Carrying off the art of one carry-on

“Phileas Fogg had Passepartout, Bertie Wooster had Jeeves and Sir Edmund Hillary had a retinue of stalwart Sherpas. The rest of us, alas, must schlep our own bags.
That’s the best reason to pack light, but it’s not the only one. By limiting ourselves to one carry-on, we can be off the plane and halfway to […]

Vacation Fashion - Dressing it up or down

Well, we are quite familiar with skinny jeans, but pants seem to be going in the the same direction. And what I especially like is how versatile they can be.

Fashion on Vacation

This is always one of my biggest worries. How do the natives dress? Okay, to some of you this might sound bizarre, but the last thing you want to look is either under-dressed or over-dressed while on vacation. This is pretty close to perfect and I will tell you below the photo.

You Will Need a Hat

Chances are you will be spending a lot of time out of doors while visiting the south and hats aren’t simply reserved for the little ones. You are going to need one too. The sun can not only damage your skin, it can do some nasty things to your hair as well.
