Our First Ritz-Carlton Booking On our 6 week Central Europe trip we stayed in 13 different hotels. The hotels ranged from small local boutique hotels in tiny Czech Republic towns to large chain hotels in the suburbs of major cities. Six of the hotels were booked as part of our […]
So Many Reasons To Visit Portugal I will start off by stating that we absolutely love Portugal. We spent 4 weeks in Portugal and loved every spot we visited around the country. We liked it so much that we planned a trip to return to Porto and a stay in […]
Planning An Afternoon Treat In Washington DC When we planned our visit to Washington DC over the Easter weekend, we reached out to some of the local travel bloggers we knew in the area. We knew that most would not be around over the holiday weekend. But Nicki had a […]
Not Everything Goes Into The Suitcase Packing has never been a strength of mine. I am getting infinitesimally better. But I do try not to pack consumable items that I can pick up at my destination, especially after looking for a vacation rental for us to stay, for example somewhere […]

Visiting The Dubai Mall We were in Dubai twice within a month. On both visits we went to the Dubai Mall. This is certainly one of the things to do in Dubai. I am sure you need to visit many times to see every Dubai Mall adventure. There was a […]
Settling Into Sandals La Toc David’s birthday was a great excuse to plan a luxury Caribbean getaway in January. We started our vacation with a cruise in the Southern Caribbean. We enjoyed lazing on the ship and great port adventures. Then we left the ship in St. Lucia for a […]
