Welcome to the world at your fingertips!
It just doesn’t get any better than this. Delicious food. Inimitable service. Spectacular sunsets that wish you good night. This photo is of the sun setting over the Baltic Sea. I don’t think I ever want to get off this ship. Image courtesy of JohnnyJet.com.
I have no travel plans at the moment and when that happens, I resort to daydreaming about where I’d like to go, what I’d like to be doing and what I’d take with me. Right now, I could sure use a beach. It’s hot, hot, hot where I live right now so I’m not in [...]
As I mentioned yesterday, I traveled on Seabourn Odyssey through the Turkish and Greek islands. We went from Dikili, Kusadasi and Bodrum in Turkey to Santorini, Mylos, Navplion and Athens in Greece. While each port was beautiful in its own way, some, for me, were more special than others. My two favourites were Santorini and [...]
Our afternoon in Istanbul was more laidback but just as insightful when it came to seeing, living and better understanding Turkish culture. I love spending time in a foreign city doing what the locals do, not necessarily traipsing from one museum to another, though of course, the historical sites and museums are musts. But I [...]
I traveled to California two weeks ago and I carried a heavy old hardcover in my shoulder bag. I could honestly feel it weighing me down as I made my way through the airport but I had no choice. An avid reader, there was no way I was going to go away for a week [...]
What a day yesterday turned out to be. I’m telling myself that the tale I’m about to tell is what makes travel fun, exciting and unforgettable! If you’ve been keeping up with my previous posts, you know that my boyfriend John and I are sailing on Seabourn Sojourn right now. The 12-day itinerary is as [...]
A purifying waterless hand soap, you say? Perfect! Especially for a germaphobe such as myself. This handy travel-sized hand wash doesn’t require water, which means that you can give your hands a quick clean before eating on the go or after touching … you know … whatever that was your hand just grazed on the [...]
I just got off a British Airways flight from Toronto to London’s Heathrow Airport. Chilling in business class or Club World, as British Airways calls it, was fantastic from beginning to end. My lie-flat bed made the seven-hour flight speed by; I slept for most of the flight but enjoyed some snacks and a movie [...]
Hey – I like to shop as much as the next girl. But when I travel, the best thing I can bring home from my trip isn’t a pair of shoes or a fabulous new bag. What I love doesn’t cost a thing (hmm … that sounds an awful lot like the lyrics of a [...]
Tonight, I just had to share this photo. Absolute love. {photo via oscarprgirl.tumblr.com} Delayed at the airport – I know the feeling that ensues. Love how this photo captures that. Photo credit: Jerry Schatzberg, 1957. Like this:LikeBe the first to like this post.
I recently visited Iceland, the land of fire and ice, and this spectacular destination has made its way into my heart and onto my list of favourite places in the world. Nature’s bounty abounds here: volcanoes, glaciers, mountains, geothermal waters and the Northern Lights make it one of the world’s most breathtaking countries. A short [...]
