radar city is off the coast of Naples. This city is lined with sherbet colored buildings and narrow little streets. The fisherman colored their houses brightly to see them from the sea. #1 of the colorful cities to see.
Holidays get crazy busy and sometimes you just need to escape after the holiday madness. New Year’s is a great excuse to get away for a quick weekend trip and experience something new! Last minute New Year’s weekend get-away is an adventure you won’t want to miss!
I have been craving a getaway as I haven’t travelled in the month of December yet. So, Richard and I are off to Scottsdale Arizona for a 3-day weekend. We will work from the pool on Friday and then enjoy the weekend with warmer weather than in Colorado. Have you ever thought about a long weekend getaway domestically? I will admit I am usually a “long distance” traveler. Simply Scottsdale, I thought I would introduce you to some resorts that you could enjoy during a long weekend here.
If you are like me, this is a tough subject! My passion is traveling and here it is Christmas time. Everyone wants ideas for gifts, and of course, I don’t really need anything. I crave experiences, new culinary delights, spending time in another country. Those do not really make great Christmas gifts. So… this edition… Travel lover gift gifting. (The super short version as I don’t have that many ideas).
This week I am at a virtual trade conference for Italy. What does this mean? It means that I meet with suppliers from Italy online on Zoom. I learn about new properties, new suppliers, new destination management companies, and more. Today, I had the pleasant experience of meeting with Dolomite Mountains. This is a destination management company, and they work with travel advisors (like me) to curate amazing experiences in their “country”. I cannot wait to share some of these amazing ideas for active travelers or skiers!
Richard and I were traveling through Bologna and I found the most special farmhouse/cooking class in the countryside of Bologna. The owners were lovely, engaging and we were in awe of the whole experience. A husband-and-wife team running a farm, restaurant, cooking school, and a B&B as well. This secret Bologna experience has stayed on top of our minds every time we think of Italy.
The holidays are quickly approaching. Can you believe that it’s the middle of November already? I cannot! Holidays bring special moments of spending time with the family, gift gifting, and festive traveling! What are your plans for the holidays? This week I thought I would put a few ideas as a holiday travel guide.
Richard and I stayed at the Savoia Hotel Regency in Bologna in 2017. It’s a beautiful hotel that feels very fancy but has great prices. Our favorite restaurant in Bologna was Garganelli restaurant in the hotel. This restaurant is all about a refined and elegant environment. The space is modern and classic at the same time.
Who doesn’t love weekend getaways? In the busyness of life sometimes your dream vacation has to take a back seat, but a weekend getaway can be just the thing to leave you feeling refreshed and connected to your partner or family. This week I’m going to share a few of my favorite places to escape for a long weekend.
Today I thought I might share one of my favorite itineraries – to Italy! Italy – Mi Amore! I adore Italy, as most of you probably know. It’s my favorite country and where I love to go. So I thought maybe sharing my itinerary would inspire you as well!
