15 MAY 2013: No wonder Tony Bennett left his heart in this City by the Bay. What’s not to like about this vibrant town where vintage cable cars still clang and clatter up and down the hilly streets, the food scene is second to none and the locals are super friendly. Somehow San Francisco manages to be glamorous and gritty, easy-going and exciting. I suggest you follow the three commandments issued by San Francisco’s Convention and Visitors Bureau - “explore, experience and enjoy.”
THE FIRST RESORT SPACalifornia Dreaming at La Costa
01 MAY 2013: These days almost every resort in the world has some sort of spa facility. But La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California, holds the distinction of being the first ever resort spa in the US.
I LOVE NEW YORKLet me Count the Ways
17 APR 2013: It’s about this time every year that I get a craving to visit Manhattan. The store windows are all gussied up, daffodils and tulips are in full bloom and spring is in the air. My husband and I are just back from a few days in The Big Apple and I’m happy to report that you don’t have to be related to Donald Trump or the Rockefellers to have a wonderful time. From freebies to bargains to a few well-deserved indulgences, here’s where to save and splurge in the city that never sleeps.
IMAGINETons of Fun Under the Scottsdale Sun
03 APR 2013: Imagine is the name of the sculpture rising from the pond at the ninth green on the Acacia Course at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa. This artwork, dedicated to Katherine Herberger whose family built the resort, captures the innovative spirit here in Scottsdale.
VIVA MEXICOTianguis Tidbits 2013
28 MAR 2013: I'm just back from the annual Tianguis Turistico, Mexico and Latin America's largest tourism trade fair. In keeping with the mandate of Mexico Tourism to introduce travellers to the country’s myriad charms (beyond sun and beach), this year’s event was held in Puebla. This marks the first time in its 38 year history that Tianguis was held in a Colonial City.
SAVE AND SPLURGEEnchanting San Miguel de Allende
20 MAR 2013: Looking for the ideal place to introduce novice or nervous travellers to Mexico? This is it. For years my travel writing buddies have been extolling the virtues of San Miguel de Allende (SMA for short). So this spring I decided to hit Mexico’s heartland and check out SMA’s colonial architecture, cobblestoned streets, fantastic eateries, colourful galleries and busy cultural scene.
WHERE THE PROS AREGolf in Northern Ireland
06 MAR 2013: Recent triumphs have skyrocketed Northern Ireland to super-star status in the world of golf, aided in no small part by the trio of golf champions born and raised there. Rory McIlroy took the US Open in 2011 and as I write this, holds the title as the world’s number one golfer, Graeme McDowell won the US Open in 2010 and Darren Clarke walked off with the British Open trophy in 2011. These three chaps have become ambassadors, not only for the game but also for their homeland where golf reigns supreme.
GREETINGS FROM MARGARITAVILLEA guide to the best of the Bay of Banderas
20 FEB 2013: Cheers and salutations from Puerto Vallarta. It seems fitting that I will be here to celebrate National Margarita Day on February 22 as the margarita is definitely my libation of choice when in Mexico. Back in chilly Toronto, the zesty concoction of tequila, triple sec and lime never tastes quite as good as it does down here in the state of Jalisco where tequila, mariachi music, Mexico rodeos and the sombrero were born.
SWINGING IN SCOTTSDALEWhat a party
06 FEB 2013: Last week I attended the Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament held at the TPC Stadium Course in Scottsdale, Arizona. For those of you who think watching a golf tournament is about as exciting as watching paint dry, one trip to the Phoenix Open will shatter that notion.
DUBLIN BETWEEN THE COVERSDiscover the literary side of the Irish Capital
23 JAN 2013: James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, W.B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw... Few countries in the world have produced so many prolific poets and writers as Ireland. Blame the breathtaking scenery, the island’s isolation, the beguiling history and leprechaun lore or the fact that the Irish seem to be blessed with the Gaelic gift of the gab.
