Favorite tools and objects I've selected with care and use with pleasure. |
| Leica D-Lux 5
4 stars for this digital Leica. Did lots of research. Made in Japan, not the German made $6000 version. I am LOVING this recent upgrade to my travel camera. Loving it so much, that it has become my #1 camera for this website. Loving the quality of the photos, the ease in use, and most recently the video aspect. Watch for more video clips coming up on this site and on Facebook. | | Baggalini Rolling Tote
In the never ending search for the idea travel gear, I've been looking for the perfect rolling bag that meets today's carry on standards, and this one is just perfect. It is well made AND light weight, has sturdy wheels and a practical configuration of compartments. My computer slides in and out easily. The handle clicks in and out quickly, and even when packed, it is light and easy to roll or carry up stairs. It fits into the overhead compartment in small planes and is small enough to put under the seat in front and still have leg/foot room. This line of bags is designed by former flight attendants, so everything is thought out and it comes in GREAT colors. Not expensive either. I love it for weekend and overnight trips too. | | Eagle Creek
Perfect combo: The Baggalini tote for carry-on, and the Eagle Creek Tarmac 25" to check (great quality, strong wheels and weighs only 10#), packed using the Eagle Creek packing units. Keeps it simple and organized. I pack/re-pack as I go.
For a slightly larger carry-on, but still within international carry-on regulations, I recommend the Tarmac 20".
I just can't say enough good things about Eagle Creek Luggage, especially the Tarmac line. GREAT quality, strong AND light, excellent wheels, the pieces hook together and they are good looking too. | | Bose Companion Speakers
I listen to music, books on tape and streaming radio as well as watching movies in my studio, and these little speakers are absolutely fabulous. Not too expensive (only $99.) and the sound is excellent. 4 stars, 2 thumbs up, I love these so much, I want another pair for my kitchen too! | | |

| Fiction and Non-Fiction
Good writing makes good reading. I always have a novel or two or more going, occasionally selected non-fiction. Here are some of my favorites---please pass on yours to me. |

| Paris
I have a passion for Paris! Reading about the City of Light is a reminder of this place I love, and a pleasure to imagine where to go and what to do on my next journey. |

| Food
I love to cook. Love to read cookbooks. One of my secret pleasures is reading about food and I search out good writing in books, magazines and blogs. Spent my 20's experimenting with Julia Child, and the experiments continue to this day. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy! | | |
