Just West of My Heart: Wyatt Earp's Lonely Desert Cottage in Vidal, California

josephine house

As a writer, artist and flutist, Johnna shares his passion for being creative. “It was obvious pretty quickly that we were really into each other,” he recalls. Food Network fans watched Duff create hundreds of over-the-top, hyperrealistic cakes at his Baltimore bakery Charm City Cakes for 10 seasons on Ace of Cakes. The baker and his team drew viewers in with their funny rapport and ingenious ideas about how to make an edible Jeep with working lights or the best way to transform a hunk of modeling chocolate into Betty White. Shulman’s photos show the house with reflecting pools and spider leg intact.

On Thursday, July 4th, Josephine House will be closedfor the holiday.

Despite the stunning vistas and storied provenance, however, when the house went on the market for $10.5 million in 2017, there wasn’t a buyer in sight. As the asking price continued to drop, the conservancy gave Naouri and Choi its blessing, and they bought the home as well as the hundreds of paintings in Robert Chuey’s estate last spring. “The size of the house was quite small for the price they were asking,” explains Los Angeles developer Philippe Naouri, who with partner Eric Choi bought the house two years later for the reduced price of $5.75 million. The modest 2,000-square-foot house “didn't match the price point” of the highly coveted 1.5 acres it sat on, Naouri says, tempting prospective buyers to raze the historic house and start fresh with a profitable 20,000-square-foot mansion.

Ho-hum empanadas, for instance, thrill again when they are filled with roasted onions and shishito peppers ($12). A croissant sandwich is a novelty when pastry is flaky and the meat inside it is thin-sliced smoked duck breast accented by tart cherry jam and cabbage slaw ($16). A BLT is elevated by grilled sourdough, roasted tomatoes, herbed pesto, and mustard greens.

Now there’s a reason for me to be making toys,” he says. He’s made her a set of blocks, a busy board and a fish-shaped clock, and he’s working on a chameleon marionette.

“I think if I wasn’t woodworking, if I wasn’t doing other creative things, playing music, I would probably miss it a lot more.” Plus, “there’s still a lot of baking in the house,” adds Duff, who shoots his cookbooks here. Duff credits his laid-back attitude to this house, where he and Johnna moved after their wedding — it’s surrounded by nature up a steep, unpaved road off a winding canyon highway — and all the hobbies he’s delved into here. He’s been making toys for their daughter Josephine, 2, and practicing the guitar for his band Foie Grock (a play on “foie gras” and “rock and roll”). Along with the house itself, the developers purchased the more than 200 paintings of Robert Chuey’s estate.

Just West of My Heart

The menu changes daily and generally features healthy foods that belong to the season; the summer menu, for instance, relies heavily on tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and melon, all brightened with fresh herbs and local cheese. Smoked Gulf snapper on a salad of minted watermelon and cucumber ($18) struck the perfect note for a 103-degree day. A puff-pastry savory tart with roasted tomatoes and eggplant ($12) evoked picnics and croquet on grass-covered lawns. Chef Jen Jackson, formerly of Lenoir and Swift's Attic, has taken a few classy old standards and injected new life into them using a modern farm-to-table sensibility.

Rather than tear down any walls, Campbell’s creative solution is to repurpose it as a dining room and build a larger one in the new addition. In 1956, when the still-untamed Hollywood Hills were an experimental architectural lab, the modernist Richard Neutra designed a house there for the painter-and-poet couple Robert Chuey and Josephine Ain Chuey. Built in the International style, the house featured Neutra’s signature emphasis on the Southern California landscape, namely glass walls that let in natural light and framed 360-degree views of the hills and sea. It gave the Chueys space for Robert’s studio practice and their social experiments in psychedelics.

An old-fashioned vibe encapsulated at Josephine House

Brunch at Josephine House feels a little like dining at a friend’s (very nice) house. And the best part is that it’s available all week. This is one of our favorite spots in Clarksville for healthy-ish dishes—like the rice bowl served with roasted and pickled vegetables, arugula, and a poached egg.

