Arriving in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, was like taking a trip back in time to the 1980’s Soviet Union. Bratislava, much like Budapest, is divided by the River Danube following through the middle of the city. Driving from Vienna, we came upon the rows and rows of the Communist era gray concrete apartment buildings […]
Weekend in Wien
Vienna, or Wien in German, is the capital of the Republic of Austria. Blessed with sunshine and a clear blue sky, we got checked into our hotel and headed out to explore the city. The Museum Quarter was a short 10 minute walk from our hotel and the heart of the city. Formally the Imperial […]

So, wondering […]
A Little Slice of Heaven: Prickly Pear Cay
Prickly Pear Cay is a deserted little island lying off the coast of Anguilla. Nobody lives on Prickly Pear and restaurant staff travel over each day to be of service to the island’s visitors. Prickly Pear is simply about relaxation. There are three reefs lying just off shore that provide the best snorkeling we’ve seen […]
Island Hopping to St. Barths
Saint Barthélemy (aka St. Barths) has long been a playground for celebrities, models and “it girls.” While that might immediately make you think St. Barth’s is uber exclusive (it is), it’s also totally unpretentious. A French overseas territory, the island blends the best of laid-back Caribbean flair with the French sophistication of the Côte d’Azur. […]
