It may seem like an odd post to start the year but with plans to return to Disney this year and my love of most things Disney, it feels appropriate. This past fall I participated in my first runDisney race after a five year hiatus. It was great to be back to enjoy the...
We just returned from our first ever cruise and our first ever trip to Alaska. As someone who gets queasy looking at a boat in the harbor, a cruise was not my first choice but we were celebrating a mini family reunion which was reason enough to go. In the end, with...
Eating our way through Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park A few weeks ago we were in California for the return of the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend. While I was unable to register for a race, I was still there to support my friends and, of course, to...
After a long break due to the pandemic we finally made the trip to Seattle to visit family. To celebrate, my uncle took us to the iconic Salish Lodge & Spa for a special breakfast experience at The Dining Room. Beautiful location The Salish Lodge is...
Tantalizing Tastes from Savory to Sweet In Part 1, I shared a small selection of the Mickey-shaped and Instagrammable treats found throughout Disney World. Don't worry, there are still more to come but I wanted to share some of our go-to savory eats too. Savory...
Practically Photographic in Every Way We recently returned from a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando and thanks to all the walking we did (averaging 20,000 steps a day), we could indulge our cravings. By now I think most people realize that there is more to Disney...
Updated July 2022 Until a few years ago I never imagined that I could combine several of my favorite things - food, friends, Disney, and running (okay that last one isn't really a favorite) - into one fantastic experience. But as it turns...
In this last installment of my California food adventures I wanted to share with you something I only do with my friends from HB - going to Little India and the chaat shop to get Indian snack foods. Little India is located along a part of Pioneer Boulevard in Artesia...
Let me continue with the eating adventures we had on my recent trip to California. I took you through the first 24 hours. Now let me tell you about some old favorites and some new discoveries. (By the way, the lovely creature featured at the top is from our favorite...
It's another snowy day in New England and I find myself wishing I was back in Southern California as I was a few weeks ago. In spite of our friends' apologies for the "bad" weather, those of us from the East Coast were loving the warm 60-degree temperatures and not...
Exploring the city's fabulous food trucks Boston, New York, LA, Honolulu, Fort Worth - I've visited food trucks in all these cities and had some amazing meals. But I haven't experienced a food truck culture like the one in Austin. Last year before we left for SXSW I...
Austin is a great food town. I've been there a few times and I never feel that I have enough time. I was in Austin last month for SXSW Interactive. It's one of the times when I can mix business with pleasure. La Condesa Let's start with one of our favorite places - La...
Visiting the Fort Worth Food Park Last weekend I flew down to Fort Worth to attend the wedding of my foodie soul mate (whom I talked about in an earlier post) and his lovely bride. Not surprisingly, my visit included some delicious things to eat. On the first day I...
The time to not visit Boston is on or around September 1st. It's when all the yearly apartment leases turn over and when the more than 250,000 students flood back into the city for a new school year. Around that time, if I can possibly arrange it, I'm far,...
