Trip date: September There is so much to do in DC that it took me a bit to narrow down what I wanted to see, having just 2-full days. Wednesday, December 19, 48 Hours in Napa. Trip date: Nov It was snowing in Seattle, so Gail and I were doubly happy to be heading to the Napa Valley to meet up with our friend Rachel who was visiting from Australia.
The only problem was that the snow delayed our Alaska Air flight and we had dinner reservations to make! Ultimately our flight was cancelled, but we were quick and booked the last two seats on a flight to Sacramento. We reserved a rental car and as soon as we landed, hit the road for the 2-hour drive to Calistoga.
We'd done this drive before! Helena , weekend , wineries. Sunday, December 16, Seen in Chicago. Yes, thank you! Trip date: May A friend was finishing a week of business in San Francisco and invited me down for the Memorial Day weekend. I didn't love having to order and pay for my drinks via the seat-back entertainment device, but other than that it was fine. The city was fairly quiet when I landed that evening so I took an Uber and met him at the W where we would be staying. We had a great big corner room, with a cute little seating area, and nice views.
The W is a great central location as well. We walked to Liholiho Yacht Club , put our name in for a table, and then walked to The Progress Hotel for drinks at their rooftop bar Charmaine's. It was a gorgeous night to sit outside next to the fire pit.
Sunday, November 18, Stationed in Siem Reap. Trip date: January Like most travellers who come to Cambodia to explore the temples of Angkor, we based ourselves in Siem Reap for 4-days. So here were were on a tourist bus heading north past really nothing but rickety shack-style homes, on stilts, with dirt yards, a few had a cow in front.
