Each December Manhattan’s biggest department stores reveal their unique holiday window displays. After checking out the holiday window displays at all the biggies from Bloomies to Macy’s, I’m officially declaring my favorite of 2013 is Saks Fifth Avenue! The Legend of the Saks Yeti is told through six animated display windows and a 3D light […]
Romantic Rothenburg’s Reiterlesmarkt
Red-tiled roofs on crooked half-timbered houses. Horse carriages that clippity-clop over the cobblestone streets. Stone walls studded with 42 towers. This is Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a Medieval town that looks like it could be straight out of a movie. I imagine that the town is enchanting any time of the year, but with Christmas […]
Feeling Like a Kid Again at Nuremberg Toy Museum
Christmas and Santa seems to bring out the kid in all of us this time of the year. So when I was perusing the list of the thirty-some museums we could visit in Nuremberg and spotted the Nuremberg Toy Museum, I just had to go! I’m a child of the ’80s and my Christmas wishlist […]
Ballooning Over Bagan
Tim and I were married in a hot air balloon in Las Vegas in 2002. Well, a grounded hot air balloon. The weather was too windy to even safely inflate the balloon for our wedding photos. Despite scheduling hot air balloon rides everywhere from Las Vegas to Egypt, something always kept us grounded. After an […]
Exploring Mandalay
Myanmar, and especially Bagan, still isn’t the easiest country to reach despite the fact that things are quickly changing there. Even in just the last two months since we booked our flights from Bangkok, more airlines are offering daily flights to Myanmar’s larger cities like Yangon and Mandalay. Though there still aren’t direct flights to […]
Climbing a London Icon: Up at the O2
The O2 Arena is a London icon. Not only is The O2 the world’s busiest music arena, it’s also the second largest arena in the UK and one of the largest in all of Europe. The venue has played host to the most sought after musical stars including Bon Jovi, the first band to ever […]
Afternoon Tea at The Langham
Few things are more quintessentially British than afternoon tea, which dates back more than 150 years. It was, after all, Anna the 7th Duchess of Bedford that introduced afternoon tea. The Duchess would get so hungry waiting for dinner, which was typically served at 9pm, that she got in the habit of ordering tea, bread […]
High Speed Thrills on the Thames
I’m waiting at the London Eye Pier when a shiny red speedboat comes zigzagging toward me. This is my ride for the day and I climb aboard the RIB, a high-performance rigid inflatable boat that is lightweight and can operate with a speed between 40 and 70 knots (74 and 130 kilometers per hour). I’m totally ready for […]
Eating London’s East End
I’ve been on quite a few food tours from chocolaty Chicago to Spain’s tapas and Venice’s cicchetti to Montreal’s international foodie scene. I LOVE food tours! They are a great way to discover a city and really connect with the culture of it. So when I heard about Eating London Food Tours, I was just […]
Wine Wednesday: Champagne and Gourmet Hotdogs
Champagne and caviar…nope, not at Bubbledogs. This clever restaurant swapped out caviar and instead pairs their flutes of bubbly with gourmet hotdogs. And people line up literally around the block to wait to try what sounds like an odd culinary combination! I, of course, had to join the crowd and find out what the hype […]
