After a two-year battle with cancer, my friend Chris Rubin died a week ago today. Chris was my mentor in the business of travel writing--he could be counted on to share resources and information, edged with a dry wit and remarkable sense of professionalism. We shared many a dinner together and visited sites from Monterey to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. He had a true appreciation and great knowledge of wine, spirits, music and the finer things in life. On a trip to Las Vegas (above) we toured the Strip in a Mercedes-Benz Maybach--sweet! My condolences go out to his wife Deborah Calla, his family and his many friends.
