9/11 NEVER FORGET Mobile Exhibit
I often go to Chicago suburb Rosemont as an entertainment destination. Last weekend my visit was for a more serious reason: the 9/11 NEVER FORGET Mobile Exhibit.
Discovering Xcaret Park
On a recent trip to Mexico, I spent a day with my group of friends exploring Xcaret. Nestled along the Caribbean coast in the Riviera Maya, Xcaret is an eco-archaeological park spanning over 200 acres. It offers a blend of Mexico’s rich cultural heritage and beauty of its natural landscapes.
Date Night in Philly
My husband and I enjoyed date night in Philadelphia last weekend. The night began with dinner at Yanaga Kappo Izakaya. The happy hour menu was still available when we arrived, so we took advantage of discounted food and drink options. I ordered the rotating happy hour cocktail, which featured lemongrass and whiskey, and my husband opted for a glass of red wine. Also from the happy hour menu, we ordered spicy kaarage from the hot starters, and umami cukes and spicy tuna rice crispy from the cold starters. We enjoyed the soy-marinated cucumbers so much we ordered a second round! Beyond happy hour, we shared pork gyoza and a selection from the sushi menu. We both commented we would enjoy returning for happy hour again.
Spritzes & Sunshine: An Evening at Harvest
There’s just something about warm weather that instantly puts me in the mood for patio lounging and good company. When the sun’s out and the temperature climbs past 70, you can bet I’m scouting out the nearest spot with cocktails and delicious appetizers.
Jacksonville Opens New Fore Score Golf Tavern
I recently attended the debut of Jacksonville’s newest Fore Score Golf Tavern, a bar and restaurant brand with golf simulators. The new location showcased the best of elevated bar bites with tasty cocktails. Whether you're an avid golfer or someone who wishes to practice swinging before hitting the actual course, this is the place to do it.
An Unexpected Saturday Evening
If you ask anyone who knows the slightest thing about me what I would be doing on a given Saturday, I’m pretty sure that my activity the evening of Saturday, April 26, would be close to last on the list of guesses. I am not a fan of sporting events, heavy machinery or cars, yet there I was on the bleachers of Lincoln Financial Field at Monster Jam, which claims to be “the most action-packed motorsports event on four wheels.”
Talking Travel with Danny Sheaffer
As an avid reader of sports autobiographies, I was immediately interested when I heard former Major League Baseball catcher Danny Sheaffer wrote one. When I heard Sheaffer discuss his love of travel in his promotional interviews, I wanted to learn more.
Alaska Airlines at SFO
We wrapped up our December trip Down Under with a business-class flight from Sydney to San Francisco on United Airlines, enjoying the Polaris fully lie-flat seat, meals and complimentary beverages, and plenty of entertainment options on the 13-hour flight. The flight was even more special in that we departed Sydney on the Southern Hemisphere's summer solstice --- Dec. 21 --- and landed (thanks to the International Date Line) in San Francisco on the Northern Hemisphere's winter solstice. After the long flight, I was really looking forward to spending our several-hour layover before our final flight to Portland in the new Alaska Airlines lounge in Harvey Milk Terminal 1.
Lunch at The St. Regis Longboat Key
Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy lunch at a truly stunning resort on Longboat Key. Our publisher, Francis, and I had heard incredible things about the property, so we decided to try it for ourselves by making a reservation for lunch.

May 14, 2025Hotel Van Zandt Review
One step onto Austin’s Rainey Street and you’ll feel like you’ve joined the cool kids at the best playground in the city. Just behind the cottage bars, pint-sized skyscrapers soar. One of them, Hotel Van Zandt, the Rainey district's pièce de resistance, beckons with a song-like spirit —apropos because the independently owned property, rife with music motifs, was named after beloved singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt. Sixteen stories high, the hotel embodies Austin’s lust for music, manifesting with a vinyl corner; trumpet chandeliers; myriad musical references; replica vintage posters in frames; and its own live music venue, which doubles as its acclaimed restaurant, Geraldine’s. Don’t miss the mesmerizing installation of colorful origami-like birds composed from vinyl records that flitter from an old phonograph.
