Macarons in Paris

Paris Macarons and Chocolate, a pastry kitchen tour at Gerard Mulot

If you haven’t guessed by now in reading my blog or following my instagram, I have an insatiable sweet tooth.  Visiting Paris with my eleven year old niece, Aubrey, allowed me to indulge a bit more than normal (or at least I felt that I had a good excuse for […]

Sense Spa Rosewood London

Awesome Deep Tissue Massage in London at Sense Spa Rosewood London Hotel

A special treat when I travel is to indulge in a day spa and the various treatments available such as facials, massage or mani/pedi. When I stayed at the Westin Capetown, I practically swooned in their spa and could have stayed for days in their relaxation room with the heated […]

Open Barn at Devon Horse Show

The Devon Horse Show – family fun and memories on the Main Line

Growing up, my knowledge of horses was limited to the racetrack, more specifically harness racing. My dad used to take me to the Liberty Bell racetrack in Bensalem on Saturday night.  We would enter after the 7th race (when entry was free) and if we were lucky someone would give […]

Birds on rocks along the South Coast of Dublin

The South Coast of Dublin photo tour

Looking at the options for conference attendees, I was excited to sign up for the Dublin photo tour of the South Coast with Dawn 2 Dusk.  A photography tour would ensure that I didn’t need to run ahead of the group for my photo and I didn’t need to hurry up […]
