headed over to Bayview Park for some tennis. Unfortunately, it started to rain, and soaked the courts before I actually got to play. Since I was not getting any exercise, I thought it a good idea to do the […]
I love a good steak. Or burger. Or rack of lamb (who doesn’t?) Or a nice roast beef. Or brisket. Really, I could channel my inner Forrest Gump sidekick, Bubba, and go on for days. But I think you get the picture. The thing is, not everyone does, which often […]
Smuggler’s Cove Resort, located at mile marker 85, Bayside, in Islamorada has recently undergone a major renovation to both the hotel as well as the restaurant. We were invited to check out the new menu choices, and I am glad we did, as it is my new favorite stopping point on […]
The Bier Boutique is a new take out and delivery joint in midtown Key West, opened in August by a couple from Ohio. In typical Key West fashion, they came on vacation, loved it, moved here and opened a business. While the restaurant is take out or delivery only, they […]

It takes a lot to get me to go to Downtown Miami, and in this case, it was an invitation from the folks at Steak Brasil for dinner. I am glad I accepted, as it was fantastic. This traditional Brazilian Rodizio (so traditional, in fact, that their website is entirely in Portuguese) […]
As a travel agent, I plan trips for clients all over the globe: from custom African safaris to luxury cruises to Antarctica (and everywhere else), and everywhere in between. My obsession with travel fueled my business, and this blog. I have been fortunate to travel extensively throughout my life. However, […]
Garbo’s Grill has been bought by new owners (a few years ago), and moved to a permanent location (also a few years ago) at Grunt’s Bar. The location is fantastic, and is a big win for the Garbo’s folks, the people at Grunt’s and us, the diners. While Grunt’s sells […]
