How I love that day flight. You can work through the day on the plane, arrive looking roughly the same as when you left, and get to enjoy a great meal in London before you begin your journey. Or better still, grab a hotel night at the incredibly convenient Sofitel that is situated at Terminal […]
London Rome and Paris, coming soon!
It’s the start of soccer mania. The greatest game in the world is everywhere this summer. There is the Copa America in the USA, the European Nations Cup in France, and not to mention soccer at the Olympics in Brazil. This is definitely a summer for los fanáticos. Carried live on TV in the USA, […]
It has become a habit – catching the two greatest club teams in the world at a venue in some foreign place and watching the drama and spectacle of the absolute pinnacle of soccer’s elite competing for the Champion’s League trophy. Of course, what better story than a repeat of the story that unfolded two […]
What to do on a beautiful spring morning in Milan? In light of the fact that we had a long day ahead of us with a soccer game that would stretch until midnight, what better compliment to il calcio than a bit of culture and fashion. I had never seen The Last Supper by Leonardo […]
When most people think of Milan, they think of the Duomo, La Scala, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and The Last Supper. These are the “iconic” parts of Milan that are on every sightseeing tour if you happen to be passing this way. Let’s face it; Rome compared to Milan is pretty much a non-issue. […]
A remarkable aspect of London is the way they have adapted their new skyline to an old river. When I was growing up, the Thames and the embankment areas were barely used. There was one boat that would take you from Westminster to Kew Gardens and Henry VIII’s palace of Hampton Court and another boat that […]
As a Brit living in the USA and holding a UK passport and a USA passport, I felt that I had this unique opportunity to work and travel in 29 countries. That changed. The United Kingdom has just experienced a political nightmare. What most thought would be a very passable referendum to remain inside of […]
Stay tuned for my favorite places to eat and stay in Paris and Spain!
I thought you might all enjoy this for Father’s Day…
So, there’s a new kid on the block now. I just purchased a Raden carry-on. Check out the website! They have a really cool color palette for each of its suitcases of varying sizes. As an entry-level bag, they have introduced an incredibly affordable 22” roller with state-of-the-art Japanese spinning wheels, a fabulous polycarbonate shell, and […]
I have a confession to make. I switched from my Briggs and Riley two wheel 20-inch carry-on bag to one of the four wheel bags: the Samsonite spinner. I made this move because I didn’t want to pull my bag around the airport when I could have it ride by my side in the four-wheel […]
I live in Boston, I am from London, and I am in the travel business. I watch the endless flotilla of sightseeing buses in their various forms trundle through the streets and main thoroughfares of all of the major cities. I actually love the double decker buses in London and the hop on/hop offs that […]
The news on the street is that summer is going to be a lot of fun when you are traveling around US airports. More fun than ever before actually and here’s the reason. TSA have reduced their staff by 2,000 people. So, those long lines that we already encounter are getting longer and longer. Tempers […]
On June 23, the UK will hold a historic referendum that will determine whether they stay inside of the European Union or exit. “The Brexit,” as it’s called, has divided the country. Britain was a relative second choice to the initial family of six countries that formed the early version of the European Union in […]
