After a sunny day exploring the island of Capri, it was fun to take the chair lift in Anacapri all the way to the very top to take a view of the island and surrounding area. The fog rolling in on one side of the island created quite a juxtaposition with the sun on the […]
If the thought of a fine bag, a decadent pair of heels, or the feel of the fabric of a finely crafted suit makes you swoon, then an afternoon on the Champs-Élysées in Paris may be your definition of heaven.
Avenue des Champs-Élysées is not only one of the most recognized street names in Paris, […]
One more photo from my travels in Italy, this one along the water in Sorrento. I love the way these hotels and residences are carved into the sides of the hill, offering great views of the area.

Today I have a guest post from Leyla Giray from Backpacking Women on the Road.
Now I know what you must be thinking. . . “MJ, you’re not a backpacker.” Well, that might be true enough, but there’s all sorts of things backpackers can teach the rest of us about travel, and one of those […]

After a few days in Rome, I’m off to Tuscany where I’ll be staying at a farmhouse located on a vineyard and olive orchard. A little agri-tourism, and a relaxing environment, that will serve as a perfect spot for day trips into the charming little towns in the area.
Maybe I’ll fall in love with the […]
