Editor’s Notes

Ahhh Sprintime- time for regrowth, rebirth and rejuvenation. Something magical happens in Spring. The days start getting filled with more light, the birds are a little bit more chirpy (is that a word?) and the flowers start to bloom. Yes- there’s nothing but new life all around us as we come out of Winter. Spring / Autumn falls on Monday March 20th. Speaking of longer light-filled days, Daylight Savings Time (DST) is on Sunday March 12th at 2am. We usually spring our clocks forward and the appliances when we go to bed Saturday night. Our digital devices will change automatically (do that in settings) but it’s easy to forget DST and it can throw off your whole entire next day. If we forget to set everything an hour ahead (spring forward in the Spring, fall back in the Fall) before going to bed, then when we rise- it could be quite interesting. The analog clocks, the appliances and especially the coffee machine (that is pre-set to come on automatically) with the prior time are all out of whack. But not before you start to think- how did I miss that match on Tennis Channel; why is our son calling us so early and why has the coffee machine shut off already? Then you realize you forgot about DST. Do not let that happen to you. jajajajaja!

This 2-month issue is packed with lots of travel tips, food recipes and links. We return to LIVE AQUA Punta Cana for a quick romantic getaway- see the pictures and videos. Also, check out our feature with Moises Figueroa (@da_chef_god on TikTok) as he talks about his journey with food. He’s quite a guy and a heck of a cook! I predict nothing but good things for him.
