Weekend Wanderlust: Dominican Republic
I just returned from a wedding in the Dominican Republic – as a guest! The backdrop was breathtaking: sunshine, warm breezes, sand between our toes and friends to share in it all. Today, weddings are often more than just a great party; they are a reunion for family and old friends, too. Destination weddings, in […]
We’ll Always Have Paris
As you know, Paris has a special place in my heart. After three decades of visiting, I’m amazed that there’s always something new to discover and fall in love with.

Seattle Highlights
I have recently returned from a week in Seattle and a successful corporate event for one of my clients. It had been 12 years since I last visited Seattle, and while a lot has changed, it still felt like the charming, small city I remembered. I added the weekend so I could check out some […]
Destination Costa Rica
Last week, my best friend and I flew down to Costa Rica for a few days to celebrate her birthday. It was a spontaneous trip, so I went knowing very little about the country and what to expect. I was overwhelmed by the abundant natural beauty, friendliness of the people and dramatic vistas from every […]
Dinner with Gwyneth Paltrow

However, I did enjoy several of Gwyneth’s recommended restaurants, including two incredible, life-changing meals at her favorite restaurant. Next time you are in London, I strongly recommend reserving a table at one of these fabulous restaurants. […]
