After lots of action in Athens and Mykonos, it was time to relax in Santorini. Santorini had breathtaking scenery and the most amazing sunset I’ve ever seen….but I didn’t love it. It honestly was just too touristy for me. I saw 1 too many pubs, a Chinese restaurant and had the worst meal of my trip. […]
What’s Not to Love About Mykonos?
Mykonos was undoubtedly the highlight of my 3 stop Greece trip. It had everything that makes me happy – gorgeous beaches, fun day parties, amazing food, adventurous roadways, friendly people, authentic touches. I was in heaven! My hubby and I crammed so much in during our 4 day stay, that it’s hard to summarize everything […]
Don’t Skip Athens
I didn’t know what to expect from Athens. I hadn’t heard the most positive things about the city and some people even said to skip it and just transfer directly to Mykonos. But I am SO glad that my hubby and I didn’t listen to any of the negative comments. Athens was quite enjoyable and I […]
Lisbon Travel Tips
Lisbon has been on my travel list for awhile, and I finally made the trip with a friend 2 weeks ago. It was an enjoyable and easy going city, with lots of areas to explore and quick day trips to outer areas. I flew TAP Portugal, which was a 7 hour direct flight from JFK. […]
2 Wonderful Weeks in Venice Beach
I just came back from Venice Beach and already miss my daily pool time and healthy food options. I stayed with one of my best friends who lives in a hotel-like community called Lincoln Place, right in the heart of Venice. The pool was decked out with cabanas, fire places and lounge chairs. Needless to say, […]
My Constance Maldives Honeymoon Experience
As soon as my husband and I touched down in the Maldives, we knew that it would be a magical experience. After a quick customs clearance, we grabbed our bags and found a line of luxury hotel booths – and the Constance rep was right in front eager to greet us. Perfect way to kick […]
2015 Travel Highlights
I’ve been a bad, bad blogger with minimal posting in 2015. I attribute it to wedding planning, but moving forward I will be far more post-y. It’s actually my top resolution! Even though I’ve been pretty quiet on the blog, it doesn’t mean that this year has not been full of travel fun. It’s been […]
Tea Time and Night Strolls in London
I am a born and raised New Yorker, but I just like London way more than the big apple. It’s not that I don’t have pride for my city. Of course New York has many great qualities, but London is just a more civil city and I find myself generally calmer and happier when I’m […]
My Canterbury Tales
Just an hour train ride from London is the lovely town of Canterbury. And I was lucky enough to visit last month as my cousin was getting married in the area. Canterbury has small town charm and historic sites, but somehow manages to combine modern chain stores like Marks & Spencer, without ruining the feel. I traveled […]
Fun Times in Dublin
I can’t believe that I haven’t posted since January – guess time truly flies when you’re wedding planning! But I had to make sure that I recapped my May trip to Dublin because it was pretty awesome. I flew Aer Lingus to ensure I started my trip with the proper Irish feel. Mission accomplished! Green […]
