As I mentioned the other day, I have been bitten by the travel bug or perhaps I was born with it (the more likely story). In any case, I love Fall in New England so I don’t like to travel too far and one of my favourite places to go when there is a chill…

Travel to Toronto: Hôtel Le Germain Maple Leaf Square
Toronto isn’t my city. My city is Boston and when I talk about “the city” I mean NYC. On the other hand, Toronto is the city I grew up with. It was the place we drove a little over an hour to visit family and friends for special occasions or planned a trip to for…
Spring Break: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Spring Break in New England is a bit of a dilemma. It is when the flowers start blooming. The weather is great and you just want to stay put to enjoy spring’s début. On the other hand, it is a full week with no school for the kids and if you’re lucky you can take…
Car Treats: Summers on the Run
In the summer, we somehow find ourselves spending a lot more time in the car and a lot more time outside. From trips to the pool and beach to carpools to and from camp, the car is our home away from home. With hungry swimmers and campers, avoiding extra stops and getting from “point a”…
The Porches Inn: North Adams
North Adams is an interesting little spot in Western MA. We like to go there in the Fall for a little hike, a little art, and a little r & r. We also love going there in the Winter for some outdoor winter swimming, some small beans family resort downhill skiing and a little…
A Contemporary Element in a Historical Setting: Godfrey Hotel Preview
Downtown Boston, is a funny sort of mosaic. There is a lot of history in Boston, some of colonized America’s, oldest history in fact. Boston is also a small city in the sense that everything is close by and it is easy to walk from one section to the other. The North End is next…
Trot Trot to Hudson: Foliage and Tasty Food in Hudson, MA
I have no idea where most of New England actually is. I hear names of towns that all sound vaguely familiar and each town seems to have a similarly named town to the North, East and West of Boston. As a family we’d head out to some small town for various festivals or occasions. Town…
Back to School & Back in Time: American Girl Grace Thomas Train Ride
As children are making the transition from carefree summer days to the structured days of school, you don’t have to put away your suitcases and bathing suits quite yet. School-free weekdays may be over, but it’s still summer outside and a weekend trip here or there is a great way to tiptoe towards fall. Easing back into reading…
Mother’s Day on The Vineyard: The Other Vineyard
I love to travel. I don’t have to travel far to enjoy a trip. As a parent, sometimes the only way to break away from the routines of daily life that blend from work to parenting and back 24/7 is to pack up the family, shut the door behind you, and get away. For those…
Mother’s Day Celebrations Three Ways
One of the reasons I love living in New England, especially this time of year when the snow has melted (except this year’s snow farms) and the buds are blooming, is that New England is a wonderful place to travel. Mother’s Day weekend can be an outing into Boston for a stroll and brunch or…
Women In Travel Summit (WITS15): A stroll through Harvard
This morning I got to be a tourist in my own city. Here is a little photo tour of Harvard. For more details about the history of Harvard check out our guide Casual Traveler’s post here.
Un-Weekend Guide
This weekend I have no guide for you except this. (which I meant to post yesterday but life pulled me away from the screen and I’m only getting back to you now….) Stop everything else even if it “must get done” because it still can probably wait a bit and do something you love. For…
