Vacations are the best, especially if you’re going to a dream destination. In the beginning, travel was always to get away from the laborious daily routine for my hubby and I. When it was over, it was sadly over and back to the grind it was. Not very inspiring. I can imagine it’s this way for many folks out there….
I know nothing about sail boats but when I saw an “Authentic America’s Cup Racing Experience,” in St. Maarten was available, I thought how fun it would be to compete and be on a legendary 12 Metre Class race boat. This excursion was available through our cruise line, Windstar, during our holiday trip mid December 2018. The vendor was 12…

Destinations, Do, Luxury Hotels, Stay, Tropical Paradise, Unique Excursions and ToursBora Bora is the ultimate spot for Romance in Paradise. It’s no surprise it is the number one sought after luxury Honey Moon destination. We visited the island in May 2016 to celebrate our newfound successes that year. After 22 hours of travel time from Seattle, a couple of layovers, and the red eye, we awoke to the most pristine…
When we heard San Francisco now ranks the Top City in the US for having the most 3 Star Michelin restaurants, we had to check out the venue that made it happen. Coi received its third star for the 2018 edition. For years it was at 2 stars under the owner Daniel Patterson. With the artistry of Chef Matthew Kirkley,…
This recipe is straight from Tuscany! We learned to make this at a Tuscan Farmhouse in Italy during a Cooking Tour. It was part of 4 course feast and it turned out awesome!

Finally got a reservation to this exceptional restaurant. Every course was delectable, but the Foie Gras was the best I’ve had anywhere. The non-alcoholic drink pairings to each course was also amazing. Loved how the Chef put a lot of creativity and thought into the zero-proof drinks, each was distinct in taste and complimented the meal perfectly. It was difficult…
This meal in 2014 had a lot of sentimental value to me. It was a delectable way of celebrating my hubby’s acceptance into a prestigious medical Fellowship. I noted the following from 2014, “What better way to celebrate success than in the Trump Tower. As I ate this meal, I enjoyed connecting the dots with Mike and how much sacrifice…
Dined at Chef’s counter tonight to see the action. We had the best hushpuppies ever and the duck with orange chips was superb. This new restaurant was recently opened by my favorite Chef, Grant Achatz, known for his famous restaurant Alinea. Unlike Alinea, its ambiance is much more casual and the food was of a familiar variety only elevated. Of…
It’s been awhile since we had a meal this thought provoking. We spent most of the time wondering what we were eating, and left only knowing that we liked it. The food was strangely good. There’s a new Chef 👨🍳 in town, and he is zealous to say the least. Impressively, the restaurant earned it’s Michelin star in only 6…
OMG, Thai Michelin restaurants exist? Indeed it does in San Francisco. Thai food can be hit or miss, but this one hits it out the park. The flavors were not overly salty or sweet, just delicious. The chicken wings are a must!
Wow, really enjoyed dinner. The plating of this tasting menu had simplicity, but with a melody of accents that make a statement at this unassuming restaurant. The unanticipated textures were enough to be interesting, yet the flavors were seamless. The wagyu was excellent and cooked to perfect temperature. The broths in the entrees had complexity in flavors but were smooth…
Jean Georges located in The Trump Hotel in NYC is a hopping place. Having a Central Park location probably helps with the foot traffic. Our meal started out rather unimpressive. The bread basket they offered was cold and stale tasting. However, it did get better when the courses started coming out. My favorite for the evening was the perfectly poached…
