St. Petersburg was the next stop on our beyond-amazing adventure. Geesh, did we ever had a great time. Mind and eye candy were everywhere we looked. I decided to break up the St. Petersburg leg of our trip up into 2 posts because there are soooooo many photos and tons of information….& I don’t want… Continue reading Silver Lined Adventure: St. Petersburg, Part 1

Silver Lined Adventure: Moscow
Intriguing. That would be the one word I would use to summarize my feelings about our magnificent trip to Russia….planned for and executed by the indomitable Indagare (you know how much I loooooove this company!). What an incredibly Silver Lined experience (after the headache of getting a Russian Visa…but I’ll spare you those details). Back… Continue reading Silver Lined Adventure: Moscow
Home Sweet Home
The HOTY and I have just returned from the MOST amazing and remarkable and transformative trip to…RUSSIA! I am deliriously jet-lagged. I get completely verklempt with Daylight Savings Time, so you can just imagine what a whopping 11-hour time difference does to me! As an example, while unpacking today, I put a pair of shoes in… Continue reading Home Sweet Home
Silver Lined Packing
For years and years, I always forgot at least one thing on every trip. It didn’t matter if it was an overnight or multi-week trip…something (plural) was always missing! One time, the HOTY and I went to LA for a black tie fancy schmancy trip and what did I forget? My DRESS for the event. Ridiculous,… Continue reading Silver Lined Packing
Packing Checklist Before the Voyage
Thanks to my ever-present chemo brain, I have to make loads of lists to ensure that I remember to pack and do things before a trip, especially a big one! So, I came up with a checklist to (hopefully!) ensure that I get everything done and pack essentials (Silver Lining). Hope this is helpful for… Continue reading Packing Checklist Before the Voyage
Where in the World?
Next week, the HOTY and I are going on an outrageously amazing Silver Lined adventure…I am beyond excited about it! Below is a little teaser…three cities…can you take three guesses? Details to follow… * All images are via Tumblr. If you know to whom I can give credit, please let me know!
Cuixmala
Cuixmala is the sister property of Hacienda de San Antonio. Thanks yet again to Indagare, we had the unbelievably Silver Lined opportunity to visit Cuixmala on our way to the airport. Geez Louise. I couldn’t imagine anything prettier than the Hacienda de San Antonio…until I landed at Cuixmala. One of the big Silver Linings at Cuixmala is… Continue reading Cuixmala
Hacienda de San Antonio
Last week I had yet another Silver Lined adventure orchestrated by the ever-amazing Indagare. Holy Moly. What an amazing company Indagare is! Their tag line is: “The next generation of travel wisdom.” Oh how that describes the company perfectly! The week was a health and wellness jump-start at the Hacienda de San Antonio. I told you a… Continue reading Hacienda de San Antonio
The Proust Hiker
Hiking is one of my all-time favorite, Silver Lined activities. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to live in Santa Barbara, where the hiking is a gorgeous, year-round activity. Hiking is one of the few activities that stimulates and inspires me mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Without a doubt it enhances my overall well being.… Continue reading The Proust Hiker
Disney World Silver Linings
The HOTY, Finally Five and I have just returned from a trip Disney World. It was my first time there (yes, I’m 41). I made plenty of assumptions before going (about lines, etc., etc., etc.), but, those conjectures were cast aside the moment that I arrived. If ever there were a place for Silver Linings, it’s Disney… Continue reading Disney World Silver Linings
