Ojai
I snuck away to Ojai for a few days last week. The drive was beautiful. Naturally I love a road trip (and a stop off at Dairy Queen!) Loved the Ojai Valley Inn– what an amazing location. Now I am just dreaming of my massage and a dip in the pool. With the holidays just […]
Maine
Last year I traveled to Maine for the first time. Something about it made me fall in love with the place. When friends with a house put out the invitation again this summer, I quickly jumped to booking my tickets. Like last year, traveling after Labor Day was just perfect. Tourists gone, kids back in […]
Weekend in the Country
I love to go away for little weekend trips. Living in San Francisco allows for many adventures just a short distance outside of the city. This past weekend, I attended the wedding of the daughter of a dear friend. It was lovely to be part of the festivities for the special day. The wedding took […]
Camping…
I generally don’t make any pretense when it comes to camping: it’s just not for me. We never loaded up the station wagon and pitched a tent when I was growing up (for which, as a kid, I was immensely grateful). It might have been something on which I missed out in my childhood. Or […]
Morocco Top 12
People have been asking me what my absolute favorite parts of Morocco were. So I decided to coe up with a list. Here is my short list to Morocco. I tried to make it a “Top 10” – but I couldn’t edit it down that much! So here we go… 12. Haggle with the vendors – […]
Riad Porte Royale: An Oasis of Simplicity
I have to be honest: I am picky about where I rest my head at night. Poor quality bedding, a bad shower and towels the size of postage stamps just don’t cut it for me. Camping isn’t exactly my thing. Sadly, my budget doesn’t always allow for the finest establishments, so it forces me to be more […]
Morocco
I am back from my travelling adventures half way across the world. San Francisco to Paris to Marrakech to Fez and all the way back home. My bags are overflowing and my brain is on overload with the visuals. All I could think about while turning each corner: how was it that I had not […]
Greetings from Morocco!
My traveling adventures in Morocco have come to an end. It is hard to believe that I was away for two weeks. So many stories of such amazing adventures to share. As soon as I recover from jet lag, settle in and unpack my overflowing suitcases, I promise to share everything!
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
I am counting down the days, minutes and seconds until my next big travel adventure (even though it is not happening until April). First to Paris and then to Morocco. I have been taking weekly French lessons to prepare. In Morocco I have found amazing riads to stay in both Marrakech and Fez. I am […]
Casa Kulanu
Sometimes I like to leave the pavement of city living on weekends and just get out of town.There is something really nice about a little day- road trip that can be just so refreshing.One of the amazing things about living in San Francisco is that you can just pop in the car and be outside […]
