Southlake is a charming city just outside of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. We spent the long Fourth of July weekend there with the kids to celebrate the holiday at their annual “Stars and Stripes” event. We arrived in Southlake on Sunday, July 2, and checked in at the Hilton Dallas/Southlake Town Square. They gave us a… Continue reading Summer in Southlake, Texas
When I think about traveling– places I’ve been and places I’d love to visit, I still think about my incredible trip to Japan. From the extraordinary food and welcoming hospitality, to the impressive blend of traditional and modern culture and the natural beauty of the country, Japan is unlike any other place. I’ve traveled to… Continue reading ANA Campaign

I went to Japan in May and stayed at the Andaz Tokyo for almost “free.” Nope they didn’t invite me, I paid with points. This is how I did it: I previously signed up for a free World of Hyatt membership and used my account to book Hyatt hotel stays via that account. I accumulated… Continue reading Andaz Tokyo

Just remember to wash all that food (and wine)… Continue reading Eating in Paris

This was my third time back, so I took it easy and didn’t do a lot of the must see must do items that a first time tourist might want to experience. So instead of listing the things I did on this previous trip, this post… Continue reading How to Paris like a Champ
I had four days in Amsterdam, and this is how I spent it. Friday We arrived at 8am, took a cab (hello overabundance of Tesla cabs!) and checked into the hotel at 9:30am. I slept about zero on the plane, so I needed a nap. Woke up after 1pm and walked to The Avocado Show,… Continue reading Amsterdam in Four Days
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I love NYC. I’m originally from Houston, but I lived in NYC for a few years, and I try to go back as often as possible. Each time I’m there, I hit my usual favorites and also try a few new spots. Saturday 10am. My husband and… Continue reading NYC, October 2017
I spent a few days in the gorgeous towns of Canmore and Banff last week with my family. The first day was inundated with low hanging clouds, light rain and snow. We took it easy with a hike on the Grassi Lakes Trail, and as soon as we reached the lake the snow started falling.… Continue reading Alberta, Canada
