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 […]
Crossing the pond to London has become a yearly trek as part of my job (great perk, right?). There is, of course, a downside to the trek (cue tiny violins) – my agenda rarely gives me time to explore the city. Over the years, I’ve taken advantage of the free […]
I surprised my niece on Easter with the plane tickets, rather, the printout of the itinerary for our trip to Paris and London. With her initial excitement came the realization that Aunt Sue was going to make her work a bit prior to the trip in the form […]

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 […]
