Winchester Hospital, Winchester, MA USA

9 months of patiently waiting. They were filled with excitement, anxiety, numerous nights of ensuring there were no monsters under our 2 year old’s bed, navigating – and getting – sick from our 2 year old who loved bringing germs home from daycare, and of course, constantly needing to concern ourselves with covid. Needless to […]

Marty’s Fine Wines, Newton, MA USA

With so many hotels and resorts to choose from around Fiji, it was a difficult – yet extremely fun – task in finding and selecting VOMO. We didn’t really know what we were in for, but the photos almost undersold the […]
