California: Paso Robles, Justin Winery

January 28, 2013

California is the 3rd largest state in the US. That doesn’t give me the excuse for overlooking so many areas in my home state that I have yet to visit. It’s a travesty, especially in light of how beautiful this state is…and how beautiful Paso Robles is. Located about halfway between Los Angeles & San […]

California: Paso Robles, Villa Creek Restaurant

January 21, 2013

One of the best things about being a meeting planner is being able to select the restaurant location. One of the worst things about being obsessed with food is selecting the right restaurant to meet the needs of my group while satisfying my own personal requirements. For Paso Robles, the three top priorities [after budget] […]

Dear Friend: Last week’s drink and toast to you was a nice cold frosty one. This week’s drink of choice is a Dark and Stormy. Ginger Beer [you can use Ginger ale in a pinch but it is NOT the same!] and Dark Rum. I may have been a bit heavy handed with the rum […]

May 17, 2012

Part of traveling with other people is knowing what would appeal to the masses [in this case, a mass of two]. I’ve seen so many pictures of St Emilion, an easy day trip from Bordeaux, that I just knew that my photographer/artsy-fartsy friend Sao would just love shooting/wallowing in the rich colors of the city.
