Finding resorts near New York City where you can enjoy swimming, golf, and other summertime pleasures is easy. But finding full-service resorts near New York that are affordable and offer great activities in fall, winter, and spring is not so easy. The good news for folks in and around the tri-state (New York, Connecticut, New Jersey) area -- and for visitors to Manhattan who want to see something else on t
The e-mail from my cousin in Mexico was fraught with anxiety.
She had lived in Puerto Vallarta for many years, and had settled down and married a wonderful Mexican man. Their life in Puerto Vallarta had been a simple one, but a happy one. They were both happy at their jobs, and life in this scenic west-coast resort city was buoyed by the constant stream of tourists from the visiting cruise ships. And this blessed white-washed city seemed to be a million miles away from the violence raging in much
After our Barcelona/Paris trip in the spring of ‘08 we were trying to figure out where our Thanksgiving trip would be. We started punching in airports to see where we could get a reasonable fare to and Cairo came
up. A new continent, exciting culture; and the Pyramids- I was very
excited! We flew from Minneapolis to Amsterdam and had 8 hours to spend
in the city walking around. Amsterdam is a great layover spot and is
really easy to take the train from the airport to have a day to see all
the great a

La Gare is in the very posh 16th arrondissement and is located in an old trainstation. The place is just oozing with histor
Continuing on in Thursday fun, Travel Thursday is a fun day for me. I love looking back at pictures and thinking about all the trips we havebeen on. This week is Paris, a continuation of our Barcelona trip andParis is special enough that a post only about Paris was needed.

The metro isthe best and m

David Vergari ~ The Legacy Man
I'd like you to meet the newest member of the Thornton Winery (Temecula Valley,CA) family, winemaker David Vergari. I set down for a meet and greet with David this week and what I found was a smart, outgoing, engaging man who unselfishly shares his time, talent and skills with those that cross his path. My sense of it is that we have a "Legacy Man" here. One that has a thoughtful idea of what AVA he's come to, what his tools and trials will be , and what his legacy
