In the Fall we traveled to Southern California for another one of my fun rheumatologist visits.  Don’t be jealous, we can’t ALL have Lupus.  Once again we stayed at one of my favorite hotels in Southern California, the Huntington Beach Hyatt. This hotel is made of magic and fairy dust in my eyes.  Anyplace that [...]

While you’re reading this I’m somewhere between Salt Lake City – New York City – Paris – Warsaw. We’ve been planning this trip for over 10 years, so I’m not going to work while I’m abroad, if there’s any help for it.  I’m planning to post when I can, but I don’t want to spend [...]

how to shave with conditioner

Did you know you can shave with conditioner?  It’s true. When I travel I don’t bother bringing shaving cream with me on the plane, it’s way too much hassle for one girl to deal with on a regular basis.  Instead I use whatever cheap-o hotel conditioner is waiting for me when I arrive.  I’m not [...]

diary

Cambria Cove {one of my favorite gifting companies} sent me this adorable journal in February around Valentine’s Day, and I’ve been hoarding it ever since to give to Precocious for our family trip to Europe.  Precocious isn’t much of a journal-er {is that even a word?}, and it’s something I’m trying to help her enjoy.  [...]

summer swim suits 2011

DownEast sent me an adorable swim suit to take with me to Europe.  Viktor pointed out that people in Europe don’t obsess over their bodies like Americans, and that maybe it was time I invest in a bikini to wear to the bath houses in Budapest. No thank you very much. Just to sweeten the [...]

carry on luggage

It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, being that I travel at least twice a month, but I’ve never bought luggage before now.  I take that back.  I bought a carry-on at D.I. {my favorite thrift store} for $6 about five years ago.  It belonged to someone in the pharmaceutical industry; it [...]
