We couldn't find that.
Let's go back home and try again.
Desert Treasure Posted on April 1, 2018 April is the perfect time to head to Palm Springs and nearby communities in the Coachella Valley. The weather is warm, but not too hot for golf and tennis, wildflowers are blooming, and major music festivals are scheduled throughout the month. The desert is also a good place…
Going Kiwi With Kids New Zealand offers fun for the whole family Posted on March 1, 2018 “Do we have to leave? I really want to stay here with Cooee,” pleaded the youngest in our family as we loaded the car for the drive to Christchurch Airport. And with this, all of her nine-year-old self…
An Enchanted Expedition Trailing Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico Posted on February 1, 2018 I’ve found over the years that the best way to plan a trip is to talk to locals. On our last sortie to the Land of Enchantment, my husband and I let Georgia O’Keeffe be our guide. The artist made the…
Joyful Journeys Bringing happiness home in the New Year Posted on January 1, 2018 Everyone has a reason for traveling. Some look forward to meeting new people. Others want to break their routine and seek new sights and experiences. Then, there are those who love the challenges, whether it’s mastering the Paris Metro or learning…
The Best of Berkeley Posted on December 5, 2017 It was Benjamin Braddock who introduced me to Berkeley. I was a big fan of The Graduate and watched repeatedly as he pursued Elaine Robinson across the Cal campus and staked out Moe’s Books on Telegraph Avenue. The movie is 50 years old this month, so…
Prioritizing Your Travels How climate change is changing plans Posted on November 1, 2017 I feel like I need to start writing my bucket list in pencil. The log of places I want to visit once stretched out in years and was pretty much cast in concrete. Now, like many travelers, I prioritize the destinations…
Next Stop, Bangkok Posted on October 23, 2017 In Europe, all roads may lead to Rome, but in Southeast Asia, most air routes bring travelers to Bangkok. I hadn’t realized this until earlier this year when we planned our Thailand-Bhutan-Cambodia trip. After checking flight schedules it quickly became apparent that we’d be pivoting through the…
Autumn in Vermont Posted on September 5, 2017 Not long after we were married, my car-crazed husband asked if I’d like to join him for a Bugatti rally in New England. Normally, I’m a no-show for such events, but a week in Vermont in early September sounded like fun. I visualized admiring fall colors and…
New in Newport Special spots in nearby beach community Posted on July 27, 2017 If the thought of getting on a packed airplane for a getaway sounds like too much effort and expense, consider an easy hour-or-so-drive to Newport Beach. On a recent trip, we learned what’s hot in Newport, from dining to shopping in…
Finding Happiness in Beautiful Bhutan Posted on July 26, 2017 My fascination with the Kingdom of Bhutan started with a Time magazine article in 2008. “The king declared that the nation should become a democracy, and his subjects were horrified,” I read. It seems that, after a century of royal rule, most Bhutanese were afraid…
At Home on the Kona Coast Posted on July 1, 2017 The view from our balcony was the stuff of postcards. In the distance, the blue Pacific extended as far as I could see and the low-rise community of Kailua-Kona stretched out along the coast. Cattle grazed on the wide green slope in front of…
Best of Boston An insider’s guide for visitors Posted on May 31, 2017 The idea of a week in Boston sounded wonderful, but as our departure date approached, I realized I didn’t have a clue what to do once we got there. I could have surfed myriad Web sites, but instead, I asked friends…
Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Posted on May 23, 2017 I was dozing in my lounge chair last spring at an Orange County resort when I was awakened by hoots and hollers. Children, screaming like banshees, cannonballed into the crowded pool. An announcer called out bingo numbers on the public address system. Muzak blared from the poolside…
