Aruba for Wine and Cheese Lovers
Having just returned from my sixth trip to Aruba, my friends consider me an expert on all things Aruba. This year I wanted to check out someplace I can’t believe I had never been … the only boutique winery on the island. Alto Vista Winery is Aruba’s first Aruban estate winery, which means it grows its grapes and produces its wine on the island. This is quite a feat, given the dry climate and sandy terrain, and it forces the winery to be creative with its vines. They also grow sugarcane on the farm to produce organic rum and offer tours of the vineyard, winery and distillery.

Deck the halls! Virgin Hotels partners with Bucket Listers to deliver a Black Irish by Mariah Carey-themed festive experience for the holiday season. Black Irish by Mariah Carey is a premium Irish cream liqueur founded and inspired by the heritage of the global superstar. Through Dec. 19, the exclusive Mariah Carey’s Black Irish Holiday Bar will be on offer at select Virgin Hotels in Chicago, Dallas, Nashville, New Orleans and New York City. It looks like a great time, and I hope I can find a chance to visit one of the pop-ups.
WOW to Wicked on Broadway
As the new movie Wicked has been the latest talk, my four friends and I could not wait to watch it together. While seeing it in the movie theater would be fun, we had an even better idea. We thought, "Let’s go back to where it all started and go to NYC to see Wicked on Broadway."

Vedge Philadelphia
If you know anything about me by this point, you know that as a Philadelphia resident, I am more than enthralled with the food and restaurant scene here in the City of Brotherly Love. Of course, I have my favorites — A Kitchen, Ambrosia, Harp & Crown and Saloon — but I am always adding to my must-try list, and last weekend I was able to check one of those off. Spoiler alert: It was spectacular and definitely blog-worthy.
My First Florida–Georgia Football Game
A few weeks ago I finally got to attend my first-ever Florida–Georgia game, a tradition in Jacksonville where hundreds flock to Everbank Stadium to tailgate for hours leading up to the Saturday afternoon game between the Gators and Bulldogs.
Sacajawea by the Sea
I took a trip around two-thirds of the state of Florida this past week, clocking nearly 1,200 mile on my Hertz Jeep Compass, which served me well.
