Dinner in Bangkok, anyone?

Santorini

This photo probably explains why Greece is on my bucket travel list. The Grace Hotel looks spectacular..... I'm not sure I could afford the rates, but I can always hope......:) Happy Travels!

Chalet Amazon Creek

How awesome does this place look? Adding to my travel list stat!

Erin Go Bragh!

These are are a few of the Celtic crosses that I've collected from family trips over to Ireland over the years. I started collecting them when I was in my late teens, with the idea that I would have a wall of crosses one day. I probably have about 100 or so (not all from Ireland - I have several from Scotland, England and other places I've traveled), and sadly I don't really have enough space in my house or even an empty wall that would work. So for the time being, I only have about a dozen or so hung up. These are some of the most meaningful and sentimental ones I have and remind me of special times with my family, especially my grandmother who has since passed away. I still miss her laugh and her travel stories every day, and I know she would have loved to have seen these all together :) Slainte!

Snowless winter in Michigan

Seeing this photo of a snowball fight in Times Square makes me really miss not having any snow this winter. Today was almost 50 degrees and sunny. In February. In Michigan. Last year it felt like we were living in the tundra, and this year feels like winter has passed us over completely.

(but I do love this sunshine, so I'm not complaining ;)

Kayaking with the whales

I'm not sure if this photo is real or not, but it has me totally mesmerized!

Champagne wishes and Santorini dreams

I would LOVE to rent this villa in Santorini with a group of friends. Ridiculous views!!

I'm not sure where this was taken, but it looks incredible!

Chicago Winter Week-end

 Gorgeous Christmas trees in the Walnut Room at Macy's

Christkindle Market

Mmmm......Dinkel's hot chocolate :)

One of our tapas dishes at Mercat. The picture looks horrible, but it was one of the best desserts I've ever had.

Ahhhh......

Misool Eco Resort in Indonesia

Chihuly

Chihuly in Venice - would love to see this someday!

Elephants in Thailand

There's something about this photo that makes me want to jump on a plane and head to Thailand.....elephants roam free on the resort grounds of The Four Seasons there. So exotic and beautiful!

Sweet dreams......

Maldives

It's 45 degrees, cold, rainy, windy and crazy busy at work......dreaming about this :)

Costa Careyes Resort

Costa Careyes Resort in Jalisco, Mexico
Via Travel Channel

I came across this hotel while I was planning an upcoming trip. The castle rents for $7,000 and up, so it doesn't look like I will be staying there anytime soon, but it's fun to keep on the travel wish list!

How cool would it be to travel with this bag?

Damn straight.

Yellowstone adventure!

I've traveled pretty extensively over the years, and I think this is one of the strangest, funniest things I've ever encountered on a trip. (Yes, this is real - no editing!) We had spent some time up in Big Sky, Montana and were heading back to Jackson Hole and came across him right outside of the entrance into Yellowstone.
