On the Road: Puerto Rico

I've been a horrible blogger, but I have an excuse, a really good one; I promise. After traveling to Las Vegas for work two weeks ago, my husband and I went to Puerto Rico for our honeymoon. See? Really good excuse. The Internet at the house we rented was out due to the storm so my well-thought out plan of sending trip reports via my new iPad didn't work out.

Throughout the rest of the week and some of next week, I'll take you on a tour of the Kioskos (we ate at three), walk you through our last meal in Puerto Rico where we dined at Pasta y Pueblo (hands down the best meal of the trip), show you some of my favorite architectural details from around Old San Juan, and review our adventures with airport food (yes I really did photograph the food we ate in the airport). In case you're impatient and want to see more of our honeymoon now, I've created a gallery on Flickr.

What were the best things about Puerto Rico (I'm purposely excluding spending time with my husband and being surrounded by nearest and dearest friends)? Here are my top 3:

1. Friendliness of the Puerto Ricans
2. Food
3. Architecture

Bon Apetit!

On the Road: Las Vegas, NV

A few times a year I travel for work. Typically I'm off to New York or Las Vegas; this week was no exception, I was back in Las Vegas for Interop.

As with any trade show, there are highlights and lowlights. The highlights were a team kickoff dinner at Lindo Michoacan and a dry aged steak at Gallagher's. The lowlight was poor customer service at both Border Grill (the food made up for the service in this case) and Fleur (sadly the food here failed).

I'll share more details next week, including a flashback to my dinner at Fleur de Lys (now replaced with Fleur) on my last Vegas trip.

Bon Apetit!

Road Trip: Reno for the Weekend

This past weekend we headed up to Reno to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday. There was food - lots of food, spring blossoms, gambling, and thrifting. All in all it was great to escape the Bay Area. Below are some of the highlights. More photos on Flickr.

Did you have a good weekend?