Mediterranean culture, the 20th century avant-garde style and the history of art are the foundation of its creative conception. Their work has been recognized by the domestic and international press and media. On their first date they talked for seven hours, and two weeks later they took a spontaneous trip to Hawaii together.

Two houses refurbished with rest and comfort in mind. Two perfect accommodations to enjoy the good and simple life with friends or family. With a capacity of people (La Rioja) and 4-5 (Segovia), both are rented as a complete house.

Located in the heart of Madrid, on Calle Santa Ana 15 in Madrid's Rastro neighborhood, this space unites the concepts of a showroom (with pieces of furniture for sale) and a décor studio. It is characterized by its selection and edition of objects and artistic pieces. The lights in the house suddenly flick on as the power finally returns, and Duff lets out a little “Yay! ” in the middle of describing his own light-bulb moments with his daughter.

The light-filled house had doubled as his studio. What's the fastest way to take a trip through time? Go to Josephine House for lunch, where everything is staged with Southern Living nostalgia in mind, right down to marble counters, whitewashed shiplap walls, and the seersucker-uniformed staff. Josephine House is the type of place where you can easily dither away the afternoon sipping iced teas and grazing on cool melon salads. A huge oak shades the patio while the low hum of oscillating fans lulls you into a lazy midsummer languor.

However, since it opened in February, Josephine House has taken on a life of its own. Lunches and late afternoon comestibles at Josephine House stand on their merit. Josephine House, set in a little blue cottage in the charming Clarksville neighborhood just west of downtown Austin, is available for full buyouts that includes both Indoor and outdoor seating on the wraparound patio. The Apartment, located above sister restaurant, Jeffrey’s, is ideal for  intimate daytime parties or meetings with all the Josephine House favorites.

An earlier interior view reveals how the artist arranged the home's light-filled studio space. Blackberry cobbler with homemade ice cream, peach upside-down cake with ginger ice cream and bourbon sauce, or blueberry tart with sweet corn ice cream ($8 each) are well-deserved after the strenuous exertions of a slow repast. Josephine House is the latest acquisition in the ever-expanding empire of the McGuire Moorman Hospitality Group, which has perfected the art of entertainment dining. Nestled up against the new Jeffrey's and serving only snacks and drinks during the evening hours, it seems like Josephine House's initial concept was as a stylish waiting area for the main attraction next door.

Our 4th cruise ship is Brilliant

virgin voyages cruise ships

Virgin ships are also seasonally deployed in Europe (via Transatlantic crossings), with planned visits to several major Mediterranean and UK ports (including Dover and Liverpool). In February 2020 was announced "The Band" - smart wearable technology to be introduced on Scarlet Lady (April 1). The device is made from recycled marine plastic (sustainability initiative) and developed via partnership with The Bionic Company. The lightweight device (RFID wristband) is mailed to all passengers and is complimentary (keepsake). Virgin cruise bookings on Scarlet Lady were opened on February 5, 2019 (for customers with pre-sale deposits) and on February 14 (for the general public). For February 6th was planned the learning campaign "Cabin Fever" on Scarlet Lady staterooms as they went on sale.

Virgin Voyages Awarded #1 Large Cruise Ship in Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2023.

Change the name on your voyage up to 48 hours before you head out if you can’t make it, or want to change whoever is sailing with you. We've taken care (of taking care) of your servers, so we cover the gratuities for your onboard experiences. Stay hydrated with still and sparkling water, non-pressed juices, sodas, teas and even drip coffee. From refined dining to relaxed casual, all of our 20+ eateries featuring menus curated by Michelin star chefs are yours to enjoy.

Scarlet Lady

Similar to Royal Caribbean's buffet, there were several stands with a wide range of offerings. But unlike Wonder of the Seas, the meals were made-to-order, making them taste fresher, in my opinion. While there was lots to do and see, getting around to specific venues and activities overwhelmed me and left me feeling like I'd prefer a smaller ship. I spent $2,000 on my seven-day Royal Caribbean Cruise, and my Virgin Voyages cruise cost $5,900 for a trip of the same duration. Next image shows one of the initial (train-like) Virgin ship designs.

