Guide to Cinque Terre

May 10, 2019 by Adrienne ClementLeave a Comment

The Cinque Terre is a collection of 5 colourful villages built in the Cliffside in the Italian Riviera.  I've had Cinque Terre on my bucket list ever since I saw an iconic photo of this part of Italy in National Geographic. When I was planning my trip to France and Italy in the Summer of 2017, I knew I wanted to check it out.  It was the perfect stop between Nice and Florence; it took about 5 hours to get to the Cinque Terre by train … [Read more...]

Local History and Spanish Cuisine Comes Alive at Hilton Boston Woburn

August 30, 2018 by Steve Mirsky1 Comment

Just 10 miles north of downtown Boston accessible by commuter rail, Hilton Boston Woburn overlooks marshland in a rather unassuming part of town just off exit 36 on I-95 surrounded by industrial/commercial space and apartment buildings. But the hotel's recent $16 million renovation elevated what was once a hum drum business class hotel into an entirely new realm featuring historic connections to the surrounding community accompanied by onsite … [Read more...]

Jerusalem, Israel – May 2018

May 1, 2018 by DaveLeave a Comment

A visit to Jerusalem is about religion, culture and several thousand years of history which is most obviously seen in the old walled part of the city. Tel Aviv is only about 45 minutes away with its seaside location, and makes a good entry point into Israel - yet the feel in Jerusalem is decidedly different despite being so close geographically. People come from around the world here - a number of them religious pilgrims, reverent at seeing what … [Read more...]

The island of Gozo is known for having some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean while offering a less crowded environment than the neighbouring island of Malta. The weather is temperate most of the year and the waters are usually calm and clear, so it's a perfect destination for swimming, snorkeling, watersports, photography, sunbathing, and sheer relaxation. Of course, being an island that’s literally surrounded by beaches makes choosing … [Read more...]

Time to exhale in the South of France

November 13, 2015 by Cecile Riphagen4 Comments

Provence triggers images of lavender, sun flowers and olive trees. Many have read the enjoyable novels written by Peter Mayle, visited anything Van Gogh in Arles and mused over the paintings of Cézanne. Everybody knows all areas of the Provence, or so they believe. There is a part of Provence less famous and therefore much less crowded than the Lubéron and the Midi. It is not a fancy area with famous wines or Michelin star restaurants but … [Read more...]

Collbató, Spain – a Town to Explore at your Own Pace

August 12, 2015 by Dave2 Comments

I find myself walking along the sun drenched walkways in the town of Collbató. A solitary horn echoes down the narrow alleyways. The pitch is not perfect and it is disjointed in sound. Perhaps it comes from a young student. Or maybe an older person wanting to explore a musical passion for the first time in their life. Irregardless of who is playing, I follow the sound and spend a few minutes listening under the second story window while … [Read more...]
