Following in the Footsteps of Stoker in Dublin

December 1, 2024 by Stefanie CaloiaLeave a Comment

When I stepped inside I couldn’t help … [Read more...]

November 15, 2024 by Joanne and Tony TravelsLeave a Comment

Murrieta Hot Springs, California,  Geothermal Resort Review I first discovered the benefits of thermal springs as a young bride living in Southern Germany.  My life there included visits to picturesque towns which evoked scenes right out of the “Sound of Music.”  But nothing quite surpassed the rejuvenation and relaxation I felt after a dip in one of the many thermal pools that dotted the Bavarian countryside.
