Palm Springs She Bops for the Girls

My Auntie has been talking up Palm Springs for quite some time. It is her next dream destination, so on this girlfriend getaway weekend to get to know why “The Springs” is so good to us girls I was wide-open to soak in all of the wonderfulness of this desert oasis.

Go Girl: U.N. Guides 60 Years of Being a Guide to the World

I was 13 years old when my Auntie took my grandma and me to the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. That was more than 25 years ago, it was my first trip to the Big Apple, so we were of course doing all of the touristy things. But out of Broadway and Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, the museums and shopping the U.N. captured my imagination and remained in my memory the most.

Avoiding Those Fee Bombs

Go Girl: Escape in Style with EverGreen Escapes

“Is that our tour van?” Super G asks me as EverGreen Escapes’ Mercedes Sprinter van pulls up in front of Seattle’s train station. Nothing says style like the first impression, I was tickled by Super G’s expression as Dan Salvatora, our escape artist, what EverGreen Escapes calls its tour guides, opened the door of the van and helped us step up into our seats along with another guest for our half-day wine tour of one of Washington State’s wine regions.

See Portland As Never Before

I have been to Portland several times to visit one of my best friends who moved there a few years ago with her husband. The number of times I’ve visited didn’t equate knowing the Rose City. It was simply a place, with the world’s largest independently- and woman-owned bookstore, Powell’s Books (I confess I’m a bibliophile), not a city that I started to really get to know up until my last visit.

Chow: Louis Basque Corner Restaurant

I was super excited, my Guy Ferrari challenge was on after Babes (Heather) made reservations at Louis Basque Corner Restaurant. The restaurant was featured on Dinners, Drive-ins, and Dives on the Food Network and got rave reviews. Everything looked very promising the moment we walked through the front door.

Chow: 4th Street Bistro

Are we really in Reno? Is all we could ask ourselves as we sat outside in the open evening air enjoying a decadent meal with Edible Reno-Tahoe editor Amanda Burden and her girlfriend Jaci Goodman, and Girl Farm ventures sisters Channelle and Wendy Baroli’s partner, Jill Heaton, Ph.D. It wasn’t just the good company or the beautiful August weather, the ooohs and aaaahs we received from locals who asked us where we were going for dinner that evening is well deserved at 4th Street Bistro, Reno’s premiere restaurant.
