Celebrate Summer

JULY 2016

S

ummer is in full swing. Signs that Summer is here again - you’ve had your fill of fair food, concerts for all music lovers and, of course, opening day is around the corner at the track. Summer as a kid seemed endless, didn’t it? Each day held promise of endless adventures with friends, exploring and creating with your imagination. Today, it still holds that promise - the opportunity for travel to a destination that has become a favorite or the chance to go somewhere or see something new. Enjoy this month as we explore our town and destinations nearby, taking a journey with you to celebrate Summer.

This month, we explore a destination that is so close yet a world away with our feature at The Fairmont Grand Del Mar, we show you the highlights from some amazing events doing wonderful good for our community including the Broadway Nights Gala to benefit Rady's Children’s Hospital this Spring, also at The Grand Del Mar, The Spark Gala as well as the gala to benefit a gem in the arts in our backyard - The North Coast Repertory Theatre. We share some great pictures from Marshall Faulk’s Celebrity Championship event at Morgan Run. We also take you on an exploration of the wine region to the North that has been a favorite day trip or weekend for many. Don’t miss our beach bag essentials. We know you probably already have your favorites but there’s always room for more!

Working While You Travel

ARTICLE HARVEY NEIMAN | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

S

ummer travel means summer vacation, at least to most people.

But, for some, it can mean a combination of vacation and work.

Back in the 90s and early 2000s, with broad expansion of the Internet, mobile phones, and laptop computers, more and more of the deskbound workforce were given the green light to work from home. People opened up small businesses from home, or satisfied their employers’ requirements working from home. Single parents who couldn’t afford, or just didn’t want, five-days a week babysitting for their children, found they could multi-task successfully working from home, while keeping an eye on the family.

Now, I feel we can apply that same concept to our summer travels.

Being on vacation should mean that one gets a change of scenery from our everyday lives. That’s what summer travel is about. It means taking the family, or just someone significant, to a new place one has never been, or wants to visit again. They want “R and R” to recharge the batteries.

Nowadays, as long as there is access to the Internet and mobile phone service, there is no reason that workaholics can’t combine work, travel, and pleasure in today’s fast paced digital world.

Here’s an example of how this works. In fact, it’s exactly what I’ve got planned for myself this summer. In my case, being a widower, I’m traveling alone. I have arranged, through the alumni association of the college I attended, to take a 2-week cruise on the rivers of Europe that goes from Budapest, Hungary, to Amsterdam, Holland.

16

Del Mar Lifestyle | July 2016

I’m adding a week in Paris before the cruise, and a week in the south of England after the cruise. I’ll be traveling for a month.

I’m of retirement age, but still active in business with family.

I don’t want to ignore for a month the work I love to do. I’m an author, working on my next book, and I’m chief investment officer of our mutual fund company. I need to make stock market decisions on a regular basis.

I have made sure that the riverboat and all the hotels where I’m staying have good Internet access. My new Surface tablet with a keyboard, and my iPhone with facetime, will keep me connected to all the same instant research needs and communication that I have in my office back home. The only difference is that I’ll be budgeting my time between doing my work for a few hours each day, and seeing the sights of the exciting places I’ll be visiting. I guess I’ll have to coordinate time zone differences as well. What fun!

Maybe working while traveling is not for everyone. But, for me, it removes all the guilt of getting away, because I’m not leaving my obligations behind. I can even keep up with paying bills while abroad, now that there are online bill paying services. I can keep up with what I need to do, while getting the change of pace that vacation travel has to offer.

If you haven’t thought about working while traveling, why not give it a try?

Del Mar Lifestyle | July 2016

D

el Mar is considered an enviable paradise by other parts of the country, with world-class amenities, activities, gorgeous skylines, sunsets and mountain views, so we set out to

find some of the exotic within our community. This led us to the exquisite Fairmont Grand Del Mar which is a world away even though it is tucked into our backyard.

We spent the day exploring the grounds and playing dress up with clothing from Flower Hill Promenade boutiques Fairen Del, Pink Soul and Annmarie D’Ercole. We sunned by the pool in beachwear by designer PilyQ and we were spoiled by the very talented stylists and artists at re:vive Salon and Spa: Hair by Janna Mauceri, Taylor Ramirez and Make-Up by Brooke Spiering Hubbard.

So come away with us as we wander through hallways reminiscent of French salons, terraces invoking Moroccan sunsets, elegant Italian garden vistas and pools and hidden Spanish courtyards. Pack your bag, even if it is just for the night and bring your favorite person along, just leave your cares behind.
