- My Top 2 Picks in Mexico
Posted on September 28, 2010 by Glynna Prentice
Some of my favorite cities in Mexico are what I call “two-for-one” bargains: mountain cities with temperate climates that are also close to the beach.

- A Plea From Mexico
Posted on by Glynna Prentice
I’m getting the travel itch to visit the Colonial Highlands. I know, I know…I already live in a lovely colonial city right on Mexico’s Gulf Coast. And believe me, I know how lucky I am. But Mexico’s recent bicentennial put the spotlight on the Highlands, since it’s the “cradle of independence.”

- 8 Reasons to Visit Portugal (That Have Nothing to With Beaches or Golf)
Posted on October 16, 2009 by International Living
