    Traveling In The Age Of COVID-19

    July 5, 2020 / 1 Comment

    This year vacation planning is looking a little different for me. Usually during the year I have 1 big trip. Luckily last year I had 3 (Cruise, Australia and New Zealand, and Prague) so I should not be complaining that this year I do not have an extremely large travel trip planned due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.

    Praha (Prague) in 3 Days

    January 31, 2020 / No Comments

    Prague, the former capital of Bohemia, is a city that has a small town feel and charm. Situated on the Vltava River the city of a hundred spires is famous for the baroque architecture, gothic churches, and the medieval astronomical clock.

    The tiny island in the Caribbean Sea is an idyllic vacation spot. The small island in the Caribbean Sea is the ideal location to lay on a beach and let the real world melt away. Saint Martin is French on one side and Dutch on another. When you arrive to the island, either by cruise ship or plane, you will…

    Cruising

    July 9, 2019 / 1 Comment

    Sometimes when you mention you are going on a cruise people look at you and say ‘Oh nice, I couldn’t be trapped on a boat’. Some people are initiated with larger cruise ships and think the number of people who will be on the ship would be overwhelming and that they would get bored between ports. To me that is…