Our cabins

The planes land at The Runway - a top-deck open space (Deck 17 aft) surrounded by a raised Jogging Track. In October 2016, "Virgin Cruises" was rebranded as "Virgin Voyages". At the time it was first announced, the company's founder Branson said his goal was to create a brand cruising experience that is more likely to appeal to millennials and other people who don't normally take cruise ship vacations. RockStars get the first access to book restaurants and experiences and are moved to the front of the line for any shows that do not require reservations. Considering the booking window opens 45 days before the sailing date, and that passengers in the know set their alarms to begin booking as soon as the app launches, this first access alone can be worth its weight.

The whole Virgin Voyages cruise ship felt like a sanctuary with tranquil pool decks, relaxing dining rooms, and more activities geared toward adults (more on that later). If you’re into exclusive access throughout the ship, RockStar Agents at your beck and call, marble clad bathrooms with premium amenities and spaces conceptualized by world renowned designer, Tom Dixon, then let’s talk suites. On April 1, 2020, the company launched its "Jet Transfers Direct to Ship" service. The exclusive "fly-cruise" deal is for RockStar Suite passengers only, allowing them to arrive and depart the boat via chartered or private aircraft.

virgin voyages cruise ships

Much like bellhops at hotels, we offer a baggage porter service that delivers your luggage from the port to the cruise cabin. "Everyone, everything was on point. No buffet is served on this cruise. The staff is friendly and professional. Nothing is too small or large for them to deliver. There's no other ship like virgin voyages. The food…". Fares start at $1,426 per cabin for a windowless Insider cabin on a four-night Fire & Sunset Soirees cruise to Key West and Bimini. The price is valid whether you have one or two travelers sharing the room, and does not include taxes and fees. You'll pay extra for the third or fourth person sharing your cabin.

Every cruise cabin has a flat-screen TV, so you can unwind and zone out after a busy day exploring a port and our onboard amenities. This isn’t one of those Airbnbs where you show up to find an empty bathroom, and need to make a last-minute run to a convenience store just to brush your teeth. Expect to find the basic toiletries in your cabin bathroom – including a hairdryer – which can be restocked at any time by room service. Like hotel rooms, you can choose between Queen or King size beds for sleeping comfortably, depending on whether you’re traveling solo or with a partner (and how cozy you feel like getting with that partner). You can also opt for two double beds, for those traveling with a friend.

Razzle Dazzle is a vegetarian-forward restaurant (with several, no-longer-secret meat entrees) open for brunch and dinner. At brunch, the spicy avocado toast gets high marks, and the cucumber-melon salad was a refreshing starter. Oddly, the restaurant had no jam for my British-style chocolate-chip scone and I had to make do with butter. I felt like I was eating out in a city, rather than at a hotel conference center, and that night-out vibe set the mood for the entire evening.

Virgin Voyages nominated for Travel & Leisure’s 2024 World’s Best Award and USA Today 10Best Awards.

With spaces that transform to your given mood, you can live like a rockstar or retreat to a quiet and luxurious oasis whenever you need a break away from all the action. From customized cruise packages and all-included luxury to epic rewards and delicious discounts, our programs are designed for any kind of wanderlust. If you choose to purchase "specialty liquors" in the ports you visit, you may bring these on board but they will also be held for you until the last night of the cruise. Make sure you adhere to customs regulations about how much alcohol you can bring back into the country from abroad. You may want to bring some cash to tip the porters who take your suitcases from the pier to the ship and any tour guides who lead your ship-sponsored or private excursion in port. Citizens will need to check requirements based on destinations visited.

In late-September 2020 were canceled all Scarlet Lady's November itineraries, and in late-October - the remaining (December 2020) departures. The brand's inauguration was rescheduled for 2021 (January 3, then for May 9). The ship's originally planned inauguration was for March 29th, 2020 (3-day "Sneak-A-Peek Cruise"). Virgin's Bimini Beach Club overlooks the sea and features a large lagoon-style swimming pool.

