Philly Dining Scene
This past weekend my husband and I enjoyed two incredible dinners at Philadelphia restaurants.
oneworld Unveils The 25
Last week Global Traveler was invited to John F. Kennedy International Airport to celebrate oneworld alliance’s new signature cocktail, The 25. The name of the cocktail, inspired by the 25th anniversary of the alliance that began with just four airlines and now includes 13 members, with a 14th joining this year.
Nayara Spa Review
At the end of April, my two friends and I went on a girls' trip to Costa Rica. On the first leg of the trip we went to Nayara Gardens in La Fortuna, nestled in the rainforest at the base of the Arenal Volcano. While there we were given the chance to try out treatments at the most stunning spa I have been to.
SuperFreak: The Rick James Story
With Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo at McCormick Place this weekend, I knew I would be spending a lot of time downtown. My busy weekend started by attending SuperFreak: The Rick James Story at Arie Crown Theater.
Four Days in Vienna
Several years and a few thousand working hours ago, I remember speaking with a group of colleagues about our favorite vacation destinations. Someone in the room had recently returned from a trip to Vienna, Austria, and I was sold. There was romance in her voice when she described the scenery and the city … more than I’d ever heard anyone talk about a European destination before.
The Great Chicago Ketchup Debate
Baseball season in Chicago means the start of the great debate. I'm not talking about Cubs versus White Sox. I'm referring to ketchup on hot dogs.
A Busy Weekend in Portland
We spent a long weekend visiting family and friends in Portland recently, stuffing a variety of activities in just a few days. The biggest draw was our 4-year-old granddaughter's participation in her preschool's spring "dinner theater" and silent auction fundraiser on Friday night. We had seen this same group of 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds perform in a December Reindeer Games variety show and were impressed with the performances (singing and dancing and dialogue) the children's teachers pulled out of them, and we'd been told that the spring show was an even bigger extravaganza. It turned out to be true.
Travel in Style
In a meeting about 30 years ago, the executives of United MileagePlus reported an internal survey indicated their best business customers were also their best leisure customers. It came as no shock to me, as I understand well the travel bug bites hard; and when you travel for business, you are always looking for that other place to discover on your own. Same goes with bleisure: Long before the term became widely used by the industry, we were using it and living it at Global Traveler. Often my business trips to California, Florida and all over the world included a weekend of golf, usually with clients.
Sailing and Snorkeling in the U.S. Virgin Islands
On the second half of my journey with Holland America Line, we docked at St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands on a particularly breezy and sunny day. Alongside another cruise ship, we disembarked and boarded a catamaran called Castaway Girl.
