The San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest are a magical place not only for their awesome beauty and painfully cute quaintness, but also for the pristine quiet energy they emanate. Until a couple of weeks ago, I had only been there in the Summer, when it stays light until 9:30pm-- read the blog I ...

Catching San Francisco on a perfect, crisp, SUNNY, Fall weekend is almost enough to get me packing my bags and moving for good!
