Weekend Getaways
Wine & dine Temecula "staycation"
This wine tour and casino itinerary is an easy hour drive up I-15 away.
Confession time: as a San Diego resident, it took me almost a decade to go wine tasting in Temecula. I broke the spell when my best friend celebrated her birthday at Pechanga Resort and Casino. ...
Baseball game road trip to L.A.'s Echo Park
The Eastside neighborhood makes a Dodgers game worth the drive.
A few Saturdays ago, I spent some quality time in Los Angeles for a Dodgers game in Echo Park. I’d hadn’t been to one of their games in quite some time, but with my friend ...
Discovery and serenity in Cambria, CA
The Central Coast town offers a rare atmosphere of tranquility and peace.
When I think of Cambria, I often think of my Grandpa Bristol – outfitted in a pair of brown waders – prying large red abalones from tidepool rocks. The Bristol home was close to the ...
Explore North America
Into the West: Sedona & Grand Canyon road trip
Fit some of the best Southwest hikes and views into a long weekend.
For me, the Wild West was never something that piqued my interest. The desert, cowboys, the Gold Rush, saloons; it all seemed rather dusty and trite to me. That is until I got a chance ...
NY’s Finger Lakes: big city thrills, mountain town charm
When you think of little towns in Appalachia, it’s easy to make assumptions.
Usually, when you think of little towns in Appalachia complete with serene lakes, it’s easy to make assumptions on what you can do and see. Of course, you expect beauty and quiet relaxation. But the ...
Love for H-Town
The Big Star Bar and local craft brews overcome Houston's mosquito-revitalizing weather.
Ahh, Houston! As soon as I landed, my shirt got stuck to my body as I breathed in that humid thick air. Siri told me that my week visiting Texas for my cousin’s wedding was ...
I forge a Virginia ham trail
Virginia hams are country hams, but you can also get “city ham” there, too. Got this straight?
When you visit a region, its cuisine says as much about its culture as paintings in an art museum. Travelers rush to Napa Valley for wine, Wisconsin for cheese, Maine for lobster... but there’s just ...
Finding the iconic West in Monument Valley
Tour this rich desert landscape on the Utah-Arizona border with a Navajo guide.
“Be still and the earth will speak to you." ~ Navajo saying Monument Valley. Just the name conjures up images of the majestic, iconic buttes and classic western landscape so often seen in movies and ...
Go Abroad!
Panama City: since I was in the area...
Where to explore if you find yourself in Panama City, Panama.
A relatively short distance from San Diego (just a few small countries south of Mexico) lies Panama, the final Central American nation before you hit South America. Yet, for a tiny country, the capital, Panama ...
Wild Peninsula Valdez, Argentina
See orcas at the beach, where they belong.
I first became aware of this enormous peninsula years ago when I heard about the burgeoning whale-watching attraction there. A thousand miles south of Buenos Aires on the south Atlantic coast, this region lies at ...
Ancient Wroclaw, Poland
Crossroads of the pre-historic Amber Road and medieval Via Regia (“King’s Road”).
I visited Wroclaw, Poland, during an interesting time in history: it was the 100th anniversary of Poland’s independence, the 100th anniversary of the Armistice and the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht. As for Wroclaw itself, it ...
Changing Colombia
Urban exploring in the country's capital, Bogota.
Colombia: cartels and cocaine... rebel groups and terrorism... violent gangs and kidnappings. Those are some of the stereotypes, right? Well, although these problems haven't completely vanished, things have definitely improved to the point where most ...
Reykjavik: less like a tourist, more like a local
Solo traveling in Iceland done right.
Though it was not my first time in Iceland, it was my first time single and, for most of the time, without any travel companion. It turned out to be a fine thing. You can ...
