There are many, many different ways to explore San Juan, Puerto Rico. You can spend your time soaking up the sun and never leave your luxe resort--for that I recommend W Vieques or El Conquistador. You can hop the islands, go snorkeling, conquer El Yunque natural rainforest and eat and drink to your heart's desire. There's plenty to see and do for the trendsetters too with PR's vibrant nightlife, music and dining scene. But today, I'm going to take you on a tour of the top three we did on our ... View the Post
My Packing Secrets
When you're a pilot's daughter, it's pretty safe to say you've traveled a time, or two. Sprinkle in a few luxury press trips and your run-of-the-mill jetset bug and yeah, I've packed! A lot. Even though I'm tempted to somehow stuff my entire closet into my suitcase, I don't. And you shouldn't either. Travel light with my packing secrets. Packing Cubes Before my recent trip to Canada, I stumbled upon eBags Packing Cubes and I have no idea how I've lived so long without them! They're ... View the Post
{Jetset} A Stay at Amara Resort & Spa in Sedona
When you just have a baby, things get crazy. Crazy, I tell ya! So when we were invited on a Staycation to Amara Resort & Spa in Sedona, it was just what the doctor ordered. A short home-away-from-home trip that's just long enough to feel gone but short enough to try with a newborn? I'm all over that. I had stayed at Amara Resort & Spa in Sedona in the past, but not since their $1 million redesign and becoming part of the Kimpton family of hotels. They're a reliable brand and I love ...

{Jetset} Babymooning in La Jolla
I have been very, very bad about sharing travel posts lately. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm still delayed on my Europe trip from last year--yikes! Truth be told, it's hard to sort through so many options and when I'm out having a good time, I completely forget about taking photos. I feel like that's something sinful to say when you have a blog that depends on photos and stories, but hey, sometimes you get wrapped up living your life! This year, we were much more calm on the travel front. After ... View the Post
Sizzlin’ Summer Staycation: Hotel Palomar Phoenix
It's no secret that this dry desert has plenty of great Staycation offers this time of year. After all, many tourists are freaked out at just the sound of triple-digit heat. But for us locals, it's a great opportunity to enjoy the deals and explore a bit of the city, too. And one sizzlin' staycation that's doing it right is Hotel Palomar Phoenix at Cityscape. Unless you live in Downtown Phoenix, chances are you haven't been in awhile. Which is one of the reasons why this staycation made my ... View the Post
Weekend Things: From Russia, With Love
There is so much to say about my recent trip to Moscow, Russia, that a weekend update just won't cover it. (I suppose that's why I tend to write magazine articles about these things since short just isn't my forté!) It was funny to both my hubby and I the impression everyone had of this city before we went: "Is it safe to travel there?" "What is there to see?" and "Why don't you just go to Mexico?" were seriously some of the questions we got. Well, let me just say this: the city is beautiful, ... View the Post
