    Views from the Window Seat: Santa Fe Flight

    /

    Did you know that Santa Fe is at the highest altitude of any state capitol? Many people think it’s Denver, but Santa Fe is even higher up. I believe it. The mountains aren’t the only thing that leaves me breathless. Flying in to Santa Fe is always beautiful, if bittersweet this time. The occasion brought me and my extended family together to celebrate my grandmother, well, step-grandmother’s life. For this flight I flew in from on American Airlines. Similarly to United, American charges a small fee for checked baggage unless you are one of their elite fliers. I’m just a regular middle-class American, so baggage fees it is this year!…

    View from the Window Seat: New York Flights

    /

    Bon Voyage! I recently flew to New York for an affiliate marketing conference. Since my best friend from college Deena lives there, I headed up a few days ahead of the conference to catch up and spend time in Manhattan together. As always, when I travel I like to share a few flight tips like I recently did for my Costa Rica flight. OMW New York: New York Flights What’s the best way to travel to New York? Fly in to LaGuardia or Newark – they’re pretty much the same distance from the city. The airport in Newark is a little nicer than LaGuardia and has more places to eat…

    OMW: Costa Rica Flight

    /

    It’s been a little quiet on the blog this week – I’m in Costa Rica! What a dream. I’ve been surfing every day and exploring the town in Tamarindo, so there’s plenty to share when I’m back in the states and make the time for it. We took a direct Costa Rica flight into Liberia last Friday, and then drove to Witch’s Rock Surf Camp. Southwest Airlines added flights to Costa Rica from Houston not too long ago, so it was only a few hours to travel. It’s faster and more affordable for us to fly here than to California. Can you believe it? Plus, the water is warmer and we…

    The Goldfinch Book Review

    March 11, 2016

Hello!

Artist and writer in Houston, painting my way through a slower kind of life. Likely By Sea is where the studio spills into everything else — watercolor and process, slow craft, whole-food cooking, coastal days, and the small style-and-living notes in between. Trained as a fine artist; the rest just follows the same eye.
