…ma Cotton Everyday Tee The Pima Cotton Everyday Tee was the first thing I knew I wanted from the TravelSmith website. I pretty much always wear tee shirts and I love V-necks in just about any color but black and white are without question my staples-just check some of my photos on my site or social media! The Pima Cotton Everyday Tee is a little different because it has long-staple cotton fibers that make it exceptionally soft and light. Plus, a t…

…aftermath of the match, let me get to the match itself. The beautiful, and newly redone Stade Velodrome was a great setting for a big time soccer match.

…t. Thomas. There are several direct flights from all over the US including New York. I am not a fan of St. Thomas at all so I recommend heading straight for St. John.

…forts that are only there for decoration-literally. It’s a nice place but new Muscat is tops for me. As you drive out to the very spread out new city, you notice it feels like a suburb in Southern California. The houses are gorgeous as you approach the beach.

…n walk on the boardwalk. It’s not a boardwalk like you might be used to in New Jersey, Delaware or Maryland. It’s a nice boardwalk without trashy tourist shops where you can stroll along the bay and get some great views. It kind of reminded me of the High Line in New York a bit in that you don’t think it’s going to be cool but it really is cool! As if I didn’t have enough food at Duck Donuts it was time to have some lunch with a view at the Sander…

It will catch on but for now it’s our little secret! It’s truly spectacular and I cannot wait to play it again!
