At the top of my “to do” list was a unique Miraval experience – they have a few, but I was interested in the Equine Experience. The sign up sheet process was a bit complicated. As I arrived on Sunday, the session was full on Monday. So i had only […]
When you first check in to Miraval Spa in Tucson, you are seated in a leather chair that is quite comfortable. Your room is first explained to you and you are then shown the bedroom showcase – apparently, just like the Westin Heavenly Bed (I have the pillows) or Four Seasons […]
Leaving the cold behind in April, I boarded the first of two Southwest flights on my way to Tucson, Arizona. Changing planes in Chicago was easy enough in the terminal, I had enough time for a quick walk to get a snack before having to line up by number (quite […]

So, traveling by bike to learn about the city was fast becoming my new favorite activity. With the two bike tours of Santiago, Chile, I was feeling more comfortable with this mode of transit so I figured why not do the Bike Tour of Lima? I think I could have […]
