Vacation Inspiration
Wondering where to go next? Start here. I’ve ticked many must-sees off my list. Some of the trips were epic; others, overrated. And many under-the-radar destinations are more interesting than those that get all the press. Here’s where to go, what to do and tips you need to know.
I can’t drink red wine anymore🍷😢 I get a wicked headache after one glass (and who has just one😉) I’ve been on the prowl for a crisp, citrusy white and…ta da…Nova Scotia delivered Tidal Bay, its first wine appellation. It pairs perfectly with seafood but works well if you’re looking for a barefoot on the porch summer sip. I was tickled to find bottles for sale in the Halifax airport duty-free. #VisitNovaScotia #CompellingNovaScotia #whitewines #annapolisvalley #wolfville #domainedegrandpré

Chowder in Nova Scotia is NOT the consistency of wallpaper paste. And it’s served with tasty carbs…chive biscuits, popovers, toasted baguettes. I didn’t encounter one bag of stale oyster crackers on the #ChowderTrail
In addition to clams, Nova Scotia chowders feature the bounty of the local waters: haddock, mussels, scallops, lobster. 🦞 🎣🦪
Tasting my way through the province, I discovered lighter broths along the South Shore and heartier soups up north.
And, if you’re wondering, there’s no such thing as too much chowder. 😉

Will there be an uptick in #gardentravel after the proposal? 💍 One to put on your list is @kasteelkeukenhof, famous for its massive spring tulip display. 🌷But they also host a lovely and FREE dahlia celebration in late summer. Another wonderful reason to visit Amsterdam.
