A great restaurant find on the enchanting island of Korcula, Croatia

We decided on an adventurous itinerary for our drive south to Dubrovnik starting from the island of Vis in order to see as much of the Croatian coastline as possible during our trip.

Morning Farmers Market in Zadar Old Town

One day in Madrid

It's been several months since I have used my passport for travel and I am feeling the pent up frustration an ACL infection delivered requiring a mandatory sit still for 3 months!

Dinner at Tail Up Goat

As soon as I read about Tail Up Goat opening, I wanted to hop, skip and jump over there. The restaurant name in itself had me!  Add to that fabulous name, former chef alum and staff from Komi and Little Serow, I was dead set to check out this place as soon as it opened.…

A Gem of a Champagne at Del Frisco’s Double Steak

Hawaii!! How awesome to get there! [caption id="attachment_524" align="alignnone" width="1224"] Kapolei, Hawaii[/caption] Yet, how expensive!
