I am on a plane, chasing the sun to San Francisco. Kelly is still in Marseilles. I don’t want to come across as overly maudlin, but it’s almost physical, this missing of each other. We were lucky in the extreme to have been able to head to France for three weeks, and I will neverContinue reading “Musings on Pleasure”

Cote d’Azur
It has been a long time since the last post! Kelly has been hard at work managing our Instagram account (@addsomeglamour- check it out if you haven’t already!), and giving me a little bit of side eye about our posts here, or lack thereof, over the past three weeks. We spent a couple of weeksContinue reading “Cote d’Azur”
Minneapolis to Sioux Falls
Hello! We recently took a trip to Rapid City, SD via Minneapolis and Sioux Falls, and we had a great time taking in all of the roadside attractions, national parks and monuments. Kelly and I took this trip along with my two sons, aged 10 and 12, who had an absolute blast despite a coupleContinue reading “Minneapolis to Sioux Falls”
Jaco
Our time seemed to be flying by so rapidly on this trip. We woke after an evening strolling on the beach to the sounds of surf, and after breakfast we went out on the beach to enjoy the warmth of the water. You definitely need to be cautious of the rip currents at Jaco Beach-Continue reading “Jaco”
Monte Verde/ Jaco
We woke to a clear morning, and what would prove to be a clear day, which is out of the ordinary for what is usually a very misty Cloud Forest tour. We started with a smoothie and pancakes, met up with our German friends we met the night previously, and were taken up to theContinue reading “Monte Verde/ Jaco”
Monte Verde
We had a great night’s sleep again in La Fortuna and started early for Monte Verde, the cloud forest of Costa Rica, but not before a really fantastic breakfast at Arenal Manoa, La Fortuna. We drove for about 3.5 hours on good roads, except for when google led us astray on a ‘shortcut’: I knowContinue reading “Monte Verde”
La Fortuna
Oh and when we rose in La Fortuna! Something as majestic as that outside your window when you first open your eyes… Kelly and I were so dazzled we forgot about coffee for awhile and just stared. But not for long, as we had an all day tour booked with @jacamarnaturalist. We enjoyed an inContinue reading “La Fortuna”
The Fast and the Ticketed
We awoke again in a foreign land, utterly refreshed after a night in the Waldorf’s excellent bed, to the sounds of very little- it was still dark outside, but we were AWAKE! Nothing seemed amiss as we called for a new coffee maker, as ours wasn’t working properly. The staff of the hotel showed upContinue reading “The Fast and the Ticketed”
On The Palm
One of the best things about a trip to Dubai is the ability to have both city and beach experiences, all for the cost of one plane ride. In the morning, we said goodbye to the gorgeous hotel Oberoi and jumped into a taxi for the 20 minute ride south to The Palm Jumeriah. TheContinue reading “On The Palm”
City and Sand
Spring in Dubai is warm but not hot, so after the movie we went outside and walked along the enormous fountain pool in the center of the Mall complex. Nothing quite says money like a decorative display of water in a desert, and this fountain is extravagant! Yet, it pales in the shadow of theContinue reading “City and Sand”
