Sofitel Resort and Spa, Denarau Island, Fiji

The last time we spent a week on a tropical island was in Micronesia 8 years ago. Hard to believe, Rachel and I just aren’t the “relaxing vacation” type. But when it came to taking our “Babymoon” during the end of Rachel’s second trimester, the beach was calling, and it landed us on Fiji. A […]

Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, NV USA

Mocked by my family around me, the Grilled Shrimp Club allured me from the menu as we dined outside at the Golf Club […]
