Day 4: Dinner at the Grand Hotel’s Bristol Resort, which is celebrating 120 years with the same family in June.
Dinner was a true gourmet experience. It was very creative, unusual, and delighted my tastebuds.

Michelin Star quality dining, for sure!! What a privilege.

Andrea Cannalire is the new Executive Chef of the entire food offering of the Grand Hotel Bristol Portofino Coast: Le Cupole, La Veranda, the Flamingo Pool Bar&Pizzeria and the restaurant of the new Marina di Bardi Beach Club.

Cannalire has had numerous experiences in starred restaurants, including the Magnolia restaurant in Cesenatico, Fabio Baldassarre's Unico restaurant in Milan, and Pont de Ferr, also in the Lombardy capital. In December 2015 he won the Michelin star, awarded to him for the work done just eleven months after his arrival at Cielo, the restaurant of the La Sommità hotel in Ostuni, where he worked until February 2023.

At his side, since 2024 the pastry chef Ilaria Castellaneta, originally from Salerno and raised in Lucania, has been in charge of the pastry shop at the Le Cupole restaurant of the Grand Hotel Bristol.

The servers for the evening, Sydney, Enrica, and Lorenzo, were awesome! True professionals who offered stellar service. Lorenzo was great at describing each dish.

For anyone planning a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, I highly recommend taking the tour. It is a hop on hop off type shuttle with narration and stops along the way. It highlights a few graves and each tour guide offers their own extras. It is very informative.

With attending university, I have had to limit my traveling. The last few days I have been attending the Select Group Travel Conference in Buffalo, New York. It has been a great opportunity to network with potential destinations and travel suppliers.
Beside the conference, we had orange chocolate, lots of wings, pizza, and celebrated St. Patty’s Day.

This restaurant has been my Texas family’s favorite for years. Located outside San Antonio, it has grown from a small starter restaurant into the beautiful, spacious area it is today. Complete with indoor and outdoor dining areas, it offers an authentic food experience. The staff are super friendly and the food and drinks are excellent. It was a great place to celebrate my birthday!

Heading to the Airport in Austin or San Antonio? Las Palapas is a local Mexican food chain and they have a great breakfast offering of a variety of breakfast tacos. If you need that last minute stop at Buc-ee’s, they have a good selection of breakfast sandwiches and tacos. The brisket breakfast tacos are my fav! You can see the gal slicing the brisket in the background.

First time and it was so fun! It felt weird as they nibbled and swam between our toes. What a cool experience! Would you try this?
