sneak peek // two nights in dublin
In Dublin’s fair city, where the girls are so pretty… we ate a lot of hamburgers and drank a lot of pints. Don’t worry, we made the most of our two nights in Dublin. Yes, there were pints! But they were mixed in other much more civilized things, such as afternoon tea at The Westbury, drinks with Fiona from Travel Edits, and a tour of Ardgillan Castle. If you remember, an extended stay in Dublin wasn’t originally on our itinerary. But as we were planning, our friends at Aer Lingus convinced us it was the perfect layover city on your…

A place where the beer flows like wine and the beautiful women flock like the salmon of Capistrano! …did you get there yet? Dublin! (insert beer, leprechaun, and clover emoticons here) When we realized our flight back from Geneva had…

the lazy travelers’ guide to paddy’s day
On St. Patrick’s Day, everyone in America wants to be a little bit Irish. I confess: I’m guilty of playing up my half-Irish heritage every year on March 17th (who wouldn’t!), and St. Patrick’s Day has been and will always be one of my favorite holidays. As a little girl, I remember gathering at my Nan’s house with my family, stuffing myself with Irish potatoes, much to my German mother’s disdain. As an adult, I unabashedly wear my green and spend the day at the pub with Irish and non-Irish friends alike. That’s the Irish-American way. Three years ago, the…
