I was born and raised in New York. And while many “New Yorkers” will call me bridge and tunnel because I lived in Westchester, I still consider myself a local. I spent most of my life going back and forth into New York City with my family and I even considered moving there after I graduated college. But, I ultimately decided that city life was not for me. Now I try to head back there about twice a year to…
Have you ever been somewhere and when it’s time to check out, you don’t want to leave? That’s what Costa D’Este was like for me. The hotel was not only gorgeous, but the staff was absolutely incredible. Seriously, I’ve never encountered a nicer group of people (and I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels).

Needless to say, I fell in love with it. I think the tiny beach…

The Gates Hotel Key West is located on the Northern end of the island. If that makes you worried…
Do you have a place that you visited as a kid that you know you enjoyed, but you don’t remember it that much? Or what about a place that you need to be a certain age to really enjoy the full effect of it? That was Key West for me. So when I got the opportunity to head down there for a week, I jumped at it. And I won’t lie, I thought that I would be partying the entire…
