There’s something romantic about a dining car on a train and the Southwest Chief did not disappoint! The food options were great–healthy & tasty for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Butternut squash chicken salad and a signature steak for dinner? Yes, please!

Kelley started off her Amtrak cross country journey in the snowy Chicago. She picked the well rated Hotel Palomar as her home base and the hotel did not disappoint. From the great location, comfortable rooms and 5 pm happy hour, Kelley was pleasantly with all facets of the hotel and would give it 7 out 10 stars!
I had wanted to go to Puglia, Italy for so long so when My Brindisi Tourism launched a video contest to go, I had to enter. I toured around New York City, asking locals & tourists for help in my entry video, and lo & behold, I won! I was sent to Puglia this past October to experience the region and hotel that I had been dreaming of. Thank you to Niccolo Lania, my expert filmmaker!
Get Lost in Sonoma!
With so many local farms, it’s no wonder that might weekend in Sonoma involved some of the best food that I’ve ever had! From tasty pastries at Costeaux in Healdsburg to a snout-to-tail lip-smacking lunch at Zazu to gourmet dinners at the Girl & the Fig–dining in Sonoma is as beautiful to look at as it is to indulge in!
