I believe you will want to read this one all the way to the end…especially if you spent hours, maybe days weeding through all the travel sites online to find your last vacation. Was it everything you thought it would be? And did everything go exactly as planned? If so, then you are one of […]
When the Cincinnati Ski Club asked me to become their Vice President of Travel, I said, “Of course”! My responsibility would be travel that is at least one overnight. “I do this for a living”, I thought. “This will be fun!” Shortly afterward, a member handed me a piece of paper with the suggestion of […]
Los Cabos, Mexico is such a lovely place. The desert meets the sea…where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean at the tip of the Baja Peninsula. I visit regularly, and always stay at the Solmar resort Playa Grande near the port. My favorite room location at this four star villa hotel is on […]
Ahhhhh, travel is such a beautiful way to quiet the chatter in our minds, and allows us a reconnect with nature, family, or a passion we don’t have time for in “real” life. Vacation=heart-centered travel. When planning your next journey, how would it feel to add a juicy side excursion to feed your soul? What […]
It’s been about 15 years since my family was in Yosemite National Park. My boys were in high school and college. Last week I had the pleasure of accompanying my two youngest and girlfriends to hike, and boy, did we hike! The trip confirmed that I am a tree-hugger to the nth degree. I have […]

But you can opt for the digital version for just $10 a year…and even if you are not able to travel physically very much, the writing […]
Well-Traveled Thoughts: When a good song comes on the radio, I turn it up, so I can hear and feel the beat. When I see a beautiful sight, I want to connect with it on as many levels as I possibly can. Is this the definition of experiential travel? Seeing through the eye is just […]
London views: historic and euphoric. On this, my very first visit, three days allowed me to see the tip of the iceberg. On the surface you see the international city with it’s melting pot of races, religions and customs. You see the iconic buildings, the unique public squares and parks, the double-decker busses and Tube […]
Having just returned from a 10-night vacation in England, my very first, the memories are still fresh in my mind. I hope you enjoy traveling with me through my I-Phone photos. This vacation was built around both a business meeting with a colleague and the wedding of my friend Pam’s daughter. What a joy it […]
