This is the second part to the “Paris with Dad..” article. Dad and I went to Paris and Switzerland in the summer of 2015 to visit places he and mom had loved – favorite sites,  restaurants, and hotels.  I was there for ten days (five days in Paris and five days in Switzerland) and he […]

Paris with Dad remembering Mom

I aspire to be the world traveler my Dad is. Sure, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to exciting destinations like Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, England, and Switzerland, but Dad has been on around the world trips more than 15 times – he lives to travel! Even now well into retirement, Dad is planning a trip […]

    There’s something magical about the Hotel Del Coronado during the holiday’s, where the beauty of the coastline coexists with luxury holiday spirt. We booked our room at the Del months in advance for New Years Eve and when we heard the weather report we were prepared to stay in all night and listen […]

Some people don’t look forward to school, but I can’t wait for my classes! I’m enrolled in the San Diego State University Business of Wine certificate program and so far I’ve learned about Australian wines, pairing food and wine, exploring all wines and regions, wine faults and flaws, and now just finished the class “Wine […]

This is one of my family’s favorite restaurants in Carlsbad. Unpretentious ambiance, good service, and consistently good food for lunch and dinner. Several vegetarian choices too and the Thai tea is yummy. Choose your heat level from 1 to 10. Our favorite dishes are the coconut soup, pad Thai, penang curry, hawaiian fried rice, spring […]

San Diego’s Adams Ave Street Fair

People watching is my favorite thing to do at street fairs where there are all kinds! This year, while people watching and beer tasting at the Adams Avenue Street Fair, I was in search of colorful things at the vendor booths. Colorful things I found, and after the fourth craft beer things started to get […]

Imagine a venue at the end of a pier, with a panoramic view of the ocean, AND unlimited tastes of craft beer, wine, gourmet foods, and delectable desserts. A perfect night right? I had all that last night at the San Diego Reader Feast. We took the coaster train in from north county, which was […]

Tony’s Darts Away – Burbank CA

August 4, 2013

0

Tony’s Darts Away isn’t your typical bar. Sure they have a huge selection of craft brews and soccer, baseball, or football on the TVs throughout the room, but the bar food is a vegan’s dream. There is more on the menu for vegans than non vegans. In fact the menu, after two full pages of […]
