“Getting to Know Sue Clifton, Dooney & Bourke”: A...

My Vacation Week in the Sun!

by on

The temp at my place in Pennsylvania was 11 degrees the morning I left for my vacation on the island of Vieques. If you are not familiar with Vieques, it’s a tiny island (8 square miles!) right off the coast of San Juan, PR. A rustic, tropic paradise with stunning beaches and wild horses that roam free over the island!

This was our 4^th trip there in as many years and I can’t remember when I looked forward to a vacation more! 7 days in perfect sunny weather. 4 tee shirts. 3 pairs of shorts. 1 pair of Birkenstocks. 1 bathing suit. Let’s go:

{I was greeted every morning with this amazing view from the house we rented!}

{I pretty much never moved from this spot...except to go to lunch!!}

{Fabulous local food and drink! And yes, that was a two beer lunch!!}

{Our house sat way up in the hills, not far from the rain forest that the island is famous for.}

{I had a visitor in the outdoor shower who loved my brand of shampoo!!}

{The best fish taco ever. It was cooked right by the water where it was caught! Doesn’t get any fresher than that! I plan on sharing this recipe with David Venable!!}

{Don’t worry; breakfast was a super healthy local fruit and yogurt every day. Right after a morning run through the hills...and past the wild horses!!}

{A herd of about 16 steer lived right up the hill over our house. MOOOOOOOOooooo. All day (and sometimes night!) long!}

{But the best part of my entire vacation was coming home to this cutie back in NYC}

By the way - I met two lovely QVC ladies from Atlanta in the airport in San Juan who were kind enough to come up to me and say hello. And both looking fantastic - wearing Joan Rivers earrings!! I was thrilled.

Sneak peak just for you:

If you haven’t experienced one of Joan’s famous caftans, there isn’t a better time than now. Perfect for glamorous entertaining at home and just right by the pool or on a cruise. Joan adored them for anytime she wanted to be comfortable and still look chic as can be!
