This easy ab workout can be done in your hotel room in front of the tv or out on the porch watching the sun rise or set. . This move targets your abs, but also--bonus--your shoulders and obliques. All you need to pack is a pair of shoes (check!) and a long, rubber exercise band. There are also three good exercises to keep your behind toned up for all those LBD's you'll be wearing out and around your exotic location. It might be hard to take along an exercise ball, I like leaving extra room in my suitcase, but squats and lunges can be done anywhere! Other good options: the never-fail run (if you're ambitious), or a long walk on the beach. Just don't go too slowly.
Glamour plus some healthy snacking tips. Let's be honest, eating healthy foods on vacation rarely happens. This list makes it easy, like putting healthy foods within eyesight so you are more likely to choose them, and eating more frequently throughout the day. I am always a fan of the afternoon energy snack and love anything that can be thrown into a Zip-Lock baggie and brought along in my bag.
What are your healthy vacation tips? Any snacks that have to come along or any exercises that you do no matter where you are? Here's to a happy, healthy vacation!
Cheers, Kate

Yesterday American Airlines announced a new program: the 
Working in a restaurant is neither a classy or fabulous job. But it pays the bills, and quickly. One thing we've been talking about lately is the fluctuation of the price of our bluefin crab cakes. The oil spill in the Gulf Coast has already had a negative impact on the region's fishing business, but as of yet there hasn't been too much impact on a global scale. According to the 
You will hear this backpacker immediately upon entering the hostel. Loud, enthusiastic and friendly, the American Backpacker either travels in large groups of young college girls or guys, or, if a little bit older, travels solo. The delightful college girl American Backpacker wears pajamas during the day and tight bright clothing at night, and is never without numerous layers of make up and hairspray, and the college boy American Backpacker has usually found their way to Central or South America on a cheap flight from Miami and are ready for a week of drinking and partying.
Can spot these a mile away due to the prevalence of Canadian flags sewn on to their backpack and the ‘ey’ at the end of every sentence (“Canada, ey”).
The English Backpacker travels in a massive group with other sun tanned/burnt/fake-tan orange English Backpackers. Friendly but often spends time whinging on a hostel balcony.
Friendly, adventurous and laid back, but can be annoyingly loud and is the centre of every party once drunk. Always the one that does the stupid dares.
Not to be confused with the English Backpacker, the Irish Backpacker is usually a little older and travels in pairs or by themselves. Like a homing pigeon, this gem of a backpacker always manages to find the best deals on a pint at any time of the day and is friendly and inclusive of all other travelers.
We walked along the walls, through lush trees, past fountains and water drains, and down to the Albaicín. This neighborhood is a traditionally Arab one, with more modern Jewish residents. Many of the houses here are over 400 years old. How cool would that be?
This past week has been Feria in Sevilla. This is a week-long spring festival that the city celebrates in full force. Families, clubs, and businesses set up 'cosettas' or tents with live music, food, drinks, dancing, and a party until dawn every night of the festival. Carol, her friend Lauren and I went to check it out on Friday.
