A Layover Trip to Athens

February 1, 2019 by Steve Long5 Comments

It’s not everyday that I get to feel like I’m living in history, but that’s exactly how I felt looking at the rolling hills of Athens from the top of the Acropolis, images from 300 flashing in and out of my head (I know I know 300 is Sparta not Athens). I was on my way to Iceland from Singapore after attending a trade show on the island nation. There were no direct flights available; what’s more, there wasn’t even a simple connecting … [Read more...]

From Los Angeles to Bogota – a Day Trip

January 19, 2019 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

Yup, you read the headline right. I made a day trip to Bogota, Colombia from Los Angeles, USA. I'm probably not the first one to do it, but I bet not many people have done it before. So how'd it happen? Mostly through my opportunism: I managed to squeeze in a stop in Bogota while on my way to Santiago, Chile. It wasn't really on my original plans but I had a choice of two flights - one with a 4-hour layover in Lima, Peru and one with a 16-hour … [Read more...]

Magical Mo’orea – a Stay at the Hilton Mo’orea Lagoon Resort & Spa

January 6, 2019 by Dave8 Comments

Words that come to mind when referring to the island of Mo'orea include ethereal, mysterious, remote, undeveloped and exotic. I've long built up the mystique of this island in my mind based upon stories my mother related from a several month trip she took to the South Pacific in the 1960s. Mo'orea was by far her favorite island in the French Polynesia. While Mo'orea has certainly changed since those days, a visit to the island is like walking … [Read more...]

Just two blocks from the White House and within walking distance to everything the nation's capitol has to offer, it's easy to see why The Willard InterContinental in Washington DC is known as the "Residence of Presidents" and has remained an anchor in a town that's undergone countless transformations over the hotel's 200 year existence.
