A Weekend in Boynton Beach
I grew up with snowbird grandparents. They used to spend about five months of the year in South Florida and the other seven up north with us in Pennsylvania. Back then, my family would typically visit them once — sometimes even twice — a year for a week, whether it was over winter or spring break for my siblings and me.
Bachelorette Trip to Rosemary Beach, Florida
Last weekend I celebrated one of my friend’s bachelorettes in Rosemary Beach, a coastal and laid-back community on Florida’s panhandle located about 20 minutes west of Panama City Beach. Her maid of honor booked a gorgeous, three-story property just steps from Inlet Beach, and it comfortably accommodated all 10 of us.

Island Time
Living in Florida has its perks, and one of them is the ability to explore different islands and beaches. This time I visited Boca Grande, just a half hour from my house. I'd been wanting to check it out for a while but had never found the time.
Potion Making
If you're looking for a fun, unique and interactive experience in Philadelphia, The Cauldron is an absolute must-visit. I had the pleasure of booking a visit there recently to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was a fantastic way to make the occasion even more memorable. The experience cost $52 per person, which included three drinks — one pre-mixed cocktail and two that we got to create ourselves. Each guest was handed a cloak to wear, adding to the magical atmosphere right from the start. As soon as we descended into the enchanted space below, it was clear this was no ordinary bar experience.
Travel Safety
Upon my return from a recent trip to Mexico, I was surprised that, when people learned where I went, I was met with the question: “Is it safe there?” My reply? "I felt no more unsafe than here in the United States."
Excited for Baseball Season
It’s officially baseball season! As you may already know, I am a big Philadelphia sports fan, so the start of baseball season is an exciting time for me. I love the Philadelphia Phillies and am excited to see where this season takes us.
The Many Charms of Dunedin
Dunedin, New Zealand, was our final port call on our December cruise Down Under, and we arrived on a beautiful sunny, breezy morning at Port Chalmers, the city's main port, located about 8 miles from downtown Dunedin. Once again we decided we would explore on our own, and that began with our transportation into the city. Something that impressed me whenever we arrived at a New Zealand port was the cadre of friendly volunteers who stood ready in the cruise terminal to greet visitors as they disembarked. Most seemed to be senior citizens, and each was a font of local information, armed with maps and brochures and plenty of good advice about how to get around and what to see. Our Port Chalmers greeters quickly filled us in on the most inexpensive, easy ride to town: the city bus. We got the low-down on how to make our way out of the terminal and just across the street to the local library, where we were further directed to the bus stop.

Apr 15, 2025Pause for a Harmonious Blend of Wellness and Nature in Hong Kong
I was illiterate when I first visited Hong Kong. Aged 17, I couldn’t understand a word of the Chinese neon signs. But 40 years later, I have changed, Hong Kong has changed, and my ability to understand the signs has changed. Now I point my phone at the unintelligible script, open a translation app, and everything magically morphs into English. The exotic becomes mundane: Shoe Store. Office Supplies. Laundry. Dentist. Insurance Broker.
