A private villa with epic ocean views. Our own private infinity pool. Outstanding service and staff. The Conrad in Koh Samui, Thailand, is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed in anywhere. We loved our stay here! Everything from our …

Another trip to The Big Easy! A fun couple of days of relaxing, eating, and taking in the sights of New Orleans. We flew in on a Wednesday afternoon and checked into the J.W. Marriott right on Canal Street across …

Another annual Moab Fondo trip is in the books, as usual… what a fun weekend! Every year I look forward to this fun weekend of bikes and buds and this year did not disappoint. I headed down to Moab a …

We went on a Cruise

Not our typical style of vacation. Going on a cruise has never been on any of our travel to-do lists and it’s never been something we’ve even thought about doing! But, of course, we’re always up for trying anything and …

Nina’s friend came to visit us from Thailand for a month and when we asked her what she wanted to see in the U.S.A., she said Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Bryce Canyon. So we made some plans to do …
