This past September (trip #18) we again chose a WDW monorail hotel, and stayed at the Polynesian hotel. And we splurged and upgraded to the concierge category. Was the pampering worth

As a foodie in training, I love Artisan bread. My friends at C’est Bon Cooking tell me that Artisan means the Art Is In the bread. And this newbie foodie loved her visit to the CuisinArt Resort in Anguilla in June. To me, CuisinArt means the Art is in the Cuisine. The CuisinArt Resort is owned by Leandro Rizzuto of the Conair Corporation and

My tagline is “Made-to-measure travel: Please, go away!” Clever? I hope. Catchy? Perhaps. Punny? 🙂 . The idea behind my tagline is to have a phrase that you’ll associate with me. For new clients, I hope the second half of the tag will stand out enough that if you’re thinking of going away, you’ll think to call me so I can help you “please,

Today is November 11th. And at the 11th hour on this 11th day of the 11th month, we should all stop to remember. Whether we call it Remembrance Day (through the Commonwealth) or Veteran’s Day (in the US), we all pause to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Veterans’ Affairs in Canada posts a
