Stockholm: Family with young children (ages 5 and 2) what to do in summer?
We love to see things that are truly local when we travel. We want to experience the city the way a family with young kids would. Any activities would be great. And any noteworthy family friendly restaurants is MUCH appreciated. We will be staying in the center of... See More
New York City: New Cool/Hip/Good food?
I'm going to Manhattan for business but will have the chance to take in a couple of dinners. Are there any new places that I should try? Any food type or budget. Would love to try a place that is doing something different and cool. Thanks!! See More
Palm Springs: Top 3 activities to do in Palm Springs?
if you want to mix it up a bit and go check out one of the old school hollywood retreats (i'm talking Shirley Temple, Clark Gable and Frank Capra old school), I think the La Quinta Resort & Club is worth a stop. The grounds are nice. Book a... See More
Copenhagen: Hidden gems in Copenhagen?
If you're there in the summer on a weekend, call and order a fried chicken from Amass. It's one on the best restaurants in the city and the owner/chef is American. He makes a mean fried chicken and you can get it take out and eat it in... See More
Santa Fe (New Mexico): Accommodation (resort/spa) in Sante Fe?

People always ask my must-packs—what's one thing you never travel without?
I always bring a hoodie for the flight. If you get a seat right under the vent and it's blowing cold air the whole time, then I get sick for sure. I know, i'm an orchid, but seriously what is worse than being sick on a trip? So I compensate with layers that I can... See More
New Mexico: Four impromptu days in New Mexico In July
I think Taos is where you want to be. I've found Santa Fe to be nice but a little touristy. You need to work to get away from the touristy stuff. Taos obviously has some of that as well, but the art scene it more authentic and... See More
Santa Ynez: Any recommendations for wine tasting or romantic hotels in Santa Ynez?
check out Ballard Inn & Restaurant. It's quaint more so than romantic. But they have bikes you can ride to some nearby wineries. Pretty cool spot. The wedding party stayed here for my brother's wedding a few years back and it was nice. It's... See More
Scandinavia: Suggestions on a weekend itinerary in Scandinavia?
Sounds like a fun cruise Jaclyn! That will be some good family time. Here's what I'd do just because Copenhagen is topping my most favorite city list right now. Go a couple days early and hang out in Copenhagen. The city is small and charming... See More