For example, a half-dozen oysters at The Wake are going to set you back an additional $20, but the steak and clam chowder are 100% included. They measure 185 to 225 square feet, including the 45-square-foot terrace. To sleep four, two people will need to share a bed, the third bed will be perpendicular in an L shape (so three heads in close proximity) and the fourth is a bunk flush with the cabin wall above. All Virgin Voyages cabins mix a hip yet minimalist design (think IKEA or micro hotel) with tech-forward accessories (such as an iPad that controls the A/C, curtains and mood lighting).

Our cabins represent over $1,000 in value, including over 20 onboard dining options, Wi-Fi, group fitness classes, free bookable karaoke rooms, shows and entertainment, and essential soft drinks and water. When you choose to apply (and are approved) for a new credit card through our site, we may receive compensation from our partners, and this may impact how or where these products appear. Please view our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information. Like booking a hotel room, when booking your cruise cabin of choice it’s essential to plan ahead.

From a balcony stateroom, marvel at the glaciers passing by before enjoying local seafood in one of our many eateries during your seven-day Alaska cruise. Situated on the Kenai Peninsula overlooking the Kenai River, the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge® is surrounded by mountains, rivers and wilderness inviting you to explore. Adventure through Chugach National Forest, cruise past Kenai Fjords National Parks’ glaciers or fish along the Kenai River.

What Wildlife Can I See In August?

Explore fjords, glaciers and Gold Rush-era towns on weekend voyages out of Seattle. Sail 500 miles deeper into the Gulf of Alaska and Prince William Sound on our top-rated Voyage of the Glaciers Alaska cruise. Enjoy two glacier-viewing experiences on every itinerary — including Glacier Bay National Park, and Hubbard Glacier or College Fjord. During the cruise season, popular cruise lines assist travelers in enjoying all of the unique sights, wildlife, excursions, events and food.

HOTELS

Many shops and cafes are open only from Memorial Day to Labor Day, giving shoulder season cruisers fewer options. Tourist attractions may be open longer hours or add additional tours during July and August when business is booming. And when you combine your seven-night sailing with Alaska CruiseTours, you’ll explore the best of the Last Frontier — on land and sea.

Looking to explore a world-class metropolis before your adventure in the wild? A northbound cruise to Alaska lets you start your journey in vibrant Vancouver. That's why Royal Caribbean over­nights in the best accommodations in the heart of every destination. These lodges and hotels allow for easy access both to the great outdoors and the communities where you can get a taste of local life.

Sail into the Last Frontier from Seward or Vancouver onboard Radiance of the Seas®. With over three acres of windows and glass exterior viewing elevators, you can watch for whales along Alaska’s Inside Passage when you aren’t wandering wilderness paths from Ketchikan to Juneau. And for the ultimate outdoor adventure, take a CruiseTour into Alaska’s interior where you can hang with huskies in Denali, and scale glaciers in Alyeska.

Convenient Alaska Cruise Departure Ports

Charter a helicopter or fixed-wing flightseeing tour at Juneau and get an unforgettable perspective of the mountains and glaciers of this vast landscape. In Alaska, ancient rivers of ice wind between mountains and grind out of valleys. Towering walls of ice like the Hubbard Glacier, Endicott Arm Dawes and the twin Sawyer Glaciers thunder as they calve massive icebergs.

Complete your adventure with the best Alaska tours before or after your cruise. A waterproof backpack with bug spray, bear spray, bottled water and snacks is practically a necessity in the State. Come prepared, and always check trail conditions with locals or tourist information centers first before setting out. Dress in layers of clothing so that you can peel off (or add on) slowly as the thermometer dictates.

