That was the epitome of my recent trip to Gulf Shores on the coast of Alabama. Located about thirty miles west of Pensacola, fifty miles south of Mobile, and two hundred miles east of New Orleans, the area is sometimes referred to as…

There are way more than 4 reasons you need to call now and make your next vacation at Belcampo Belize, but I hope these 4 convince you. My hubby made this pick for us as a couple and he outdid himself! I loved everything, including getting there. It’s a short plane ride from the States and then a short hop on Tropic Air. The rooms…

The Breeders’ Cup is an annual series of Grade I thoroughbred horse races, with a rotating location in North America. Besides the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont, it is generally the highest attended race and a prestigious event in its own right.

Let’s get honest and raw here. You, who you are, who you…

One evening several months ago, our neighbors and dear friends began telling us of their love of Blue Crab. They are from the east coast. We had to chime in and tell them about our love of Dungeness Crab. We are from the west coast. The gauntlet had been dropped…which species was the tastiest. We left the evening tasked with the responsibility of ordering crab…

“Guess What?” I’m done. I’ve decided I’m ready to retire. I want the end of the year to be it.” These are the words I heard out of my husband about a month ago. While he had always said when what I do is no longer fun or inspiring, I’m calling it quits, I never expected he REALLY meant it. It was just him blowing…

There are two words I love in any car I drive and luckily, both are easier to find together in today’s world; environmentally-friendly and luxurious. It has always seemed that in order to be more green and have less impact on the planet, you had to give up luxuries and pay more.
