Several spring breaks ago, our family ventured west and stayed at Under Canvas Zion as part of an amazing red rocks adventure. Let me know if I can help you immerse yourself in the landscape with a fun glamping stay. And if you prefer walls and air conditioning (recommended for summer!), I can help with that, too.

With head-turning scenery, noticeably fresh air, an endless array of incredible outdoor experiences, a deep-rooted heritage and the some of the most generous and genuine people you’ll ever meet, a trip to Corvara in the Italian Dolomites should hold a spot on everyone’s bucket list.

From biking to paragliding, hiking to horseback riding, fishing to zip lining and so much more, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy in this natural paradise.
 
To make your Dolomites adventure even more special, I recommend staying at Hotel La Perla.

A destination in itself with its local charm, passion fueled hospitality and family history, a stay at Hotel La Perla is sure to pull at your heartstrings in the best way possible.

And when you work with me, you’ll have access to special perks that will make you feel like a gold medalist — even before the Winter Olympics kick off in Milan and the Dolomites in February!🏅🥾🏔️🎷🐐

Female saints of Sicily: Same same.
Dora cooked a fantastic feast for our group at a hilltop villa and then emerged from the kitchen to fill cannoli for us.

Santa Rosalia became a saint after living as a hermit in a cave in the 12th century to avoid a marriage of “convenience.” I can only imagine her platter being filled with Dora’s cannoli!

Each July, Rosalia is celebrated with a festival in Palermo. In the 1700s and 1800s, this festival was a hot ticket on the Grand Tour!

Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, dating to the early 5th century, is one of four major papal basilicas in Rome and possibly the first Marian church (dedicated to the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary).

I arrived in Rome, landed at my daughter’s apartment in Trastevere for a nap and we met my niece who had also just arrived in Rome. Because she is staying near Termini station, we popped over to this beautiful church nearby on Friday evening before dinner.

Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the four churches where pilgrims have been encouraged to visit since 1300 to enter through the Holy Doors. The porta santa are sealed from the interior with mortar and cement except for during the Jubilee years, which Pope Boniface VIII instituted in 1300.

We were lucky to visit Friday night with no lines and enter through the Porta Santa (Holy Doors). This church has had art and architecture enhancements over the centuries, and the magnificent mosaic of the Coronation of the Virgin was completed in 1296.

My other favorite is the geometric stonework underfoot. The inlaid floor patterns known as Cosmati are typical of Medieval Italy, particularly in and around Rome.
