Picking back up where we left off, the best ways to spend your time in Anchorage.
First, I hope you caught my blog on Alyeska Nordic Spa. If you are in Anchorage long enough to squeeze in a visit to this beautiful property and spend some time at the spa, I highly recommend it.
Summertime in Anchorage means super-lengthy stretches of sunlight, so I made the best of that after my meetings. One evening I rented a bike for an hour, and it was plenty of time for my slew of photos and detours as I made my way along the coastline. The guys at the bike rental recommended I check out Earthquake Park. This is the site of devastation from the second-strongest earthquake ever recorded in human history, 9.2 magnitude. In 1964 this part of Anchorage saw its landscape change forever. It is truly a sight to see.

No moose sightings but enjoyed the fresh air and biking.

Another evening I enjoyed a visit to Anchorage Museum, home of one of the largest collections of cultural objects of The First Peoples of Alaska: Living Our Cultures, Sharing Our Heritage. It is a beautiful showcase of how diverse Alaska’s heritage is. I really felt like I was in another country. You’ll also find modern art produced by Alaskan artists; it’s very fun and beautiful. One of my favorites were the polar bears.

Loved my visit to Anchorage Museum.

600 artifacts showcasing the everyday life of The First Peoples of Alaska.

Check out the numerous languages spoken across Alaska.

A fun representation of the magnificent creatures.
I must say, besides the bomb breweries I found, there were some really surprising eateries. You’ll find I already shared some in the first installment of Anchorage blog. I found a great ramen place that also offers up some very beautiful and delicious mixology, Whisky & Ramen. I must confess I ended up hanging out at 49th State Brewery a second time because I liked it there so much.

Give the Dark Horse a try. It has a little bit of a kick, but the flavors work so well together, even someone not so good with spice can handle it.

The BB Queen has an Instagram-able presentation. It was so good I forgot to tape it.

Apr 18, 2025Wellness Comes Naturally in Greenville, South Carolina
Strolling through downtown Greenville, South Carolina, it’s easy to see why the city ranks high among the best places to live in the United States: Shops, restaurants and coffee bars line the streets; there are also performance venues, hotels and outdoor plazas. But what really sets this upstate city of just more than 78,000 residents apart are the easily accessible parks and walking trails encouraging both residents and visitors to explore the city by foot or cycle (both handcycles and adaptive bikes are available to rent). Even better, as Greenville continues to grow, city planners and major employers work together to expand these opportunities. When Greenville’s Swamp Rabbit Trail, for instance, opened in 2009, the paved, multiuse pathway ran about 9 miles from the heart of Greenville to the town of Traveler’s Rest.

Apr 16, 2025Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz Review
Switzerland’s most storied ski town (the one, in fact, credited with pioneering the very concept of Alpine tourism), St. Moritz legendarily attracts the rich, the famous, celebutantes and the wannabes. Yet, there’s something compellingly earthy about the place, a town on a lake rich with natural environs, where winter sports and summer activities draw athletes and mountain lovers aplenty. As at the mountain restaurants (where some arrive by chairlift rather than muscle movement, and all types of diners and imbibers convene), Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz straddles the old and new, the lavish and the understated. The hotel, one of St. Moritz’s oldest, opened as a spa haven in 1864, set atop a healing mineral spring.
