Summer’s almost here, JetSetters! Here are the “shore things” I’m packing in my beach bag. The Best of Us Sarah Pekkanen’s novel is the perfect beach read, as frothy and refreshing as a perfectly blended mojito on a sweltering summer day. Crack the cover and follow four longtime girlfriends and [...]
To say I’m a handbag lover is a bit of an understatement. I’ve amassed quite the comprehensive collection of satchels, totes, clutches and top-handles in my time. Yet somehow the search for the perfect purse continues unabated. My latest lust: the nifty clutch from Everpurse, which not only looks chic [...]
I thought the swimming pigs would be the highlight of the day. Boy, was I wrong. I was on a day trip in the Exumas, the 365-island Bahamas archipelago famous for crystal clear waters, talcum sand and some of the world’s best fishing. Our captain Ray Lightbourne and his son [...]
What’s not to love about Grand Cayman’s Seven-Mile Beach? Sugar-white sand; glassy turquoise waters; a string of hotels, restaurants and bars right on the sand (shout out to Calico Jack’s!); and a lively, in-the-thick-of-it vibe. But sometimes even the beach-iest bum wants to take it down a notch and chill [...]
As any retail maven knows, shopping is hard work. Pounding the pavement, wrestling the crowds, combing clothing racks … it takes real stamina. Which is why it’s prudent to back away from the bargains every now and then for a refreshing pause. Duck into a café and savor a coffee, [...]
Tooling around a resort in a golf cart is fun but hardly unusual; every other luxury hotel bigger than your back garden uses them to ferry guests around the property. But at Petit St. Vincent, a sophisticated but un-stuffy 115-acre private-island resort in the Grenadines, they go one better, transporting [...]
I popped into my local Target a few days ago only to find that the aisles of Christmas decorations had already been replaced with all manner of Valentine’s Day paraphernalia. Which started me thinking about some of the most romantic Caribbean places I’ve visited over the last six years. Those [...]
I couldn’t have been happier to hear that, beginning in April, American Airlines will start flying direct from Miami to Martinique. When I visited for the first time last summer it was an all-day haul, with an evening connection through San Juan, Puerto Rico that meant we didn’t arrive until [...]
I’ve always wanted a travel companion. No, not the human kind (plus-ones can be dreadfully high-maintenance). I wanted an action figure or object I could take with me on trips and photograph in exotic places; the artistic equivalent of scrawling “Sarah was here” all over the world. And after years [...]
I flew internationally at least once a month last year. The bad news: None of those flights was in First Class. The good news: Returning from all of those trips was made infinitely more bearable – dare I say pleasurable – because of one thing: Global Entry is a government [...]
Instead of resolving to exercise more, lose weight or quit smoking in 2013, why not make some travo-lutions instead? Here are some of the places I’m vowing to see over the next 12 months. Barbuda Antigua’s sleepy little sister scores big points with me. The reason: Low Bay, where 17 [...]
