I am writing this post well after my last almond croissant aboard the beautiful Quest, and well before I might ever hope to fit into a pair of non-stretch pants again. I expected the food to be good. I even expected some of it to be outstanding, but I certainly […]
Before we left on our trip, friends would ask where we were going on our cruise. My response? “Who cares?” The point is that if we stopped at some nice beaches and got a few good souvenirs along the way that would be lovely, but the main goal of the […]
After two luxurious days at sea, filled with agonizing decisions like: which flavor of margarita to have next, or, should we go into the main pool and hot tub or trek all the way down three decks to the aft pool/hot tubs, we landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I […]
To say I was desperate for a vacation is a pretty big understatement. FKGuy and I were stressed out and exhausted. We were thrilled to board the Seabourn Quest in Fort Lauderdale for a twelve night cruise. From the moment we were taken onboard, we knew we were in for […]

As FKGuy and I prepare to sell our house in which we have amassed belongings over the past thirteen years, we have also started to purge items we don’t need or use. One such item was the Fisher receiver that had inhabited my husband’s life for as long as I […]
Just when you think you cannot possibly eat another slice of pizza, it happens. You end up hungry, on Thanksgiving day, when not a lot is open. We found ourselves at Piola in Hallandale. The Italian restaurant chain occupies an unassuming space in the Diplomat Mall.
2012 marked the fourth year in a row that my cousin came to visit Key West over Thanksgiving weekend. This year, she brought her fiancé, and we had a great time. Naturally, the majority of what we were doing was what we enjoy most: good food and good wine.
Tomorrow marks the first Thanksgiving in twelve years that we will not be hosting in our home. Instead I have pawned it off on my mother, who graciously agreed to take on the holiday – along with every other holiday that she already does – this year. I agreed to […]
