My first trip to Turkey was 15 years ago in the dead of the winter. Istanbul was my first primary destination; that winter the city experienced record snowfall. But despite the weather challenges it was an introduction to thepeople, the culture, the food and the country’s natural beauty. I’ve explored parts of the planet by boat; it offers a unique perspective to sail into destinations rather than drive or fly. My next trip to Turkey will most definitely be one of exploring the azure waters of the Aegean or the […]

One of the most memorable vineyards in all of my travels is the tiny vineyard at the Bordeaux Airport – because whenever I see this vineyard I know I’m within a short drive to some of the most coveted terroir on the planet. And in all my travels around the globe – its not like I’ve seen very many vineyards planted at airports! The few people on my flight scattered as soon as we landed; I took full advantage of a totally empty airport to wander its hall as I […]

Along with my partner, I recently took a short trip down to the English Riviera where I found beauty, history, and the most incredible food! We were lucky with the weather, the sun shone the whole time we were there and the air was warm and balmy, but I imagine this place is almost as scenic when the weather isn’t as accommodating. This part of Devon is best known for Torquay, home of Faulty Towers, but we wanted something a little more off the beaten track, a little more manor […]

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 connecting in Genoa.  The train […]

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. In 1862, National Hawthorne wrote, “The Willard may be much more justly called the center of Washington and the Union than either the Capitol, The White House, or the State Department.”  Welcoming its first presidential […]

Looking at numerous websites, Trip Advisor reviews, and tips from friends, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a travel destination and resort. My husband and I wanted to visit the Riviera Maya this month, in a location away from the thumping of Cancun or Playa del Carmen. What we found was Puerto Morelos, a smaller town smack in between the two, yet close enough to get to the Mayan ruins while enjoying the warm, tropical breezes of the Caribbean. After much research, we booked a week at […]

After spending a week enjoying the leisure life of the Mayan Riviera, we were excited as we boarded the bus for historic Tulum, edging this flourishing tourist region of Mexico. A land of greenery and white sandy beaches edged by a deep blue sea, it leaves an image of paradise on one’s soul. In addition, it offers lagoons, ancient Mayan ruins, ecological reserves as well as the world’s second largest coral reef. I hardly slept the night before, so involved were my thoughts in travelling back a thousand years to […]
