By Tom on May 14, 2013 We love taking periodic New York City trips. We don’t go as often now that we live on the west coast, but we still try to get there at least once a year. When we go, our key objectives are usually:
Catching up with theater, new restaurants, museum exhibits and art galleries Revisiting as many [Read more ...]

Category: Dining, Featured-Trips, Fredericksburg, Hill Country, Learning, National Parks, Sightseeing, Texas By Tom on March 9, 2013 The Monterey Peninsula, and south through Big Sur, is one of our favorite three/four-day trips. It has some of everything: incredible scenery, hiking, wineries, beautiful homes, the iconic 17 Mile Drive, very good restaurants, luxurious accommodations, kayaking, horseback riding, and as much world-class golf as anyone could wish. And don’t forget what may well be [Read more ...]
