Taking the plunge at the new Nordic Spa experience at @fairmontpacific … moving between steamy sauna to icy cold bath… it was certainly invigorating! I actually felt amazing afterwards!! Hard at work trying new hotels!
My son, @jackvogel is part of the crew taking @holdfastyacht from Barcelona to Antigua…he’s been asked to chronicle the trip…follow @holdfastyacht to see how their trip progresses. What an adventure!!!
Fabulous Keith Haring exhibit at @agotoronto He was such an important early activist for Aids awareness, education & safe sex. Sadly he died at only 31 from this horrible disease. Luckily his brilliant work remains…gotta love fun art with a message. This show is on til the end of March. I highly recommend it🩷
And that’s a wrap…John and I bought this house from his parents in November 2004…it’s been part of my life for 37 years. Now it’s time for something new…I hope the next family is as happy here as we were. 🥂…cheers to the next adventure (whatever that may be)
And that’s a wrap…back to real life.
Work! Work! Work! One of my favorite parts of being a travel advisor is checking out hotels. Today I visited @belmondlaresidencia in the stunning town of Deia. Sitting on 16 acres, the oldest part of the property dates from the 14th century. There are 70 rooms & suites, all unique but sharing a classic Mediterranean vibe. I love everything Belmond. They always have fabulous service and hotels that suit their environment. Somebody has to do it! 😜
