Hotel Swexan Review: The Perfect Solo Mom Vacation

Oct 10, 2024 | miamiherald.com | Keri Lumm

Sometimes, the best thing a mom can do for her family is to leave-temporarily. If you go somewhere with your family it is a trip, if you go alone (or with girlfriends) it's a vacation. Hotel Swexan in Dallas, Texas was just that for me. The perfect solo vacation. As I pulled up in my rental car, I was met by a valet and a red carpet. Starting my night away as a fake movie star was exactly what the doctor ordered.
Exploring the Beauty and Rich History of Panama City

Jun 6, 2024 | pastemagazine.com | Keri Lumm

My dad’s draft number was 9. When your draft number is 9 during the Vietnam War, you know you’re going to serve somewhere. Fortunately he was stationed in Panama, guarding the canal from any possible sabotage or disruption. He always spoke of the country with fond memories so when I had the chance to go, I jumped on it. I went expecting jungles and undeveloped land, and while that is a part of Panama, Panama City is a modern metropolis.
Aspen Felt Like Home

Apr 29, 2024 | pastemagazine.com | Keri Lumm

I was not quite sure what to expect when I went to Aspen, Colorado, for the first time, but I was pretty sure I’d return happy and refreshed. I’m glad to say that I totally called it. I stayed at the St. Regis, a Marriot Bonvoy property, and it was immaculate, as one would expect. Sculptures welcome you into the hotel and are a part of the courtyard where the heated pool and three hot tubs are located. The courtyard is also where the daily champagne sabrage takes place at 5 p.m..
Alberta, Canada: Frozen Landscapes and Warm Hearts

Feb 22, 2024 | pastemagazine.com | Keri Lumm

In the winter months, plenty of people head south for a break from the cold weather, but this Southern lady decided to head to the frozen north—namely Alberta, Canada. Unless you love to ski, I don’t know of many people who fly north to enjoy a cold snap on purpose, but now I think I will be taking a winter break every year.
You Will Feel Like a Royal At This Hotel in Madrid

Dec 29, 2023 | pastemagazine.com | Keri Lumm

I’ve always been in love with the romantic eras, probably because I’ve always devoured books like Bridgerton and can’t stop watching The Gilded Age. Nevermind the fact that I would obviously be one of the servants…in my mind, I’m fancy, living the lifestyle of the rich and famous a hundred years ago. I like the idea of everyday glamor, evening dresses every day, hats and gloves. So when I get to stay in a mansion, it is a dream come true.
Awe-Inspiring Alaska: Don't Wait Until Retirement to Head North

Sep 12, 2023 | pastemagazine.com | Keri Lumm

Alaska is a destination that is often put on the bucket list for retirement. I would argue that you should move Alaska up on your list—and then go back for a cruise when you are at retirement age. I was invited to explore Alaska by the Pursuit Collection and I knew in my mind that Alaska was big, but everything there is massive. It’s like standing by the ocean: you can see part of it stretching out in front of you, beyond where you can see, and feel awed by its size.
You're Never Too Old to Party in Ibiza

Aug 8, 2023 | pastemagazine.com | Keri Lumm

Since I travel quite often, I get asked “Where is the best place you’ve ever been?” For years, I’ve given the same unflinching answer: “Italy.” However, now that I’ve been to Spain, I hesitate; I can honestly say that I liked it just as much, especially Ibiza. My trip was to the Catalonia region of Spain, which is near France and is on the Mediterranean Sea. This region is a part of Spain, but also has a distinct culture and its own language, Catalan.
