Cartagena Eats
I recently returned from one of my favorite trips yet. I finally made it to Colombia, land of coffee, expansive nature-scapes and the only South American country with ports on both the Caribbean and the Pacific.
Galentine’s Day Lunch
This Valentine's Day, the ladies in the office on that Wednesday treated ourselves to lunch at Ardana in Newtown, Pennsylvania. As most days we all pack our lunches made up of leftovers and snacks from home, we always try to make it out of the office once a month for a nice lunch together. We chose Ardana as the Mediterranean backdrop for a meal together and to celebrate Love Day.
Talking Travel with Melissa Archer
When I first met actress Melissa Archer at a convention in 2016, she was gracious enough to grant me a short interview. After seeing her travel plans on her social media posts, I contacted her to share her new lifestyle on Talking Travel.
Chocolate Indulgence
I look forward to attending the Oregon Chocolate Festival, held in nearby Ashland, Oregon, every year . . . for the most obvious reason: chocolate! The organizers of this event wisely schedule it for early March, after St. Valentine's Day when the weather is usually gloomy and there isn't much happening. They make a whole weekend of it, with a chocolate makers' wine dinner and silent auction on Friday evening, a chocolate brunch offered on Saturday and Sunday mornings, family fun runs on Sunday, a Wonka chocolate costume contest and family activities (kids 8 and under enjoy free admission). For those looking for more indulgence, a local spa features some special chocolate massage and facial experiences.
Philadelphia Flower Show
I had never been to the famous Philadelphia Flower Show, but when my mom shared with my sisters and me she was going with a friend, we couldn’t help but crash their plans and join in on the night out in Philly. My sisters lucked out as they are both in masters’ programs, so their tickets were discounted at $35 for students, while I paid $50 for entrance to the show.
Jacksonville’s Trendy Taco Spot
Last week, I met some friends at Cantina Louie, a popular taco chain in Jacksonville. We didn’t realize just how popular the spot was, for, even on a Tuesday evening, the wait was rather long. But it was well worth it.
Sexy Man Sushi in Sarasota
My son recently came to visit me in Florida during his spring break. He’s a freshman in college in the Midwest and was looking for warmer weather when we booked the trip. I should’ve known one of his motivations in coming to the coast was also to enjoy the fresh ingredients in one of his favorite meals: sushi.
