You’ve got two
options: resort or rental. We’ve done both over the years, but I am starting to
enjoy resorts a little more now that we’ve got a toddler in tow. Having
everything right there, including a chair lift less than a block away, makes things
so much easier. This year we’ve stayed at both the Resort at Squaw Creek and
Northstar-at-Tahoe. Both are ideal for families...
I spent three terrific days in Toronto recently, touring hotels, lunching at Holts Renfrew, walking miles through the neighborhoods, and meeting great people. It’s only an hour’s flight from New York and despite the icy winter chill, I grew to really like the city.
Hotel options, as in any major financial and business center, range from detached convention hotels to small, luxury b...
It’s where everyone from Hollywood, fashion, and business, to discerning leisure travelers meets in Toronto. The Hazelton Hotel is equal parts sleek and comfortable, upscale and relaxing.

Scottish manse. It was their fourth visit. Almost 15 years ago, Lisa and
her husband, who were living in London at the time, were invited by
friends and shared the house with a bunch of DJ’s, club kids and a
fabulous dr...
There has been so much chatter about the uber-sleek hotels opening in New York City, including the much-buzzed about Aloft Harlem.
I wanted to find a very different alternative and trekked up to Harlem to visit The Sugar Hill Inn. I had heard that Europeans loved this bed & breakfast near City College, nestled among rows of brick townhouses.
With no outside indication that t...
Do you ever have moments where you are jealous of yourself? Every moment I spent at the Four Seasons Costa Rica on Peninsula Papagayo was better than the last. I don't say this lightly. The property, in one powerful word, is heavenly.
From New York, I flew to Atlanta and then directly to Liberia, Costa Rica. The name "Liberia" may conjure up thoughts of third-world c...
I just got back from Mexico, where my family and I spent the past week hanging out in the beautiful, laid-back, bougainvillea-strewn surf town of Sayulita. Keep reading

Okay, so we're typically not a fan of parking the kids in front of the boob tube — but desperate times call for desperate measures. And what could be more desperate than 12+ plus hours of stressful travel? If yo...

I’ll be the first to admit that my TV watching habits are a bit, well, excessive. Between my DVR habits at home and constant need to “catch up” when away, I’m a self-proclaimed TV Junkie – and, I...
