I was recently in Scottsdale for a quick two week work assignment which meant I was in a city without a car. With the rise of Uber and Lyft and all the other awesome share ride options out there, I find that I am not as worried about how to get around once I am…

A few thoughts about my recent hotel stays
I love staying at various hotels since that is the industry I work in. On this trip I stayed at quite a few different hotels that all had a little something special to offer. Planet Hollywood Las Vegas is one of a million hotels on the Las Vegas strip. This hotel is in a prime location…
Lollapalooza 2013
Every once in a while my travels take me somewhere I have already been. I am a fan of trying not to repeat going to places because there is so much to see, but going to Chicago and going to Lollapalooza break all my rules! Lolla is a August 2-4 this year and in gorgeous…
The Perfect Wine Bar…and it’s in Long Beach.
As you know, I love to find my awesome local places when I travel. When I found myself in Long Beach for a month long work assignment, I didn’t think I would have anything to write about. Turns out, that is not the case. District Wine Bar is an amazing find for anyone who finds they…
Oregon Brewers Festival
Not all of my travel is me gallivanting around the world even as much as I would like it to be. Next up I have a three week blitz hitting up home, Portland, Vegas and Chicago. If you are asking yourself “what is taking Jenna to Portland?” the answer is the 2013 Oregon Brewers Festival….

A trip to the other wine country…Portland.
One of my very good friends from college decided to throw herself a 29 1/2 birthday party or early 30’s party or farewell to her 20’s party depending on how you want to look at it. Needless to say it was a reason for a trip to Portland for some great wine tasting. First stop…
Palm Springs for a night or whatever
All travel does not require a long plane flight or fancy dinner. Me and a good friend of mine went to Palm Springs for an overnight and spent 2 days and 1 night in the sun enjoying good company and good food without spending a lot of money. We brought our own wine and cheese…
Mission accomplished: A Vegas recap
I went to Vegas to get a tan and did not step foot in a single club. Mission accomplished! I spent 5 beautiful days in Vegas with good friends and managed to avoid the clubs and the “scene” that is so much of Vegas. Monday, July 2, 2012: I woke up a little early and decided…
