Tales of the Cocktail #totc

Tales of the Cocktail is one of those events that is still unknown to many, but has a cult following in the cocktail afficianado circles.

This is my third year to attend, and while I am no spirits expert, I do enjoy the discovery of new cocktails, new spirits on the market, and where the best mixologists are from.

Tales isn’t just about tasting rooms, but provides education on the history of various cocktails and who invented them.

The seminars, spirited dinners, tours, and cocktail conversations make this event legendary to cocktail enthusiasts and brings in visitors of all demographics and from all over the world.

If you didn’t make it this year, you can save the date for next year, the 10th anniversary July 25-29, 2012 in New Orleans, LA.

London Mother-Daughter Shopping Holiday at The Capital Hotel in Knightsbridge

London and the UK always holds a special place in my heart. My grandmother was English (from Northamptonshire) and I spent every other weekend of my childhood sipping tea and listening to her tell me stories in her English accent. My first visit to the UK wasn’t until after she passed away, but each time…

Indulging in a weekend escape at Houston’s Hotel Indigo

I’m not that big of a shopper EXCEPT when I’m on vacation. When I visit Houston, Texas, I almost always stop at The Galleria which has more than 375 stores and restaurants. It’s the fourth largest mall in the country and even has an indoor ice skating rink. Deciding to have a shopper’s weekend, I…
