When the captain of our boat suggested we stop by a restaurant on our return from Capri to our hotel (sidebar: renting a private boat > ferry to Capri), we shrugged and thought, ‘He’s a local guy, so he probably knows best.’ And I’m glad […]
When an invite to La Tablita came through (via Instagram — gotta love modern technology), as an admitted fan of Mexican food, I was delighted to accept. While it’s rare I visit this area of town (Healthcare City, specifically the Hyatt Regency Dubai Creekside), there […]
It’s been a busy couple of weeks, full of some stress, but I’m now 100% looking forward to our trip to Australia — we leave tomorrow! Here’s some new links to share: Fairly certain I’ve already posted this. (But I still want to go). Have you […]
