Savor Borgata Food Festival
Earlier this month, my husband and I attended the Savor Borgata food festival in Atlantic City, New Jersey. There were 22 events over the course of the weekend. We had a chance to experience one-of-a-kind dining experiences from the Borgata’s roster of celebrity chefs, including Wolfgang Puck, Bobby Flay, Michael Symon, Michael Schulson, Geoffrey Zakarian and special guest Alex Guarnaschelli.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling
The Saronic or Argo Saronic Islands of Greece call travelers to explore its seven small islands and islets brimming with history, natural sites and more. With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips. From Piraeus port, you can access Hydra, Spetses, Aegina and Poros directly. Come explore these stunning islands with us and find the inspiration to plan your next trip to these islands. Hydra Hydra town curves around a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf like an amphitheater and is considered one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Most unique to the island is its lack of vehicles. People on the island get around on mules and donkeys as well as water taxis, making for a peaceful and laid-back day. Hydra lies a two-hour ferry ride from Piraeus port in Athens.
Labor Day Weekend
No matter which holiday is coming up at any time of year, I am always excited for a three-day weekend. This Labor Day weekend we were lucky enough to close early on Friday, giving us time to get ready for the weekend’s festivities.
Atlantic City in the Off Season
When my husband asked if I was interested in going along to a work event in Atlantic City, New Jersey, I replied, “Sure, I’m game!" I didn’t know if there was anything to do in Atlantic City when it’s cold out other than hit the casinos. We’re not much into gambling — I often say if it weren’t for bad luck, we’d have no luck at all — so I knew we’d probably steer clear of the games of chance.
