Coachella 2012

Since my life has been tragically void of any travel beyond the 405 freeway, I am going to grasp at straws here with a pixel-heavy re-cap of my fantastic Coachella weekend with the girls. While every...

Hilton Head, South Carolina

Let me take you back in time two months ago when I actually went on this vacation. Every day since I have drafted my daily to-do list, writing a capitalized order to BLOG over 60 times. My apologies ...

Savannah, Georgia/Hilton Head, South Carolina

Our third day took us across state lines to Savannah, Georgia where we experienced an overview of Downtown from a trolley tour that took us through around the grid-like city and its 22 squares. It be...

Charleston, South Carolina

We planned to rent another car upon leaving Hilton Head, but instead opted to Jenga seven bodies, seven full-sized suitcases and assorted carry-ons into the minivan. Needless to say the drive was unc...

Charleston, South Carolina Part II

The next day we drove out of the city to tour Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. Here I will mention the clear blue sky above us as we toured the house, the museum (with a quizzical stuffed penguin) an...

Napa/Sonoma

In early September, my Mom and I went on a quick, power-nap style trip to Wine Country. Since the trip was less than two days (and my Napa reports so recent and frequent) I figured a photos-only entr...

Chicago Part I

This year for our annual girls trip, we took advantage of Jackies job perks and headed to the Midwest for Lollapalooza. After an airport cocktail Wednesday evening we began our journey, eventually de...

Chicago Part II

It felt like we had lived several lifetimes by the time day one of Lollapalooza actually arrived. Before heading over, we tried the “look like you know what youre doing and walk in” method at the hot...

Chicago Part III

After a slow start and a few purchases (new suitcase for me, necessary tennis shoes for Jackie, and bandaids for Kellie who skinned her elbow by diving into oncoming golf cart traffic) we headed to t...

Lake Casitas

On Saturday afternoon Ashley and I drove North to Lake Casitas to join a group that had already began the camping adventure the previous day. Not without a stop first in Ventura to have a snappy lunc...

Napa Part I

Jade and I embarked on our first couples-trip with couple-friends Ben and Paisley over the 4th of July weekend. The four of us were very vocal about how this step legitimized us from mere double-date...

Napa Part II

On Monday the 4th we drove North to a region unexplored: Calistoga. The main street, Lincoln Avenue, is distinctly different from other wine towns by sticking to the forty-niner charm of its founding...

Las Vegas

Saturday morning, only two hours behind schedule, Ashley, Jackie, Kellie and I boarded our rental Sonata and hit the road toward Las Vegas. It was a busy weekend for Vegas with hoards of fluorescent ...

NYC Part I

I rejoiced for my unexpectedly swift return to New York when my office told me they were sending me there to take client meetings for a week. The AICP Show is the prom of the commercial advertising i...

NYC Part 2

With Thursday came the clincher: cloying humidity and 100 degree heat – even more intense on a concrete island where trash bags bake curbside. After my daily walk to the Chelsea Market to get iced co...

PARIS PART UN

We arrived at Charles DeGualle from Israel at midnight, split our concomitant luggage into two cabs, and headed to our Parisian apartment. Paris was built before people realized how excellent the gri...

PARIS PART DUEX

Tuesday we took the Metro and connecting train eleven miles out of the city proper to Versailles. If you think the walk to the Palace of Versailles would be absent of miniature Eiffel tower solicitat...

PARIS PART TROIS

On Wednesday I adventured alone. And by adventured, I mean that I walked around in circles eating macarons. Even my keen sense of direction was helpless against the nonsensical street layouts. Finall...

PARIS PART QUATRE

Thursday my dad and I took the Metro to Montparnasse to spook around in the Catacombs of Paris. History time! By the 17th century, Paris was crowded – with the living and dead. As cemeteries became f...

PARIS PART CINQ

On our last day in Paris, we fulfilled our tourist quota with a river cruise on the Seine. This was after my €10 cappuccino and nutella crepe. I thought something was lost in translation but no, the ...

Israel Preface/Index

After falling in love with Israel in 2008, my family was ecstatic to return for the Bar Mitzvah of my cousin Michael (pronounced ‘Mikhail,’ not Jackson.) My Dad couldn’t make the previous trip so we ...

ISRAEL, PART ALEPH א:

We survived the 17-hour flight to Israel, but our baggage did not. Then in a state of frazzled jetlag, I left my laptop bag in the cab that dropped us off at the Hilton Tel Aviv at 1AM. For the next ...

ISRAEL, PART BET ב:

On Tuesday, we wrongly chose to listen to the Jumpy’s GPS and went an hour out of the way to the city of Ashdod. Worryingly, we stopped at a gas station where the attendant could not locate where we ...

ISRAEL, PART GIMEL ג:

We hired a tour guide, Avi, to take us North to the Sea of Galilee, an area previously unchartered by our family. We began in Nazareth, currently the largest Arab Palestinian city in the country. Str...

ISRAEL, PART DALET ד:

Thursday was a magical day (I deleted the four hours of traffic and rain from my reflection.) We boarded our Jerusalem-bound bus early and it soon filled with our Israeli family and friends we had ma...

ISRAEL PART HEI ה:

On Friday, my dad, Michelle and I rented bikes near the hotel and rode to Jaffa. Since the city is situated on a hill (with cobblestones at that) we mostly just rode around the perimeter. After runni...

ISRAEL PART VAV ו:

On Shabbat, we went to the synagogue ceremony at the Dan Accadia Hotel in nearby Herzliya, the silicone valley of Israel.The ceremony was two hours long without a word of English but I understood whe...

NYC

At the news of Davey joining the cast of American Idiot on Broadway, we planned a quick weekend jaunt to our favorite city to see it with our very own eyes. The 7AM takeoff on Friday was brutal but i...
