Working from home means, I make the rules about what my office space looks like. Now that summer has finally arrived in Vermont, that means my porch. ⠀
⠀
Connectivity is key. Our internet bandwidth is stretched to the limit with four members of my family home during the #CovidQuarantine. Luckily having a @myskyroam Global WiFi device means I have my very own fast 4G LTE hotspot. I could share my Solis Lite with up to 10 devices, but currently, I am keeping it on the down-low. It also acts as a power bank, so I never need a power outlet. For now, it is my little secret. ⠀
⠀
Although I'm thrilled to be working from home, I am itching to get back out there and travel. My Skyroam Solis Lite means I can literally work from anywhere, which is good because who knows what the future will look like for my office. After all, @Twitter's CEO said his employees could #workfromhome forever. ⠀
⠀
Wouldn't that be nice?⠀

Never in a million years did I think I’d be I’

Never in a million years did I think I’d be I’d be checking into a @fourseasons hotel during a Pandemic.

Today my brave son is donating his stem cells at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. •
•
•
Last year he was swabbed for the @giftoflifemarrowregistry during an event at @gwuniversity. Little did he know that simple cheek swab would become a life-changing experience and an act of kindness he could never have imagined doing during a pandemic. •
•
•
While he was home for Christmas break, he found out that he was a potential match for a patient. A blood test confirmed that he was indeed a match for a 70-year woman suffering from Leukemia, a type of cancer that is found in blood and bone marrow. They needed his healthy stem cells to help save her life. He was initially scheduled to donate his cells at a collection center near his school in Washington, DC this Spring. However, with the COVID-19 Pandemic, that wasn’t possible.
•

To our surprise The @fsbostondalton graciously offered us a room for free to honor of one of its staff members who received a bone marrow transplant that ultimately saved his life. I plan to return to the hotel for years to come. It is a beautiful property with an amazing staff. We will forever be grateful to them for providing us with a safe haven during this time. •

I couldn’t be prouder of @flynn_freeman who did not let the coronavirus pandemic stop him. In a selfless act of kindness, he became somebody's hero. He risked his life during this unprecedented time to give a stranger the Gift of Life ❤️

#Travelers from all over the world come to visit @shelburnefarms, a 1,400 acres working farm and National Historic Landmark on the shores of Lake Champlain. .

It is 15 minutes from my home in Vermont. We have been coming here for the last twenty years. When our kids were little they learned to milk a cow, hold chickens and attended programs and camps at the farm barn. We have celebrated birthdays and anniversaries at the restaurant in the Inn. During the spring, we’ve watched them boil sap into maple syrup in the sugar shack. And we have always hiked the paths and walking trails.

Thanks for keeping the property open during this time when we all need a place to get away from it all.

I am in a #traveltimeout.

#travelinfluencers and #travelwriters around the world have had their businesses put on hold. Will it be the end of us? Absolutely not. We are counting on our trips and articles being postponed, not canceled.

It is hitting our bottom line as @taylorlornez wrote about in the @nytimes yesterday. Hopefully though this is temporary and we can make it up in the second half of 2020. .

Behind the scenes we are trying to figure out the best way to support the #travel industry during this unprecedented time. It would be #toosoon to tell you there are going to be great deals on cruises, flights and hotel rooms. However, we will be there when the time is right to encourage you to start planning #travel again.

So no, I am not in Mexico right now but I was two weeks ago and I am already planning my return trip later this year. Please don’t count us out. We are still here thinking about #traveling . . . . .

We just had the best 24 hours in Montreal.
Got tattoos at @adrenalinemontreal.
Checked-in to our @airbnb .

Had lunch @dandy.mtl where we got a recommendation for drinks @barfurco.
Drank fabulous espresso martinis at @bargeorgemtl in the @lemountstephen hotel.

Saw the @thelumineers at @centrebell.mtl.
Went to the @ritzcarltonmontreal for a night cap.

Got up this morning and had breakfast @tommymontreal.
Walked around old town.

Stopped by @marcheatwater to pick up stuff for dinner and then headed back to home to Vermont.

Perfect. 📷 @raulbad68

I always prefer the road less traveled. I have found it here in San Poncho, Mexico. This sleepy surf town is just north of Sayulita on the pacific coast.
It is just the right size. The pace is slow. The locals are kind. The food is authentic. The beach is pristine.
There are no crowds. No chain hotels or stores with names you would recognize, just a few boutiques and surf shops.

This is a place I could return to again and again. #satw

Work mode off. I love to travel for work, but I love to #travel for myself more. Enjoying this view from my @airbnb in San Poncho, Mexico very much.

I love living in #Vermont. I can’t imagine not getting a chance to ski on all of the fresh powder. I’ve gotten so used to skiing on ice I forget how amazing this is.

So happy to have been home this weekend, instead of #traveling. Family time is everything.

It happens in the blink of an eye. Zero to eighteen. Grateful that she’ll still ride the lift with me, even if we are silent.

When your children are little you are always wishing time would speed up.

Sleep through the night
Sit up
Crawl
Walk
Talk
Learn to ski
Learn to read
Learn to write
First day of kindergarten
First day of high school
Learn to drive
Be independent
Get a job
Go to college

Oh how I wish time would slow down.

Did you know that @regentcruises #SevenSeasExplorer is an all-suite, all-balcony and all-inclusive luxury #cruise ship? Yep, you don’t have to worry about a thing. Even international business class airfare is included!

After spending some time on board her, I can tell you she is genuinely ‘the most luxurious cruise ship ever built!’ She is exquisite.

The crew is amazing. They know more than just your name. They know which table you like to sit at, how you take your coffee, and what drink to bring you while you are lounging by the pool. it feels as though they can anticipate your every need. ⬆️ See the link in my bio for a full review of Regent’s all inclusive experience ⚓️ #ExperienceRegent #RSSCPartner

Waking up with coffee and sunshine. I’m really loving the city views from my huge balcony @thegabrielmiami.

Being a @hiltonhonors Diamond member has its benefits.

You literally need to win the lottery to stay at the Stone Hut. Located at the top of Mt. Mansfield, at @stowemt, this coveted cabin is one of the hardest places in Vermont to score a reservation. Check out @vtstateparks if you want to stay here.

Originally built in 1935 as a warming hut it was rebuilt in 2016 after a fire destroyed it. The one room Stone Hut can sleep 12 people. It is carry-in, carry-out. Which means you needs to bring everything you need for overnight winter camping with you up on the chairlift. You don’t want to overpack. Luckily firewood is provided. The heat comes from a wood burning stove.

The Stone Hut is one of the most unique ski-in, ski-out properties. Would you want to spend a night there?
