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 […]

Bite San Diego – gourmet walking food tours

July 29, 2013

0

Fun way to explore an area either close to home or for visitors. This three hour walking tour priced at $45 each took us to 6 different delightful restaurants and sweet shops. Not too much walking in between each stop, probably a mile or two total walking. My tour had 12 people, most with LivingSocial […]

Fort Collins, CO – It’s all country & beer

July 23, 2013

A year ago, when my son Jordan said he was going to move to Fort Collins, CO to go to college, I was sad he was moving so far away. A two-hour plane ride from San Diego and then one hour drive north of Denver, Fort Collins is home to one of my favorite breweries […]

Yosemite

June 28, 2013

1

When I need peace and balance in my life I go out and immerse myself in nature. This trip was to Yosemite. My friend called me crazy for wanting to go just for the weekend, but that’s all my work schedule would allow. I told her, Ya it is crazy but will be so worth […]

Memorial Day – Coronado Island

May 29, 2013

2

I love spending the day in Coronado Island, and the experience starts when crossing over the bridge, looking at the sailboats, downtown panorama, and the feeling of anticipation for a fun carefree day. I live in North San Diego so when visitors come from out of town I like taking them to a few places […]

Maui – Day Three

May 23, 2013

0

Today we set out to experience (and survive) the road to Hana. Several people told us leave early! Why I wondered, it is only 50 miles, but takes a minimum of two hours to get to Hana. Not only due to the 600 curves and turns, 57 bridge crossings, but this one lane road has […]

Day two started out with another trip back to maui’s Kahului airport to pick up Jordan and Ashley. We greeted them with Orchid leis and set off for the condo near Kaanapali, which should have taken 45 minutes but took us four hours. I’m hungry and I want to shower, were Jordan’s first words after […]
