Doozo Art Books and Sushi by Rochelle Carr

Fri, 2 Oct 2009 09:12:10 -0700

My girlfriend and I are both artists. We originally intended on heading to another restaurant two doors down, yet ended up here. We were seated in a delightful garden courtyard in the back of the gallery with trees, darling tables and ancient walls. The staff are delightful and the wine and sushi is wonderful. It is not for the budget minded, yet we were not looking for that. I was so surprised to find Sushi in Roma! What a secret treasure in the center of town! Do not miss the artifacts and wall of art books to enjoy along the way to your seat. A must see if you are getting tired of Italian food and need something different and artsy. The problem for me is that I am Italian/American and never tire of Italian food......this gem of a find was just an accident! Enjoy!

Travel Tips by Rochelle Carr

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:22:16 -0700

1. Flight attendant once told me that if you put a dab of Neosporin inside each nostril, you will not get sick from all the coughing, sneezing, and cold germs going on in the recirculated air on a plane.

1. Take trail mix, protein bars, and lots of water on your airplane or road trips (I make my own trail mix with cashews, dried cherries, pistachio nuts, almonds, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds). The food on planes are not that grand any longer(now you have to pay for box lunches), and if you are stuck on the tarmac, it helps to have sustenance and hydration.

1. Long layovers with no sleeping arrangements make for an exhausting trip. Take Emergen-C packets four times a day in 4-6 oz. water and it replaces lost vitamins, hydrates and provides depleted electrolytes.

1. Take direct dial, NON 1-800 numbers to your credit and ATM cards if traveling abroad from the US. Also remember to notify your credit cards and ATM cards before travel abroad so they do not shut your cards off in a security alert.

1. Always leave copies of your passport with a loved one or in a file at home that someone can reach in case of an emergency.

1. Remember to buy yourself a memory foam pillow and roll up fleece blanket for long trips. The airlines doesn’t supply them any longer unless you hold priority status.

1. Send yourself a package to your destination of large shampoo, favorite snacks, art supplies, toys and music if heading out of the country for two weeks or longer. Airlines now charge for overweight and extra bags.

1. Take thick furry soft socks on long trips in the sky. Take your shoes off, relax and let your piggies rest.

1. Keep a scrap book or save business cards of all your favorite hot spots and restaurants....it will come in handy on future trips back to the same destination.

1. Buy a Euro cell phone (@ $40.00) and get a pay in advance phone card it is a much better deal than the International calling plans in the US. Remember to turn off your roaming and wireless on your US phones when abroad you will get charged big bucks if it checks for your data.

1. Leave copies of your travel plans/flights with family....you just never know.
