A visit to The High Line has been on my New York City “activities to do list” for quite a while. We have been in New York many times, but Craig and I finally made it a priority. Shame on me, shame on us, I can’t believe I waited so long! It is truly incredible. …
Do you have a vegetable garden?

What is it like to stay in a Presidential Suite? Two words: Fab-ulous! Have you ever wondered what a Presidential Suite might look like? What does Presidential mean exactly?
