My husband and I recently went on a 9-day sailing adventure around the British Virgin Isles with another couple and can’t stop thinking AND talking about it, we had such a fantastic time. And that’s what spawned the idea for this post. YOU KNOW IT WAS…

David and I were in Puerto Rico last year for the Ironman 70.3 and had such a great time. Syd came down and brought one of her friends to hang out with. We rented an apartment in Old San Juan and had plenty of time to explore; and explore we did. We were lucky enough to spend the week before and after the race just…

When we are in Puerto Rico, whether for the Ironman race or purely vacation, we rent a penthouse in Old San Juan, so much of our food and fun is there. We tend to stay far away from the ports for many reasons, but mainly because the cruise crowds are just overwhelming. Honestly, we tend to ask the locals where to eat and not use…

I love to spend time in northern California and the Marin County area is a favorite. My husband and I recently got a chance to spend some time visiting friends in Napa and decided to tack on a few days on our own. So, I started to do my research and uncovered a true gem just over the Golden Gate Bridge called Cavallo Point. The…

Travel can be exhausting and arriving fresh and ready to go for us is so important. There is no need to waste time at your destination just because you don’t feel in peak shape from traveling. The top thing we neglect as travelers is fuel for our bodies. We always need to think about snacks and meals to make sure we take care of ourselves….

We’ve faced it more than once and if you haven’t, consider yourself really lucky and please share some of…

Traveling to a wine and food destination may sound strange for active people, but the truth is, people who love food respect the ingredients and their bodies and wine is always a good thing – we have scientific backing on this one. It’s also said that active people are more happy and according to 10 million geo-targeted tweets, Napa is the happiest city in the…

I mean really. I didn’t have a clue until recently when my friend, Amy, said, “Come to Napa with me”. I thought, girl’s getaway, great, I’m in! But, I had to ask myself what would we do for four days driving from vineyard to vineyard? Then I got our itinerary. We were not leaving downtown Napa, but for a few hours one morning for a…

Just when you think San Juan Island in Washington is amazing, you find out it has a triathlon and it like changes everything! I mean really; the perfect resort hosting the perfect race. Could it get any better for a triathlon family? I think not. We learned about the triathlon on a recent trip to Lakedale Resort. Although we were not on San Juan Island…

Between Dana and I, we have been to the Big Island of Hawaii at least 15 times and probably more. We have been both for vacations, including one wedding – mine – and the Ironman World Championships. The only conclusions to be reached are that WE LOVE HAWAII and that we really know it inside out and all the great places to have food and…

Recently, I traveled with my BFFs and it was a blast; challenging at times, mind you, but a lot of fun. Traveling with my girlfriends is great way for me to get some much needed time away for my routine; talking about things you can only talk about with “the girls”. If you’ve never traveled this way before or it’s been a long time, maybe…