Less travelers might sound appealing, but many port towns aren’t fully “tourist operational” until late June when summer workers start to arrive. On Winter Solstice (December 21 or 22), the state breaks out of its winter hibernation and begins gaining a few minutes of sunlight each day. By the time Summer Solstice occurs (June 20,21, or 22), travelers to Juneau, Alaska, a common port, will experience a day with 19 hours of sunlight.

Also, certain sections of the access road to Denali National Park may close in September due to snow, so check your itinerary if that's your preferred Northern Lights viewing spot. You're in luck if you're hoping to see whales on your Alaska cruise, as the majority of the cruise season coincides with whale season. Humpback whales can be found in the waters of the Gulf of Alaska and are some of the most frequently spotted, though you may also see orcas and gray whales as well. For a less testing but equally thrilling experience, you could join a whale-watching tour, or take a helicopter or floatplane flightseeing trip, soaring over forests and glaciers. Explore the cultures of the Native Alaskans, and learn about the Klondike Gold Rush. With spectacular wildlife and dozens of thrilling, kid-friendly activities, Alaska is perfect for families.

With riverside dining and frontier décor, the Fairbanks Lodge is the perfect excuse to extend your Alaska cruise vacation and dive deeper into your surroundings. Cruise down the Chena River on a sternwheeler riverboat, pan for gold at Gold Dredge 8 or ride ATVs through surrounding forests underneath the midnight sun. With glass-domed railcars, our exclusive Direct-to-the-Wilderness® rail service takes you into the heart of Alaska without juggling multiple tickets or confusing transfers. Enjoy convenience and comfort from ship to train and then directly to your Princess Wilderness Lodge in the Denali-area.

So too should travelers who have specific non-negotiables on things like stateroom category, ship, or itinerary. August is a great time to see Alaska if you need to travel when the kids are out of school. Cruise lines that package land tours provide a coach or glass-domed railcars to transport passengers inland. Since fewer people continue into the cruise tour, you’ll enjoy fewer crowds and a chance to see the towering Denali if it isn’t shielded by cloud cover. During a glacier viewing day, harbor seals often grace the icebergs near a glacier terminus.

“Resident” orcas (who stay near shore and feed on fish) are easy to spot and fun to watch from the cruise ship or on a whale-watching excursion. Arguably, the biggest draw is the marine animals, with opportunities to see pods of humpback whales, gray whales, orcas, sea lions, sea otters, and more. However, the views and ability to go sightseeing from your room on ocean days make the higher price worth it. The benefits of cruising in April include less expensive pricing, fewer tourists, and less crowded ports. Here is a breakdown of other important considerations for an April Alaskan cruise.

An elegant and spacious Alaska cruise ship with fresh floral arrangements and garden-inspired décor. Master frontier flavor with regional cooking demonstrations on board. Fluid lines, light-filled spaces and a blend of modern elegance and nautical tradition make Koningsdam a sublime ship for Alaska cruises. Choose from seven refreshingly uncrowded ships for a front-row seat to Alaska's splendor.

Brown bears are a cross between grizzly bears and polar bears, which you tell from their size. As rain increases this month, having waterproof shoes, a waterproof jacket, and a compact umbrella is advisable. A waterproof spray may do the trick if you want to avoid investing in new items. Since I live in a wet city, I wear Vessi runners everyday, as they are 100% waterproof. Expect it to be crowded in town, and the popular excursions could sell out months in advance.

Remove the hassle from air travel and give yourself the gift of flexibility, time and a thicker wallet with Princess EZair flights. We negotiate lower rates with the airlines, allow you to modify your flight up to 45 days prior with no penalty and protect you if your flight is late or canceled. From exploring historic gold mines to venturing in the footsteps of early explorers, learn about Alaska’s Inside Passage and discover the wonders awaiting you. From exploring Denali National Park to fishing for salmon in Anchorage, discover the top Alaska destinations on a Princess cruise. The Harriman Expedition discovered College Fjord in 1899 and named the towering glaciers after the great East Coast universities of the United States, like the Harvard Glacier. With the largest collection of tidewater glaciers in the world, your scenic Alaska cruise through the fjord will make a lasting memory.
