    I wanted to love this trip. I really did. But There was a lot left to be desired. First and foremost I’ll keep this strictly on the cabin and not the rest of the weekend. Perhaps I’ll tell you more about the weekend in another post. But for this let’s stay on Getaway shall we?…

    Paella is regarded as the national dish of Spain and is THE dish to get while in Valencia. I have not had the chance to go to Valencia yet, but I have spent quite a bit of time in Barcelona. On my last trip, I had 5 nights in Barcelona and had paella every single…

    194 Park Ave Portland, Maine Checked out the original location on Park Ave. A couch with a table of chairs around a coffee table, 2 2 tops, and about 5 stools make up the seating space for this hugely popular establishment. (All of which are by the door brrrrrrr in the winter– dress accordingly.)  I…

    A couple weeks ago I wrote about my first time ever Horseback riding which was in Napoli in September of 2015. We rode up Mt. Vesuvius. So obviously being in another land with volcanoes I knew I had to keep up the trend and ride a horse in Iceland too. During my final weekend in…

    In May of 2013 I went down to the Amalfi Coast for the very first time. As someone who likes to have a bit of a plan going into anything I did a search on the Goggle for things to do. One of the things that popped up was to do a hike called The…

    I fell in love in Iceland.  Not in the way I fell in love in Italy.  In Italy, from the moment I arrived I felt like I had come home.  And with home, you love it, but there are things you also hate about it.  It’s crazy and chaotic, but you really wouldn’t have it…

    Growing up in Connecticut I remember summers spent with visits to Quassy Amusements. Quassy is on the smaller side when it comes to amusement parks both with the kinds of rides available and actual footprint of the park. Though there is some stuff for older kids and adults there is plenty for the younger tots…

    A little background on me. I’ve been saying for most of my adult life that Prince Harry was my backup plan. It was all a joke until he married Meghan Markle, a woman with my first name, also Catholic, also not from England, also not fully white, and who happened to also be an actor…

    The Fontana di Trevi doesn’t feel like any fountain I had seen before.  I’m used to the ones in malls and parks and even though Buckingham Fountain in Chicago and Bethesda Fountain in New York City are both pretty, they are nothing compared to the Fontana di Trevi. As I followed the signs to get to the Fontana di Trevi…

    As we continue dealing with this global pandemic the Lavender Fields of Provence France are  out of the question as the E.U. is not accepting Americans. So, this had me searching out another opportunity. I stumbled upon Lavender Pond Farm. Lavender Pond Farm is located in Killingworth, CT. My kiddo and I headed over there…
