I recently went on my very first river cruise as the guest of Uniworld Cruises. This cruise took me back to my favorite French city, Bordeaux, where I was able to visit some places I fell in love with during my previous visit to the region. I was traveling on my own, a strange experience in an environment where most travelers are there as couples or families. And unlike the bigger cru[...]
The Loire Valley in Central France is often called The Garden of France due to its many vineyards. Celebrated for its architecture, wine, and historic destinations - many of which are UNESCO Heritage Sites - this is a beautiful area to visit if you love wine, nature, and don't mind driving to get to either or both. That is because many of the towns that make up the valley, such as Ambo[...]
The first time I ever took an RV vacation was when I was about 6 years old. My father, mother, and I ventured from New York City to Florida. You would think I wouldn’t remember that trip, but there are a few things about it that I have never forgotten. Like watching the sunsets during the long drives my dad would insist on. Or my frustration that our little black and white, portable t[...]
That's right, my friends. I'm going back to France. There's so much more to see and do. I will be in France for a total of 35 days, meeting my family towards the latter part for our epic Storybook adventure. But before we get too ahead of ourselves, I wanted to let you know where I will be the weeks before that in the hopes that you will follow along and keep me company, as you so of[...]
Sometimes you visit a place that becomes difficult to describe in words. I remember visiting Santa Fé for the first time a few years ago, and the words I shared then and the ones that stay with me every time I talk about it is how the colors make it impossible to take a bad photograph there. How I understood why Santa Fé had this ability to draw artists and writers into its fold and i[...]
I have learned a lot from my visits to France. Some of it being how much I so enjoy the countryside. Granted, I haven't really gotten to see too many coastal towns, but the countryside, the smaller cities, and vineyards are my absolute favorite destinations. It's a combination of things; the slower pace, the friendlier, more patience faces, and the natural beauty. I think everyone should[...]
The immensity and spectacle of colors seen at the Grand Canyon is something most of us have heard about, but few of us can really explain in a way that would do justice to what it is like to actually being there. During the Whiskey Sister HERstory Tour, we got to stop here. We had planned to only stay long enough to take some photos and have lunch, but it was clear that a quick first v[...]
My family and I are huge fans of staycations. They encourage us to still go out and discover something new together closer to home. Toyota contacted me recently and asked me to check out their 2014 Highlander for a few days. Of course, testing out cars means weekend fun for us, so we were not only excited to see what this vehicle had to offer, but what where it would inspire us to go.[...]
For the past 6 days I have traveled in a road vehicle (RV) with 5 other women for Whiskey Sister and in search of women's in history along the Southwest. One of the things that people have started asking us is whether we are ready to kill each other. The answer is no, though none of us will deny that there have been moments here and there where getting out of the RV and putting a litt[...]
