Southern Irealnd



If I was not living in the United States I would live in Ireland. The beautiful scenery to the friendly people make it a great place to be, and as a girl, I felt safe walking home from a pub in the middle of the night by myself. Southern Ireland is really a true emerald island. Everything is so green, probably because it rains a lot, but it makes a scenic island. The Cliffs of Mohr with a 600 foot drop is breath taking. Driving to Connemara is not something to miss either. The typical rolling hills which make up the extensive farm land are endless and beautiful, and you will drive to the Kelyemore Abby, which is a sight in itself. Most people that visit southern Ireland think that Dublin is just another "city" I personally found so much history and culture there, it is good to spend a full day sightseeing, shopping and exploring St. Patrick's Cathedral. My two most favorite places, which are very close to each other, in the country are the enchanting town of Kerry and the beautiful views and drive of the Dingle Peninsula. The Dingle Peninsula is a must see!
Ireland can be explored by back packing, staying in a bed and breakfast (which is my favorite because you can really explore the culture), and by the luxury of gorgeous hotels and castles. I was fortunate to stay in the Drumoland Castle, which is a real working castle today. The grounds as well as room were amazing, it is a 5 star, expensive but worth every penny hotel. You are treated like royalty when staying here. Ireland is a great country for everyone. There is plenty to do and see. The food is great and so are the pubs!

Bodega Louie

Having a Sunday brunch in a metropolitan area is always fun. The hustle and bustle of the city life, people are out and about with a purpose and somewhere to go, or maybe nowhere to go but just pretending like they do. It makes you feel important to be out having that brunch on Sunday. It makes you feel like it is ok that you missed church that morning because you get to have brunch at a "hot spot." And most likely you will feel even more important and happy when you leave because you get to have the "champagne special" or a "spicy Bloody Mary." Well that is just how it is when you venture to Bodega Louie in Downtown Los Angeles. The decor, the linens, the pastry display are as posh and trendy as they come. Going into this restaurant, with a full bar, I was hesitant because I had my 18 month old daughter with me, but it is so loud and the staff is so friendly, it was not a problem at all having her there. I have been in other higher end restaurants where c

The Washington Plaza, DC

                The Washington Plaza Hotel is a little tiny slice of Miami put in the middle of Washington DC.   The architecture of the hotel is very modern and airy with elegance.   It is light and vibrant with some color which is different and refreshing for being in Washington DC.   Most of the hotels in DC don’t have the resort fell to them and the Washington Plaza definitely does.   The rooms are very spacious with comfortable and fun colors.   There is a huge presidential suite that can be rented for a very large amount of money, but if you are looking to have a Miami experience in DC, and have the money, then it could be worth it!   The big draw to the Washington Plaza Hotel is that there is a beautiful outside pool.   It is very chic and there is pool service from the bar and restaurant.   Most of the hotels in DC, if they have a pool, it is indoor, so this is one of the most appealing features of the hotel.                   The hotel also offers two tasty restaurants
