Relationship of sorts – Myth or Not

I honestly could be engrossed in grocery shopping and an idea pops into my head about…whatever. And just last night while at the local produce store picking peaches, I remembered just how great my ‘hubs’ and I felt every time we came back from vacation.  And that thought led to – does real love exist?  And all of a sudden I felt the need to shift gears…to…dogs, and how they  react to things, and people, and are also affected by events that take place in their owners lives and then all of a sudden this and that happened and I found a few topics I wanted to share and gather up your opinions about:

Boutique Hotel Pick – L’Albergo della Regina Isabella – Ischia, Italy

This hotel I found, when I did my daily ritual of reading about my celebrity crush – Gerard Butler. Who is currently in Italy attending a festival of sorts and then some. I’ve been to Italy a million times, but have never ventured to Ischia. The most has been Capri.  So, it’s wonderful to discover and based on all that I have read about this wonderful destination – I am definitely in!

Travel: Let’s Talk U.S.

I seldom mention travel in or around the U.S. – I suppose it’s because I take this amazing country for granted. But I’ve made my way throughout parts of the 50 states and truth be told kind of feel envious of those that have covered all 50 or even 30. Like my old travel boss, or a couple of good friends that recently posted on Facebook a map detailing all that they have covered or seen throughout this interesting country some of us call home. Note to self – or bucket list – cover all 50 states. In the meantime, here’s a quick and dirty on America:

Decor: Romantic Outdoor Seating

Since I live in San Francisco, porch sitting or patio and backyards are seldom a thing. I mean in some neighborhoods maybe – but overall not really. The locals tend to bolt out the door when the sun is shining – to the beach, or to the park, and even a walk across the Golden Gate. That’s how we city folk roll 🙂 But if I were to own a property say just 40 miles south, or east, I would, hands down, go for something like these  and those  

Travel: Paris – That’s All

The song Paris by the Chainsmokers is on repeat in my head today, and I think it’s because I’m itching to go again.  I mean I did in March, but it was only for 3 days – as you know that’s not enough. Even for someone like me who’s been there at least a week each year for as long as I can remember. So, if you are like me – craving a week or two or three in Paris – then you might very well appreciate:  Which Paris Neighborhood fits your personality best – test 2. Discover Paris from Instagram 3.
