Another Whim - Oak Island, NC

We just returned from a fabulous week of vacation in NC. We stayed at this fabulous property in Oak Island, NC, "Another Whim" - Oak Island, NC

A great property on the beach!  ... and we saw the dolphins swim by too!

Disappointed In Tiger Woods

What a bummer! Another Tiger melt-down.

Great news, Tiger Woods Expected for PGA Championship.

I'm really excited about his return.  

I certainly follow him for the drama, Caddie Choice Serves as Window Into Woods’s Thinking. But mostly, I'd like to see him return to his competitive form.

Go Tiger!

I'm Thrilled About The Wine-Knows Travel Blog

I'm so excited to see our good friends at Wine-Knows Travel Inc. launch their blog, Wine-Knows: Fine Wine and Gourmet Food Journeys for the Discerning Traveler.

Sante' and Cin-Cin!

In case you're wondering, that's me (in the photo) during the 2008 Wine-Knows Travel tour from Bordeaux to Collioure.  (I'm all smiles!)

That Rascally Fox

Played golf today at Sharp Park Golf Course in Pacifica, CA.

This bold little fox stole the ball off the tee from Allan, someone in our playing group.

When it was my turn, I had to throw an orange ball off to the side to distract it.   Gotta love nature!

Google Quick Flight Search - I Love It

I love Google's new flight search feature.

Plan your next trip with the new flight schedule feature (an official Google blog post).

I use Google Search for most everything that I do. So it's only natural to hunt for flights via Google, and avoid the multiple clicks in travel websites.

Check it out!  Use Google Search and type things like:

• flights from san francisco to minneapolis
• flights from sfo to pdx
• flights from sfo

It's fun, cool, and useful.

The Best Tee Time According To Your Body

Image via Wikipedia

An interesting read, if you believe this New York Times article, Early Birds Less Likely to Catch the Birdies.

In summary, your body says the best time to play golf is 10 am or 4pm.

My personal experience jives with this.  I've generally struggled in very early morning play, and my hole-in-one happened between 5-8 pm, as mentioned in the article.
