  • For the past several summers (and falls), I've headed back to my childhood soil to connect with the nature and pulse of upstate New York's Adirondacks, my favorite mountains across all of the 90 countries I've traveled. - - This shot was taken on Mirror Lake one early dawn -- I snuck out of our hotel room early to breathe in the lake solo. There wasn't another soul in sight except for a few ducks 🦆 -- it is nothing short of pure magic to greet a morning this way. - - I wrote a dedication post this week given that although I did spend a long weekend up in the northern Catskills earlier this summer, I didn't make it to the place that truly holds my heart, the "pure" Adirondacks. - I love you Adirondacks, with your your dramatic fall skies, your apple orchards and your summer lake romances. - - I missed your clam bakes, hot dogs, cotton candy and soft serve ice cream, your old fashioned merry go rounds that never tire, and the one thing that settles my soul when nothing else can, a canoe ride on one of your dozens of lakes that make their way through the Adirondack mountains, those rolling blue and green hues and haze on the horizon that remind me what pure perfection really is. - - Here's my blog post dedication with lots of great photos: http://bit.ly/2fbbimI
  • This one was too fun not to post even though I now post 99% of my foodie related shots over @luxuryfoodies which is where the dishes from our #MichelinAllStar experience in San Jose with #ADEGA will all be posted (ahi tuna is over there now with more coming this week) - This Sangria creation started our #Michelin dinner right before they started pouring the 2014 Esporao Private selection from Portugal. - - ADEGA is only the second Portuguese restaurant in the country to be honored with a Michelin star and they have plans to expand. This VIP tasting soirée incorporated dishes by five Michelin star chefs all of whom flew in for this event from Portugal & NYC! - - San Jose’s ADEGA Chefs, David Costa and Jessica Carreira curated the tasting menu, paired with select Portuguese wines, along with Chef George Mendes from Aldea in New York City, Chef Alexandre Silva from Lisbon's Loco and Chef Pedro Lemos of Pedro Lemos in Porto Portugal. - - Want to see the 7 courses, head over to @luxuryfoodies & follow along Michelin star experience. - - The review will be live over on www.weblogtheworld.com in our Food & Wine 🍷 and Restaurant sections on Monday. - - - Thanks and hats off to the #TeamSanJose team for pulling this together in such an elegant way.
  • We are staying at The Toll House this week, a gem of boutique property in the heart of downtown Los Gatos. This simple but elegant and intimate small-town hotel boasts a modern character though retains some of the flavor of this historical South Bay town at the base of the serene Santa Cruz Mountains. The courtyard with its abundance flowers and herbs, tiled wall and relaxing lounge couches and fire pits is my favorite feature of this property. Review coming later this month in our Hotel & Resorts section: https://weblogtheworld.com/browse/lodging.
  • View from my hotel room at Manchebo Resort - life is amazing with palm trees swaying and a view this grand.
  • Reviewing the ever so divine Health Spa Napa Valley, a luxurious day spa & club for locals where you can get your yogi on as well as body treatments, other fitness classes, massage, wraps, & facials. There's also a gorgeous pool, hot tub & extensive gym. Did I mention the Eucalyptus steam room & sauna too? I also love they they use organic products from Eminence as well, one of my favorite lines. It was quite a pampering day - love you Napa! My review is going live in our Spas section (under the Luxury menu) on Sept 17 on www.weblogtheworld.com
