As my sailing adventure continues my next stop is one of the most exclusive islands in the Caribbean, Peter Island, an amazing private island in the British Virgin Island that’s only accessible by boat or helicopter. This TRAVEL THERAPY destination has been top on my list of places to stay for more than a decade because… Continue reading

Every time I hear those three magic words, “at your service” I’m thinking…for real? I really have my own butler to cater to my every need and spoil me rotten? This is too cool! As a new kind of TRAVEL THERAPY luxe resorts around the world are now pulling out all the stops offering up guests everything from a full time traditional butler to bath butlers, beach butlers, music butlers and even baby butlers but so far the most unique butler I’ve found is the… Continue reading

Okay, now you don’t have to just take my recommendations on the best places to eat in Sin City because the prestigious European Michelin Guide has now added Las Vegas to its list of premier dining destinations around the world. Lady Vegas has come a long way from the 99 cent shrimp cocktails and $1.99 prime rib dinners! Here are the restaurants that received top honors… Continue reading

I just found out one of my favorite luxe resorts in Scottsdale is now even better! I’ve been hearing for awhile how The Four Seasons was going to spruce things up a bit but the finished product is more than I expected. This property has always been the perfect TRAVEL THERAPY when you’re looking for a first-class, intimate escape that also offers world-class golf. This property had such an amazing feeling before this renovation I was wondering how it could possibly improve on such perfection… but in true Four Seasons fashion that’s exactly what has happened.

Trying to keep up with all the fantastic restaurants in Vegas is like playing craps. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out…BAM…you have to start over. Still, there’s one hip restaurant on the Strip I always know I can count on for the best TRAVEL THERAPY and some serious wine and dining…especially if you ask to sit at the “special” table… Continue reading

For this TRAVEL THERAPY assignment I would need my wine glass. Yes, tough work. I know, but I really do want to figure out why, with dozens of wineries in Northern California, Bennett Lane is so special? Sniff, swirl, sip. I found yummy wine but I also found out Bennett Lane is the first to sponsor a NASCAR Team. Yup, that’s right, I said NASCAR. It seems such an unlikely pairing until you hear about how wine could end up being the new Bud Light at the track… Continue reading

Here’s why… Continue reading

One of the most delicious things about traveling to new destinations is experiencing different cuisine. As part of my TRAVEL THERAPY I go out of my way to pick something on the menu I’ve never tasted before and when I discovered this delicious dish I begged for the recipe to take home with me. This is the perfect snack for watching football or to bring out for a holiday party. Big bonus, it comes from an award-winning chef and it’s even easy to make! Here’s the recipe… Continue reading

Okay, this photograph at the One&Only Palmilla pool shows how I felt after a recent tequila tasting in Mexico. Talk about your TRAVEL THERAPY. You just want to kick back and relax with the knowledge you now know how to pick a top-shelf tequila and can venture far away from the “popular” brands that are often overrated and over priced. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is if you’re going to drink any brand of tequila is make sure you’re drinking 100% blue agave, non negotiable, even in margaritas or else it can get ugly really fast! Here’s why… Continue reading

I’ve bellied up to the bar in search for the perfect margarita for quite some time, call if my own TRAVEL THERAPY. My quest started after my grandparents, who lived part of the year in Alamos, Mexico, would serve up the most magnificent margarita. My grandfather had a secret recipe and after he passed away my grandma tried to show us how to make them but they’ve never turned out the same. My uncle and I tried using Cointreau and the Mexican verison Controy but nada…Maybe it was the… Continue reading

It doesn’t get much better than kicking back at a resort spa like this and feasting on some tasty cuisine and I’m not talking about the usual “rabbit food” (uninspired “healthy” salads) that you usually find at the spa.
Celebrity Chef Charlie Trotter has just created a new spa menu where his special cuisine is not only healthy and low-calorie but amazingly tasty! Honest! You’re also full when you’re finished and there’s dessert… I just tried some of his delicious dishes at the spa at the One&Only Palmilla resort in Mexico ( picture above)…so give it a whirl…it’s a simple TRAVEL THERAPY …just follow these easy directions… Continue reading
