Few parties for someone turning 15 would ever be on our radar. But, when we’re taking about the 15th Gay Wine Weekend, that’s cause for celebration. We missed last year’s, but this iconic Sonoma County event each summer remains one of our favorite queer weekends ever. This year’s event uncorks from July 17-19 and returns to the Sonoma Valley, site […]
Your next big gay vacation only requires a single Benjamin to be surrounded by hundreds of Johns, Chads and Sebastians. That’s right. For a mere $100 deposit, you’ll soon be on your way to Sweatymanville with a layover in Speedotown. This June 4-8, One Magical Weekend (OMW) returns to Florida as “Orlando’s Juiciest Event” and we’re pretty sure they’re not […]
As we write this, we are onboard our flight about to take off from LaGuardia back to Dallas. Facing the sad reality that our annual winter trip to Manhattan has come to a close, we are feeling reflective. And delightfully sober for once thanks to our continuing Dry January stint. We started our early winter NYC vacation tradition back in […]
It’s so hard to believe we’re rapidly approaching the end of 2025. So, naturally, we’re already thinking about the next place we’re headed in 2026. In case you’re also looking for inspiration, here are a few of our favorite LGBTQ-friendly travel destinations, products and resources from the past year that we wholeheartedly recommend. Whether you want to stay close to […]
Invite us on a beach vacation and we will always say, “YES!” Go ahead, try it right now. (We always keep a carryon bag ready and we’ve been known to be quite impulsive.) So, naturally, when the Hilton All-Inclusive Resort Cancún Mar Caribe invited us down for a few days of R&R&R (rest, relaxation and ’ritas), we said, “Sí!” Traveling […]
Whenever we have a little time off and can’t decide on a destination, we almost always book a trip to New Orleans, Austin or San Antonio. If we have enough time, however, it’s usually ultra-queer-friendly Puerto Vallarta and its surrounding magical towns that top our list for last-minute getaways (or planned-in-advance) a few times a year. These are the go-to […]
This week, Galveston welcomes a new cruise line to its port. After sailing from Miami to Caribbean destinations for the past few years, MSC Seascape officially moves to its new Texas home this week. This gives you more choices than ever for a cruise holiday that’s only a short flight or short-enough drive away. We had the privilege of sailing […]
Come for the Red Light District, Van Gogh masterpieces and coffee-shop marijuana, stay for WorldPride 2026 – Unity. Or vice versa. Whatever your motivation for heading to Amsterdam in 2026 next summer, there’s never been a better time to visit. The gorgeous, LGBTQ-friendly city known for its canals, 17th century architecture and delightfully liberal vibe hosts WorldPride for the first […]
Walk outside in Dallas right now and you’ll smell the strong aromas of corny dogs and cotton candy from the State Fair of Texas, even miles away. While that’s only a slight exaggeration, we simply love traveling to Colorado for the freshest pine-scented air we’ve ever breathed. As autumn settles in for a couple of weeks with auburn colored leaves […]
Of all the hotel brands with a number in their name, we love Four Seasons best of all. Truthfully, we’d rather not travel at all than stay in a Motel 6 or Super 8. But that’s our first-world problems revealing a couple of many travel biases. It’s simply that Four Seasons does things so well, we have become so spoiled […]
