Crafting Experiences
We recently visited the Amalfi Coast with a group of friends. It was a wonderful getaway that requires planes, trains and automobiles to get there; but totally worth it.

In middle school, I decided to take French. I spent three years learning critical tips like the difference between Garçon and Garçon (one refers to a boy and one refers to a waiter).

As a rule of thumb, if you can get to anywhere in Western Europe from Washington DC for less than $650 round trip, it’s probably... Continue Reading →
My wife and I have had the opportunity to visit Napa three times in a little over two years. After visiting a number of wineries, we can say without fail that: Silver Oak, Cakebread, and Hall are hands down the best wineries we've tried in Napa, with Domaine Chandon coming in a close fourth. Over... Continue Reading →
My husband and I just returned from an international vacation in Crete, which featured a layover in Istanbul, and an overnight stay at an Air B&B in Athens. Our final location was absolutely breathtaking, but we also enjoyed the journey along the way. So often when people arrive at the airport, they focus on getting... Continue Reading →
