The fishing village of Loreto on the Baja California Peninsula sits on miles of coastline with year-round sunshine averaging 80 degrees. Looking out on five islands on the Sea of Cortez, it offers majestic scenic backdrops along with a wealth of flora and fauna for hiking, trekking, bird watching, while its coast offers a wealth of water sports - island-hopping, snorkeling, kayaking or just plain relaxation on quiet beaches. The islands have formed a physical barrier that has...
Oxnard is a hidden gem close enough for an impromptu day trip, and certainly a relaxed weekend. Checking in at the Embassy Suites, I walked across the hotel's central court with its pool and water landscaping to my suite and was delighted to find that both the bedroom and the living room looked out on the beach with the ocean and the Channel Islands in the background.

I consider myself something of a yogurt expert. Present to me any supermarket shelf laden with a rainbow of yogurt cups made by various companies, each one boasting unique subtleties of texture, flavor, origin, or nutritional value, and in no time flat I will pick out the best brands based on my experience. Having bought enough yogurts to fill landfills with all those plastic cups, I was ready for something new and different. For a while now I've longed to be able to make my...
Since May 2013, the Quonset hut in Santa Monica has been transformed into a great organic burger restaurant. With the return of summer and strawberry season came the return of their very best Sweet Mona Burger to their menu- and we just had to check it out. The first thing you notice is the mouth watering aromas- well, the first thing that really hits you is that you're in an old war hut, but soon enough your stomach is growling and you're ready to tuck in. Pono Burger really...
