Last week, my family and I vacationed in Iceland. It wasn't icy at all. As a matter of fact, temperatures in Reykjavik, Iceland's capital, and the city you'd be most likely to visit, are generally mild year-round. They're less cold in winter, and get less snow than NYC, plus, they have milder Continue Reading
Busch Gardens, The Dali Museum, and The Chihuly Exhibit offered me media rates for my visits. All other expenses – and all opinions – are my own. Some links in this posts are affiliate links. I’ve been going down to Florida for most of my life. As a kid – and into my 20’s - I went to visit my Continue Reading
I have never been a crazy Disney enthusiast. I like Disney. When I was 9, I went to Disney World for the first time and had a blast. But then I didn't go again until I my own kids were school aged, some thirty years later. Don't get me wrong - I love the classic movies. I've seen Dumbo, and Continue Reading
Tomorrow morning, I leave for the Disney Social Media Moms conference. A coveted ticket that I was honored, this year, to receive. I could thank Disney for inviting me and my family to what promises to be a fantabulous weekend of conference, park, and perks. I could thank them for the suitcase Continue Reading
That, at least, was what I thought to myself, as I sat in a sun-drenched, pristine white, spa-tastically scented midtown loft-space that was doing a turn as Canyon Ranch for the Day. I don't think I'm good enough for Canyon Ranch. Why else would I - I who agonize about my weight, and my wrinkles, Continue Reading
Last month, I was lucky enough to get to go to Walt Disney World as a guest of the park, to get a sneak preview of the New Fantasyland -- the largest expansion of the park in 40 years. I've already shown you what Enchanted Tales with Belle was like. Now, here's a look at more of the fabulous new Continue Reading
The New Fantasyland, part of the largest expansion in Disney’s 40 year history, and the most popular land in the most popular park in the most popular theme park in the world is – in a word – spectacular. It doesn’t open until December 6th, but I got a sneak preview of Disney’s latest piece of Continue Reading
I am a city person. For 30 years, New York City has been my home, and in the years preceding that, I spent every moment possible in the city. So I'm kind of surprised that there are plenty of things about being in Montana (where we spent a great (partially sponsored by the Big Sky Resort) vacation Continue Reading
You know something is wrong when your hotel room is larger than your apartment. And has better appliances. Since we were guests of Big Sky Resort in Montana (full disclosure: they paid most of the hotel and most of our basecamp activities) we were given the kind of room that I will likely never Continue Reading
I am not one of those people to whom the word "outdoorsy" is often applied. Ok. I'm not one of those people to whom the word outdoorsy is ever applied. To me, the great outdoors means a large patch of grass in the shadow of a whole lot of skyscrapers. I am not one of those people to whom the Continue Reading
