From familiar streets and fresh Polish bread to pierogi, new friendships and candlelit Chopin concerts, the journey becomes more than a nostalgic homecoming—it’s a chance to share a beloved part of himself with his family.
Beyond Atlanta, I hadn’t explored much of Georgia. On a recent trip, I traveled to Columbus for a couple of days and brought my husband along. We flew into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport from Las Vegas and made the roughly 90-minute drive south. Once we left the city behind, I-85 to I-185 opened into long stretches of greenery.
Traveling more was something I added to my bucket list for 2025, and getting married was on there too; both came true. When my husband, then fiancé, set our wedding date, the first thing we started dreaming about was where we'd go for our honeymoon. We tossed around ideas — Disneyland for childlike wonder, New York for its city lights and Cancun for its beaches — but Naples, Florida, quietly stole our hearts.

Having visited Switzerland many times, we find the winter months magically magnetic, drawing thousands to some of the world's best ski regions. As we settled into our comfortable first-class train seats, we passed snow-covered, chalet-lined villages straight out of a storybook—our destination: Crans-Montana, Switzerland.

They served delicious Filipino food, from sinigang na baboy and pork adobo to arroz caldo and tapsilog.

Maui is our home away from home … at least for a couple of weeks each year. One side of Maui reminds me of our own home in the desert as you drive down the highway and look to one side and see nothing but red rocks and dry landscaping and then look to the other side of the road and see that gorgeous emerald, blue ocean welcoming us back to the island.
