I get so revved up about the beach that I start packing long before the first summer weekend begins on Fire Island. Sharing a beach house with numerous people requires a wee bit of discretion with regard to how much of yourself you let “hang out”, even among the dearest of friends.

Even though I have been in Cabo for 12 days, it takes some time to debrief. Living in this Mexican haven is very different than traveling on the tourist track. I spent last week running around organizing my life and chasing a 14 month old. This week I got smart, hired a nanny and decided the beach needed my attention. Sitting in my garden is a daily requirement. This lifestyle … Read More
