We recently spent 9 days traveling with another couple, 7 of which were spent on a sailboat. It could have been a disaster or pure bliss. It’s hard to know going in which it will be. You could be the best of friends for many years and then be constantly at each other’s throats on vacation together. It only takes one bad comment, adverse event,…

Spring is finally here and as you clean out your closets and homes, don’t forget to do the same to all your travel needs. Think about it…We pack our clothes, personal care items, shoes, dirty clothes, and so much more in our suitcase and bags within our suitcase. We then place our suitcases, carry-on bags, and what not on planes where so many people touch…

It happens. Kids grow up and then they are 18 and legal to drink in many countries where you may travel. The summer after my twins turned 18, they traveled to Europe and India together and were legal to drink. As they were staying in small hotels and hostels, we knew they would be asked regularly if they wanted a drink and so, we knew…

We’ve done a lot of traveling over the years with the kids, both domestically and internationally. It takes planning, fortitude, AND creativity, but I wouldn’t trade one experience for the world. We’re happy to share what we’ve learned with you. Some of these are for the kids and some of them are for the grown ups. These are not the technical tips having to do…

In case you haven’t noticed, we like our wine at the TriWivesClub. It is definitely one of our pleasures and a way to cope with the triathlon lifestyle…at times…But, we’ve actually even started to get a bit more sophisticated about wine and learning what constitutes a good wine from a “why am I drinking this crap” wine. It has been an experience, however, albeit…

Not everyone loves having guests in their home, but I really do. I enjoy having a house filled with people and love making them feel comfortable and wanted. In fact, I go out of my way to make them feel right at home. I’ve found over the years that it doesn’t really take a lot of effort or expense, just a bit of time doing…

I know I know, you don’t want to do anything on Sunday, because you know tomorrow is Monday. But I have to tell you, these five things make my week so much better and do not take up that much time. I either do them all at once or throughout the day, depending on what I have going on. As I am making breakfast,…

We have received some awesome hostess gifts this year! And I mean awesome! I was asked to pick out my top 5, so here they are in no particular order. Well, maybe a little bit of an order. These are not just great for the holiday season, but year round – think housewarming – and they all say, “Hey, I really put some thought into…

When I think of a short getaway I think 3-4 nights. Just enough time to get there, settle in, relax, have some fun, drink a little wine, and do a little shopping. Two nights is never enough and once you get to five nights, why not stay a week… But, that said, going away for a quick 3-4 night getaway always brought up an…

Over the years, I have worked hard to provide my family with the best environment I possibly can. I use organic and real foods in the house. I bake, I cook, and I work hard to make healthy and clean eating easy for my family. I use all organic and/or natural products where I can. I am in no one over the top and…

You book your trip because a friend said it was their “best trip ever”. You don’t do your own research or check out other reviews, because you figure your friend wouldn’t steer you wrong and if they like it, you’ll like it. After all, it does seem like the place is just your style. Then this happens…your luxury travel expectations and reality collide. Believe me,…

I am so excited! It’s July, which means I get to buy birthday gifts for teenage girls – two of my nieces. But, as they are getting older, I’m finding it harder and harder to pick the perfect gift. I know everyone says to just get them a gift card, but I really don’t like being that gift card person, even though I have been…
