Honestly, where has August gone? Can someone tell me? A crossword themed cruise… Uh, maybe? An updated list of the most expensive restaurants in the world. Ina Garten avoids this ingredient (but I love it). Rachel of Life on the Wedge asks a great question […]
Full disclosure, I’ve recommended this venue to people without having ever visited. In fact, just last weekend, friends were in town from Abu Dhabi and looking for a suitable breakfast place. I told them about Fume and got a text during the morning telling me how impressed […]
On average, I stay in a hotel at least once a month (and usually more nights than that). While the majority of my experience is in the GCC, I have been to a few other countries (and took the research of my novel pretty seriously). […]
