Secrets St James on Montego Bay, Jamaica

As I prepare for some Hawaiian island travel later this month, I keep thinking about our trip to Jamaica last spring. My husband and I took our college-age daughter and one of her friends on a beach vacation to recover from mid-terms. We stayed at the Secrets resort in St James on beautiful Montego Bay.

We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing stay at this hotel. We thought that the grounds were beautiful, the rooms were comfortable and the wide array of cuisine options on-site made it a fantastic destination hotel. In addition to that, they have a spectacular co-ed spa with multiple indoor water features, pools and saunas where we each enjoyed a stress relieving massage. The hotel also has a long stretch of beach with beautiful scenic views.

We spent almost all of our time at the resort venturing out only a few times. We left to enjoy a day of snorkeling and sailing, to have dinner on one evening at the House Boat restaurant which is famous for their Caribbean lobster and on one morning to climb the Dunn's River Falls, a favorite island excursion.

Based on this one trip, I would recommend the Secrets in St. James as a destination resort if traveling to Jamaica. We enjoyed everything and the views were spectacular throughout the grounds.

Sculpted in Steel - A Luxury Automobile Showcase from the Art Deco Era

Whether you are visiting the city of Houston or live here full time, if you are a car lover, there is one thing to do this spring that is a must-do.  Visit the Museum of Fine Arts Houston to check out the temporary luxury art deco automobile exhibit, Sculpted in Steel .  I toured the display recently and was impressed by the array.  This collection is   a showcase of seventeen cars and motorcycles designed between 1929 -1940. These vehicles are more than art cars or show cars, they are true art deco masterpieces. The museum has great information about the period and designers throughout the exhibit.  Go sooner rather than later, they will only be on display until May 30, 2016.

The New Tasting Menu at March

Starting with the house vermouth in The Lounge March, Goodnight Hospitality's tasting menu restaurant, is marching into the new season with Greece as  their latest culinary inspiration. March is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston for a fine dining experience. Though we do not have Michelin starred restaurants in Texas, this is certainly an establishment that would deserve their top ranking.  The latest rendition of the March Martini. I went on opening night to taste the 9 course Exploration menu with the 9 course Classic drink pairings. The Classic drinks menu features mostly wines from Greece while the pricier Premier menu features wines from around the world. I was more interested in trying the Greek wine selections with this new menu. The Lounge Snacks served on a Portuguese Surrealejos tile. My friend, Jeanette, and I arrived at 5:30 to enjoy some time at The Lounge before beginning our gastronomical adventure. All guests to The Lounge receive a pour of the house Ve...

Dinner at Bouchon Bistro in Yountville

After a phenomenal first day of wine tasting in the Napa Valley, along with an array of some excellent local cheese in the late afternoon, we found ourselves in the unfortunate position of not being as hungry as we would have liked when it was time to "get our  Bouchon  on."  It was an early reservation and, in spite of the plush surroundings,  the restaurant had a bit of a happy hour feel . We decided on the "build your own" cold seafood platter and some of the area's famous sparkling wine to get our evening started. A local couple at the next table struck up a conversation as soon as our order arrived. We had a great time discussing the Napa restaurant scene with them while enjoying our dinner. Bouchon: Highly recommended- beautiful dining room, excellent service, fresh seafood, a great wine list and friendly locals! Side Note: We, of course, also enjoyed Thomas Keller's famous boxed fried chicken at Addendum for lunch one day and Bouchon B...
