Where we’re at: I’m jumping ahead to share my trip in October 2020 with Finger Lakes Wine Country. I’ll jump back into chronological time eventually! And PS: An exciting Wander Women Retreats announcement related to this post is coming soon — stay tuned! The holidays have come and gone — and I, like many, toasted to […]

Where we’re at: I’m recapping my summer of 2018, which included this trip to California in July.  I have a confession to make: after a few days in Santa Barbara, Ian and I had started musing that the dog friendly guide I was there to research would be the easiest post I’d ever had to write. […]

A booze snob, I am not. I tend to grab whatever white wine is on sale and I’ll generally plan to shrug at bottom shelf liquor as long as my ever-increasing-with-age hangovers allow — I’m a classy girl, I know. But I make a big exception when I’m traveling, in which case I’m all about drinking […]

How to Throw a Bachelorette Weekend in Nashville https://www.alexinwanderland.com/bachelorette-nash-bash-nashville/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bachelorette-nash-bash-nashville https://www.alexinwanderland.com/bachelorette-nash-bash-nashville/#comments Sun, 06 Aug 2017 14:00:00 +0000 https://www.alexinwanderland.com/?p=48685 Bachelorette Party in Nashville
So, is anyone in America not having their bachelorette party in Nashville these days? It seems almost every bride I know is considering having her last fling before the ring in Music City, and they aren’t alone if the knowing winks I get from anyone I mentioned my upcoming travels to were an indication. And why […]

It’s not called The Gulp Coast for nothing — The St. Pete and Clearwater craft beer trail is a sudsy brew-lovers dream. And it’s probably no surprise to regular Wanderland readers that I had zero plans to explore it. As a non-beer drinking blogger, brewery tours normally don’t have any place on my itineraries. However, my time in […]

There was just one last unwinding agent to attend to: wine. So far, our explorations of Thailand’s unknown wine country had been a wild success. Two days in the Khao Yai district had revealed three beautiful […]

After a […]

Appropriately, PB Valley — formerly known as Khao Yai Winery — was the second vineyard in the country to attempt growing wine grapes. Yet as the first winery to open in the now […]

Or perhaps dancing on the beach with a brightly colored pail of cheap whiskey and soda with a handful of straws chucked in. Or maybe sipping an overpriced cocktail at a […]
