I’ve always wanted to visit Georgia Tech. When I was in high school Atlanta seemed like a good place to escape to while earning an engineering degree as it was, and still is, highly ranked and regarded in the USA. Many of my good friends are from GA Tech, so I guess life had destined […]
You see them everywhere, wine tasters hauling a carseat or stroller with a baby or toddler inside. For those less fortunate, the 3+ kids are in tow with sad faces and uncontrollable fits of “Can we go now?”. If you must tour wineries with children or simply would like to know how to entertain them […]
The Washington State AVA (viticultural region appelation) is full of all types of grape, terrain and care. Red Mountain has a more acidic terrain, and the Columbia Valley has grapes up to Wazzu, literally. (WSU) If you want to taste them all, you will need a few weeks to navigate the entire Yakima Valley and […]
One of my friends came to the city this fine 4th of July weekend. They put her up in the downtown Fairmont Olympic Hotel, right in the middle of all the action. I was pleasantly surprised to learn two things: #1 The hotel was the original site of the University of Washington and #2 That […]
After 11 years in the Pacific Northwest, I can count with my fingers how many times I have had breakfast foods in Seattle, mostly because it is only a request I get from the tourists. For some reason brunch is a very popular thing to do while on vacation. Must be because a lot of […]
As one of my friends put it, June was a month full of wake up calls for Puerto Rico. Everything happened! The month started with the Givernor declaring that the Island was broke and wanted to declare bankruptcy, a right that States have because they are part of the Union. Quickly Congress scrambled to put […]
As I type this, 36 families will received news that their loved one perished and 147 families will receive word that their loved one was injured. In Ataturk Airport in Istambul, three men armed with AK-47s and bombs detonated their vests in the main terminal, claiming it was for their cause. It is not certain […]
It’s me again, flying from the Pacific Northwest to the east coast. On many occasions I have noticed that your Premium and Sky boarding zones are jam packed with people to the point it isn’t even a perk anymore to carry the prestige of these boarding calls. As your Medallions fight to the death to […]
The last time I went to Chicago was to celebrate my 30th birthday. Yay! This very important milestone required four star treatment so my husband booked us a room at the famous Drake hotel (referenced in the original Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie), and I got courtside seats (well row 8) to a Chicago Bulls vs. […]
Technology has connected the farthest reaches of the world with the push of the button. Airlines connect any two cities of the world with powerful single and twin aisle aircraft. You can be in another place in a matter of minutes or hours, and unless you are walking, driving cross country or on a boat, […]
