Okay, you are not married – maybe never want to be – but what if you could have an imaginary wedding just for fun? That’s what one enterprising tour group is offering for women in Japan. This tour is the brain child of Cerca Travel in Kyoto. While they offer many tour packages in this…

The Club at PHX: Phoenix’s New Airport Club is Open to All
Recently opened, The Club at PHX by Airport Lounge Development (ALD) is on my go-to list on my next trip through the Phoenix airport. While I haven’t had the chance to visit this club yet, I wanted to share the news in the event your travels will be taking you to or through PHX. The…
My Cruise ‘Office’ for the Day
Looking out a big window overlooking the sea while in a nice business class seat — not a bad place to ‘office’ for the day. I’m on a multi-week client trip in the south of Norway in the dead of January and wanted a way to see more of the area yet still get some…
World of Chocolate Museum Giveaway
Museums are a fun and interesting part of travel and I just learned of a museum in Orlando that sounds like it would be a great time – the World of Chocolate Museum. Yes, chocolate! I received this letter and package from the museum so thought I’d share since many of you travel to Orlando for conferences…
Pilot Your Own Lamborghini With Exotic Driving Experience
“This car is unlike anything you’ve ever driven,” my instructor said over the roar of a 560 horsepower engine. That could be the understatement of the year. I was driving a Lamborghini Gallardo around the inside track of Daytona International Speedway, and kept saying to myself, “Wow, he’s not kidding.” Of course this didn’t happen…
Arrr, Those Bloomin’ Cherry Blossoms!
Last year, my husband and I trekked to Washington, DC for one purpose – enjoy the sight, smell, and touch of cherry blossoms. It was not as big a deal for him as he grew up there but for me, a Chicago native, it has been an annual bucket list desire for years. I have…
A Roundup of Mother’s Day Specials
Mother’s Day is coming soon and I’ve been thinking about a gift for my Mom – something beyond the typical flowers, clothes and greeting card. My Mom loves travel just about as much as I do. It never takes any effort to twist her arm to go off on a getaway weekend or a new…
The ULTIMATE Travel Destination?
I travel very frequently but it is a rare destination that would be called exotic. Some are pretty exciting, but at least by my definition, calling a location ‘exotic’ is saved for things like a landing on Antarctica, trekking across the Serengeti, or climbing the world’s highest mountains. Perhaps all of them will be removed…
My Inaugural Stay at Aloft Hotel
This week I stayed at an Aloft hotel in the Houston Galleria area. I have been a frequent Starwood guest at their other properties such as St. Regis, Westin and Sheraton but this was my first time at Aloft. Aloft definitely fits its style to be modern, fresh and fun. Instead of a typical staid…
San Antonio: What to Do, Where to Eat, and Where to Stay
Deep in the heart of Texas lies San Antonio, the 2nd largest city in Texas and the nation’s 7th largest. I recently took a break from my business travel lifestyle and switched into vacation mode, visiting both downtown San Antonio and the surrounding area. I crammed a lot into a few short days, but if…
