Last weekend was a busy one. On Friday, I stuffed swag bags all day in preparation for the J&R jr Kickoff Party downtown. Then late Friday afternoon I hurried uptown to the first ever Family Travel Conference, which started at 2pm, and went pretty much straight through until Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning, up early to [...]

Family Travel: To Tech or not to Tech?
Posted in Humor, Travel on January 18, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Family vacations are supposed to be all about togetherness. So does that mean that no one can be on their phone or handheld game, or ipad, or computer the entire time? Yikes. I mean, can you get the DTs from electronic withdrawal syndrome? Kim Orlando gave that a shot on her recent family vacation to [...]
CES Day One: It’s a Dog’s Life

Forget the tech. Forget the wireless TVs you can carry from room to room. Forget the cool iPad cases and super slim speakers. THIS is what being in Vegas is all about.
My Club Med Vacation: Round 2

We have friends, who every year, head to Costa Rica on vacation. I’ve been to Costa Rica. I loved it. We had a wonderful trip. And maybe I’ll go back someday to see another part of it, but five years in a row? I don’t get it. I like my vacations to be about discovering [...]

Tourist in My Own Town: Statue of Liberty Cruise

Last month I was in Paris with my family. One afternoon, we met my husband’s childhood friend, who now lives there, and he gave us this advice: No matter where you live, or where you visit, act like you’re a tourist. Truth is, I am not a big fan of tourists. They walk too slowly, [...]
Wordless Wednesday: NYC vs Giverny, France
Posted in Travel, tagged Central Park, Central Park Photo, Giverny on June 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Can you tell the difference? Well, OK. There is that buidling in the background of the NYC shot. But seriously. Can you believe that I took these pictures only a few days apart – one in Central Park and one at Monet’s house at Giverny? Beauty is everywhere!
Paris: Loopy for the Louvre
Posted in Travel, tagged Eiffel Tower, family travel, France, Louvre, Mona Lisa, Multigenerational family trip Paris, Musée du Louvre, New York, Paris, Paris family trip, Seine on June 16, 2011 | 5 Comments »
So it’s day four in Paris, and the kids have finally, thoroughly, shocked me: their favorite thing so far was not the Eiffel Tower, not the hot chocolate at Angelina’s, not the patisseries or the bookinistes along the Seine. Nope. They’re favorite thing was visiting The Louvre. Really? Not that I’m not thrilled, proud, even. [...]
Heading to Paris. Remembering Paris. Can I go back again?

Tomorrow night I’m heading to Paris with my family. I’m sure it will be a great trip. My kids have never been to Europe. The weather is forecast to be fine. They’re grandparents will be with us, and are footing the bill. But I can’t help but feel a little sad about the trip, because [...]
Cherry Blossom Snow Drift
Posted in Travel on May 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I took this this morning in Riverside Park. It was cold out there — but at least the cherry blossoms were blooming in full force. Even on the ground, they’re a beautiful reminder that Spring is here. Now if only the temperature would be springlike, too, we’d be good!
