A Day in Glen Ellen, California

During a recent visit to Sonoma County, California, my husband and I spent the day in Glen Ellen. We were staying at Gaige House + Ryokan. We arrived ahead of check-in time, and our room wasn’t ready yet, so we decided to explore.

Remarkable Medellín

Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto.

Hiking in Utah

The drive was more than five hours, and I can’t recommend it less, but soon enough we were at our destination: Entrada Escalante Lodge. The hotel concierge was kind enough to accommodate our late check-in and left instructions for us along with a key — all too eager to get out of the car and get to bed, I was relieved they made it so simple for us.
