Holiday Gift Ideas: Romantic Ski Weekend Package USA

Published by

More than any material gift, I prefer a good weekend getaway, a romantic one if I can make it happen. Although simply being tucked under a blanket in front of a fireplace, with views of white powder from every window in a cabin is romantic enough, with or without someone by your side. With someone is always best 🙂 If you happen to be like me, where traveling is your idea of the perfect gift, then consider , this, or this, or this,  or this for that special someone in your life.

Travel: The World and If Not Then Italy

Year in and year out, I do my best not to include Italy in my annual trip to Europe because I think I’ve seen it all.

Boutique Hotel Picks from Rawsilkandsaffon

I’ve been writing about boutique hotels for a while on this blog, listing all of the ones I’ve stayed in, or simply walked through, or even considered writing about in my novels.
