If you read my blog with any regularity, you know that I love trains. So, needless to say, I’m pretty stoked about the planned “X Train” from L.A. to Vegas. It’ll be plush and very red–and you can gamble on board. What’s not to love? More details here or check out the website (Warning: turn [...]
Perusing the most recent issue of Travel & Leisure this morning, I discovered a wine country getaway at the Farmhouse Inn: Two nights, three-course dinner for two, plus breakfast, a bottle of wine, and coupons for local wine tastings for $512. As if I needed reason to start plotting our next trip to California. Go [...]
According to this article in the New York Times, several carriers are attempting to make travel during the holidays (delays, crowds, screaming children) a bit easier to bear–by offering free wifi. I’m hoping free wireless becomes the norm, although 30,000 feet in the air is one of the few places where I can actually claim [...]
Earlier this week, I received an email from US Airways letting me know that Preferred status could be easier than I thought: Instead of 25,000 miles, I only need to accumulate 7,500 miles by the end of the year. What’s more, if I already had status, those 7,500 miles would get me to the next [...]
My husband has a habit of leaving interesting articles ear-marked for me on my desk. It’s something I really appreciate as, all too often, I get so absorbed in whatever project I’m working on that I sometimes get a wee bit out of touch with the world. Take, for example, the fact that I didn’t [...]
I’m pretty annoyed with the recent Time article about how exercise and losing weight are not, in fact, linked. Or, to push the proverbial envelope even further, that exercising may lead you to eating more calories than you burn–which means by logging in those hours at the gym, you’re actually making yourself fatter.
It’s not that there [...]
When I was down in New Orleans a few months back for Tales of the Cocktail, I got the chance to eat at a slew of stellar restaurants, all helmed by young, talented chefs. Take a look at my top picks on today’s Tasting Table piece.
Though I haven’t figured out when I’ll be able to [...]
My latest endeavor has a new name, a new website, and a new Twitter account. We’re planning to set up a Facebook page, perhaps plot our endeavors on a new application called Everlater, and Mollie has conquered RSS feeds and Mail Chimp, so now you can get more Bikes and Biscuits than you ever knew [...]
The New York Post described Vegas as “one of the tastiest food cities in the Americas” in this article, which highlighting the Post’s top picks for eating out in Sin City. While I don’t agree with all the picks (Unbeatable meat at Tender? It’s got to be Wolfgang Puck’s Cut if you ask me), I give the piece a thumbs [...]
Right now, in Vegas, you can stay at the poshest hotels, see the best shows, and eat at the swankiest restaurants–and pay a fraction of what you would normally pay. I loved the recent Budget Travel article, in which Andrew Lincoln’s mission was to live it up in Sin City on a BT budget. Here, [...]
