Travel
Having just completed my four day journey from Philadelphia to Melbourne with an overnight flight from Singapore, I was hungry. With an early check-in to the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, I was eager to forage for food after reading so many fantastic articles about the Melbourne restaurant/food scene. But I had […]
Flying home from Seattle over the years, my only option was the direct USAirways (now American Airlines) flight, however, this visit, my travel agent suggested Alaska Airlines. Alaska Airlines started flying direct between Seattle and Philly, in June 2012, and brought some welcome competition to the segment. Despite that, I […]
There’s something about a water fountain that just fascinates me, from the first time I saw the Swann Fountain in Philadelphia to the jumping water fountain at Epcot as a child, I love them all. How they do what they do is pure science, what we see is pure magic, […]
I was desperate to escape the conference hotel where for the past two days I was stranded without a car and with nowhere to walk. The food on property was dreadful to the point where they overcooked the over easy eggs, dried out the pancakes and made frozen french fries […]
As a child, my sister and I often visited my grandparents for the day. My mom would drop us off and give us each $1.00 which in the 70’s/early 80’s was a lot of money with strong purchasing power in the candy store world. We would plan our strategy before […]

This week many of my travel friends are in Athens, Greece for the TBEX conference, sadly, I was unable to attend due to work commitments. I’m a bit (very) jealous not to be sharing the adventures with them this week so I thought I’d share some of my favorite Greece […]
The form asked “Do you like your Smile?” and I was stumped as I never really thought about my smile. Now, if it had asked “Do you like your thighs?” I would have immediately wrote “NO” in capital letters, double underlined, but that’s a given – what women loves her […]
It’s funny what you don’t see when it’s right in front of you – for years, I stayed in Park Lane across from Buckingham Palace and never entered the park preferring to stay on Piccadilly and use the Underground. This summer, I finally took that walk in the park – […]
When I lived with my parents, I didn’t need an alarm clock on Saturdays, I would smell the freshly baked Philly soft pretzels that my dad would bring home, steaming hot from the pretzel bakery. Years before I knew of calories counters, ingredient labels and generally all the stuff you […]
