Top #epicOZ experiences

June 4, 2014 by Dave2 Comments

Australia is a country that begs to be explored - not quickly but slowly over a number of months. In the absence of such time, shorter trips are fine but focusing on a specific part of the country rather than trying to see to much. The distances are great and the experiences diverse. So to is the culture, the weather and the natural landscape. After a number of trips to the country I've spent some time coming up with some of my most epic … [Read more...]

5 Honolulu Highlights

March 13, 2014 by Catherine Sweeney1 Comment

"Duke Kahanamoku Beach at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Honolulu"

After several visits to Kauai, Maui, Molokai and the Big Island of Hawaii, I finally had a chance to visit Oahu, the most populated of the Hawaiian Islands and home to the state capital of Honolulu. My travel opportunity came with an invitation to Honolulu to attend the launch of the new Hawaiian Airlines World Elite MasterCard issued by Barclaycard. Although primarily a business trip, I got a wonderful taste of what Honolulu has to offer leisure … [Read more...]

An Exceptional Day Regardless of the Rain

February 4, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

I'm not one to enjoy rain - really, ever. Today was an exception. Joe, our driver for the day from Wayoutback Safaris pulled up nice and early at 630am, making the rounds of hotels and hostels in downtown Darwin. We were off for a day of swimming - heavy rain was not going to stop us. Our destination was Litchfield National Park located in the bush about a 90 minutes drive south of Darwin. Our first stop was the impressive Florence Falls for … [Read more...]

Street Angel

April 30, 2013 by Helena1 Comment

Sighing with tired relief, we plopped our suitcases into the dusty, grey earth – we had arrived! The journey to Florence took far longer than we had anticipated and weariness dragged through our bodies like a ball and chain around an ankle. Our train started to pull off, rattling and screeching away from the station as we soaked in the new surroundings in the cool night air.  I squinted at some small colourful objects in the distance and … [Read more...]

Tuscan Delights

March 21, 2012 by Allison Tibaldi2 Comments

When I first married into a Tuscan family, I was stunned at the sheer number of butcher shops that stood under the elegant porticos in Greve-in-Chianti's gracious piazza. This tiny town in the middle of the Chianti Classico wine country has a score of butchers, many more than I would have thought could possibly earn a livelihood from the miniscule population. Americans may be known for consuming large quantities of beef, but Tuscans are … [Read more...]

Nightlife in Florence

February 14, 2012 by MaikeLeave a Comment

Tuscany and Florence in particular are widely known for two things: Chianti and Renaissance art. On a vacation to Italy, staying in Florence apartments, you will most likely spend your days appreciating famous artwork and monuments such as Michelangelo's David, Il Duomo, or the Palazzo Vecchio just to name a few. Sitting down at a nice enoteca to enjoy a good glass of Chianti is not only a great reward after a day of sightseeing, it is also one … [Read more...]
