Fall. Perfect.

There's nothing like a perfect fall weekend in New England.

Food on the go!

Notes from a Small Island...

I love travel writing. I just finished re-reading this old favorite from Bill Bryson, Notes From a Small Island...

How time flies

It's almost the end of summer. The shortening of the days adds insult to injury. I've always been a morning person, I love rising with the sun. I take some of my best photos when I'm out early. Places like London and Las Vegas are so different when their streets are quiet and empty, eerie almost.

Fall and winter have their own lovely qualities but the long days of summer are this traveller's favorite. I will miss them. 

My fall trips are coming together. San Diego, DC, London and new to the line up - Paris. Exciting things to look forward to, softening the blow put upon me by shorter days and colder temps. I expect one day I will wake up and love the harsh chill of winter but until then, I'll be out soaking up as much daylight as I can. 

My days...

Beautiful Sunday Morning

My nieces have got me into this Selfie Sunday picture taking thing. I'm actually enjoying it. Seeing myself at my most relaxed, which I tend to be on Sunday morning.

Today's adventure: Odysseo by Cavalia. Full report after the show!

London Calling

This spring’s trip to London consisted of beautiful side trips, via train, to Portmeirion and Edinburgh.

Are you recycling?

Saturday morning is my cleaning time. I'm energized by the start of the weekend, and full of lofty ideas to make my home life more relaxing and calm.

Recycling is more than just separating your paper, plastic and glass.

LA…in February

I am one of approximately 3000 people who go to Los Angeles in February every year to spend the weekend inside. President’s Day weekend is Gallifrey weekend. As an [almost] life-long Doctor Who fan, this is the Doctor Who event of the year.

New York, New York

January 2013

New York in January is cold. But also beautiful and relatively quiet. I haven’t been a tourist in NYC since high school; suffice it to say that it was a looooong time ago. I’ve never ridden the subway. I’ve always had a per diem and someone else paying for the hotel. I’ve always taken the Acela.

2013, where did you go?

The summer is over. I've done a lot of traveling this year and I'm tasking myself with recapping it so I don't forget...
