A scant 5 minutes from our residence in San Francisco, yet one of our favorite hotels? Believe it.

PALM SPRINGS
CALIFORNIA
We like it here so much we're afraid it could become a habit. Here's how to develop one of your own.
MONTECITO/SANTA BARBARA
CALIFORNIA
For two years straight, this is near the top of any of the places we've visited. Meghan and Harry aren't wrong.
MENDOCINO/ANDERSON VALLEY
CALIFORNIA
The dreamscape, replete with beaches and vineyards.
CAPE COD

As I say, who knew? Now that we do, we can't wait to return. Amongst the finest beaches in the world.

VERMONT
The Goldilocks of a visit to New England.
TUPPER LAKE AND THE ADIRONDACKS (SUMMER)
NEW YORK
More, more, more ADK, this time in the warmer months.

A different and shorter trip to Wine Country.
SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO/WEST TEXAS
NEW MEXICO & TEXAS
A vacation itinerary that no one, and I mean no one, has published before.
FRONT RANGE
COLORADO
The summer vacation of your (and my) dreams.
ARIZONA BILTMORE

Who says you can't go home again? We did and The Arizona Biltmore is as good as ever.
THE SEA RANCH

One does not need to visit Formentera to chill.
SANTA FE
NEW MEXICO
Wide open and beautiful skies. Only-here restaurants and museums. Idyllic weather. After 3 weeks, we still wanted more.
LOS ANGELES
CALIFORNIA
Wonder what Christmas in Beverly Hills would be like? So did we.
