The island of Nantucket, located 30 miles south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is only 14 miles long and 3-5 miles wide. Yet it has some of the most prominent landmarks not only in New England but in the USA.

With its endless, clean, windswept beaches, historic lighthouses and buildings, blooming gardens, and untouched nature, there is so much to see and do there.

Half of the idyllic island’s land is preserved, but many beautiful old and new local residences are available for short-term rent. So you can book one for a more authentic experience during your vacation there.

Here are some of the most famous places to add to your itinerary when you head to the “Little Grey Lady of the Sea.”

Potato Chip Rock is crazy, a little dangerous, and – much to the chagrin of locals – a darling of the Instagram crowd. Perched high above the arid valleys of Poway in Southern California, the very photogenic site repeatedly pops up in newspapers, blogs and social media streams around the world.

Hilariously, despite the fact that Potato Chip Rock is located 30 minutes from where I grew up, I had never visited. Considering the fact that Thomas and I have scoured the world for similarly unique locations, we thought it was about time we paid a visit. Continue…

Sometimes, we Californians start to take the state for granted. We whine and whinge about the traffic or the high cost of living, and some of us – god forbid – even start to wonder if the state is still worth it.

Superbloom 2019 is in full swing. From the Carrizo Plain to the Anza Borrego Desert, the hills are alive with fields of flowers. Continue…

Siberia isn’t the only place where global warming is causing the snows to recede revealing the mammoths below. California’s Mammoth, the world famous ski resort, is making a pretty grand statement about climate change this year. My dad and I took to the slopes in mid-January to discover a thin layer of artificially produced snow where 20 feet of fresh powder is the norm. Believe it or not, even much of the peak of Mammoth Mountain, which rises to 11,060 ft (3,371 m), was free of snow. Yikes!!!

While the snow was relatively absent, the warm sunshine was plentiful and the mountain views were spectacular. The 50-degree temperatures were a rather nice way to celebrate my dad’s 65th birthday. And for those keeping track, my dad kicked my butt on the slopes. While I was tentatively snow-plowing my way over the icy patches, he was zooming down the slopes like Continue…

Merry Christmas (or should I say “Marry Christmas”) from sunny San Diego. It’s supposed to hit a whopping 79 degrees (26 C) Christmas day!!! Yay, warm weather is exactly what we asked Santa Continue…
