Ashford Castle, Cong, County Galway, Ireland

Apparently it rains here all the time. You would never known that, as we spent every day lapped in sunshine during our say in County Mayo, Ireland. How could one enjoy these 300+ acres of gardens if it’s raining all the time? I didn’t exactly know, nor did I desire to find out. Sleeping through […]

Rock and Brews, LAX Airport Terminal 5, Los Angeles USA

One night in LA, flying in just for dinner. I was at my first conference in 17 months in Baltimore with over 800 tourism colleagues, and it felt like covid was a thing of the past. The tourism industry is about bringing people together, and we were doing just that. It was so great to […]

Trade, Boston (Logan Airport), MA USA

My first work trip in 17 months – to a tourism conference with 800 others… I couldn’t have been more excited. My industry! My people! All together!

I loved being at the end of Newbury Street, adjacent to Berkeley school of music and ample shops/restaurants catering to locals, students, and tourists alike. While I loved my time at […]

Solas, Boston, MA USA

We had a meeting at The Lenox Hotel and were asked to choose our lunch from the Solas menu prior to arriving. How could I not go with the self-titled Lenox Club Sandwich? What made it their signature, branded Club Sandwich? From what I could see on the menu, nothing in particular. And it sat […]

Ford’s Filling Station, Los Angeles LAX Airport, CA USA

Excellent family vacation. It was great to return to a very, very busy Pasadena – when we left in August of 2020, nearly everything was shut (even the playground swings had been removed), covid was ever-present, and forest fires were rading. ~9 months later and life was essentially back to normal. It’s amazing to see […]
