Dreaming......

Of a vacation. I have never in my LIFE been so cold as I have been the last few weekends (that I can remember ...my dad swears it was 8 degrees in AL one year when I was little) Anyways, I have the travel bug something bad and have been surfing the interweb all morning looking at dreamy places that I would love to visit, or in some cases, re-visit.

1. First up, Costa Smeralda, Northern Sardinia (near Porto Cervo) - the first stop on our honeymoon 5 and a half years ago. Costa Smeralda is Italian for "emerald coast" and is a tiny port town built by Prince Karim Aga Khan in the 1960s as an exclusive holiday village for the rich and famous with high end fashion boutiques, expensive restaurants, and luxury hotels. This place is seriously paradise. The food is incomparable, the locals are super friendly, we had the most amazing massages EVER at our hotel, the Costa Smeralda Cervo Resort and (the best part) a private beach overlooking the Mediterranean. Our favorite place to eat was this little local restaurant, Il Peperoni. Sardinian cuisine is simple and straightforward, made with only the freshest ingredients. The exception being this famous Sardinian specialty (warning - not for those with a weak stomach.)

2. L.A.: (or anywhere in CA basically!) I've only been once and am dying to go back. I think we spent 5 days there and there was never a moment where I thought "oh, I'm bored..." There is so much to do - the parks, the beaches, the dining, the shopping .... oh L.A. I puffy heart love you :-) A close second is San Francisco, where Chris and I got engaged. So romantic, so beautiful, so much wine to drink ;-)



3. Vegas, Baby! Fingers crossed I will make my pretty little way to WPPI this year. Prrrrrrrrobably not, but....a girl can dream, right?



4. I'll be going here in a couple of weeks for another one of these. woot! so excited :-)

5. Last but not least, I'll settle for this, which is where hubby and I will be this weekend celebrating Valentine's Day :-)
