I’m headed off to Italy for a couple weeks!
I’m traveling with some good friends, and am looking forward to seeing various part of that wonderful country. Art, culture, music. . . and, let’s face, it the great food and wine doesn’t hurt either.

Today’s Matchbook Monday features one of my favorite Mexico hotels, the Marriott Casa Magna Resort & Spa in the Marina Vallarta area of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
The hotel is a quick five minutes from the airport, and is located directly on the ocean. Try to secure a room with a view of it, if you […]
