A Shot of Wander

A Shot of Wander

I recently stumbled upon a digital wonderment full of nostalgia at its best form. I was impressed!  And when I read that Dear Photograph the Book is now available in book stores, my first thought — great holiday gift this year! “Dear Photograph,  Thank you for reminding me that if I wait just a little longer the … Continue reading »

Power of the Paddle

Power of the Paddle

I was cordially invited by my enthusiastic Disney-fanatic,  district sales manager, Frank Westphal, to an informal presentation on how to see South Africa, China, Greece, Australia — to see the world through the magic of Disney.  I arrived at the designated venue, a legendary place called the Metropolitan Ballroom.  Looking from the outside, surrounded by highrise offices buildings, looks very typical –  similar to a one story strip mall complex.  But once … Continue reading »

Grandio Galapagos!

Grandio Galapagos!

Just imagine it… snorkeling in crystalline waters; sea turtles and penguins by your side — and seeing blue footed boobies flying around! Whaaat!  Galapagos is truly “the” remarkable experience everyone boasts about, and yes, it awaits those who appreciate nature’s most greatest abundance! So much has been said, read, and captured about this place. So, for this post, I am … Continue reading »

The Masters? The Willcox!

The Masters? The Willcox!

Yeah! I got the email!  Although I shouldn’t be too excited —  it was just a message letting me know I could “apply” for tickets to the 2013 Master’s Golf tournament , which approval of said application, is only by a random selection.  So, with all those other applicants; my chances are pretty slim, but I can always wish, right? This … Continue reading »

Top Adventurous Drives with the Top Off

Top Adventurous Drives with the Top Off

I remember the feeling when I received my permit to drive at 15 years young — the roads I explored; the destinations I discovered; and the relationships built along the way, and since then I remain appreciative of the privilege. To have the sense of freedom and innocence when a leisure drive is by choice –  the journey is pure poetry in motion. From Italy’s Dolomite Road to New Zealand’s … Continue reading »

Hang-Loose and a Touch of Disney

Hang-Loose and a Touch of Disney

Situated on twenty-one acres of Ko’Olina at Oahu’s leeward shores, every aspect of this resort experience is inspired by the culture, traditions, and the Aloha hospitality.  Combined with world-class service and that “touch of Disney magic”, welcome to Aulani – designed in essence of ohana! I love this side of Oahu!  To put into context,  I found Ko’Olina to be quieter and more convenient place —  far enough away from … Continue reading »

A is for Aegean

A is for Aegean

Hmmm…as I browse through my personal catalog of travel brochures today — I sit. I wonder.  To speculate a corner of the Mediterranean Sea regardless of the uneasines from its economic hardship; here, I am simply reminded of dramatic coastlines and wondrous bright beauty, and the wanting to be in the places and spaces within the Islands of Greece.  In my quest for the perfect dreamy honeymoon … Continue reading »

Free of Charge in Victoria

I love all things stunning, imaginable, and of course sustainable!  And when I found out that Fairmont Hotels in Vancouver and Victoria have recently received many accolades for their sustainable tourism efforts, I had to share their story! Out of all the Fairmont branded hotels, my fond memories lie with the Fairmont Empress.  I am … Continue reading »
