Yep, each Friday, local expert and veteran reporter Darlynne Reyes-Menkin hits the airwaves (webwaves? netwaves?) with Travel Like A Local – a half-hour travel show chock full of fun insider tips on what’s happening around town. Last week, she interviewed guests who spoke about all the summer activities at […]
Happy Hour is Tiki Time
I’m having a Calgon moment and a bubble bath won’t cut it. I need something stronger. What’s a girl to do when only a technicolor cocktail with an umbrella will suffice? Follow the lead of generations of Californians and embrace Tiki culture, of course. That way, I can take an exotic getaway – just for a happy hour […]

For those who have forgotten how much fun it is to play dress up and enjoy a cup of tea with your grandma/stuffed animals/imaginary friends, I advise you to throw on your best dress and head to the nearest tea room – stat. I brought my sorority alumnae group to Mrs. Burton’s Tea Room and Victorian Shop […]
Floral Frenzy at the San Diego Fair
Sure the San Diego County Fair is about rides, rodeos and crazy food concoctions, but I’d like to highlight my 2nd favorite part of the fair: The garden exhibits. My favorite part of the fair is actually the petting zoo, but writing a whole post called “My Love of Sheep” or “How I Wish I Could Hug All […]

Teeing it up at Sycuan Resort
One of the most overlooked aspects of San Diego is our abundance of great golf courses. Despite perfect weather and an amazing selection of courses we are still not given our due credit as a golf destination. I recently played a few rounds at the course where I learned the game, Sycuan Resort. The course […]
