    Carrying On in Maui (Maui, HI)

    August 7, 2021 /

    I recently detailed our stay at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, where we experienced both highs and lows pertaining to the resort itself. Off property, carrying on in Maui was fabulous. From a succession of phenomenal meals to taking in the island’s most amazing sites and excursions—we had a magnificent time. My husband booked an a.m. Deluxe Snorkel Sail through Alii Nui Sailing Charters on one of our first mornings. The Alii Nui—a custom-built sailing catamaran that measures 65’ front to back and 36’ across—is one of a kind. It is certified for 100 passengers, but they cap their capacity at 45 for guest comfort. For $398 (two…

    Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea (Maui, HI)

    July 3, 2021 /

    If I am being honest, I’m quite tired of writing about COVID. Unfortunately, there is no separating our experience at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea from the coronavirus’s impact on our trip (No, we did not contract the virus—my husband and I stayed completely healthy). We were not even remotely concerned given our vaccination status, mandatory negative tests, the low COVID numbers throughout Hawaii, and our fabulous recent trip to Aruba. None of that really mattered, it turned out, as Maui was in a full production of pandemic theater. The Four Seasons Maui was designed with an open-air floorplan. The architecture is impressive: virtually none of the hotel…

    Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Revisited (Aruba)

    June 2, 2021 /

    We could have gone anywhere; we chose Bucuti. As soon as my husband and I secured a date to get vaccinated, we meticulously deliberated where we would take our first trip. We had the world to choose from, but the haven that called to us was Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. Readers of Carrying-On might remember our trip from March 2019, where I extolled the virtues of Aruba as the most revisited island in the Caribbean, Eagle Beach as one of the best beaches in the world, and Bucuti as a phenomenal adults-only paradise. What’s changed in the twelve years since our first visit is that we have gotten to…

    Carrying On at the Seashore (Cape May, Margate, Atlantic City, NJ) | Summer 2019

    September 19, 2019 /

    Depending on where you live in the U.S., ocean towns are generally referred to as “the beach,” “the shore,” or “the coast”. In our house, my husband lovingly calls this region “the seashore” (a holdover from vacationing along the southern New Jersey coast since age three). We both now hilariously refer to this region as “the seashore.” Let’s Begin with the Positives Cape May, located on the southernmost tip of the New Jersey coast, is one of the oldest seaside resort areas in America and offers a charming combination of beach and history. Beautifully restored Victorian homes line the streets and the coast―some homes are privately owned, others are available…
