After my most recent visit, I’ve decided that Cape Town is my favorite city in the world. And I don’t say that lightly. I’ve been six times and each time, I find something new to love. It’s beautiful, vibrant and has an underlying energy that I just can’t explain. What to Do First things first. […]

I was en route to Singapore, the Island city-state just off Malaysia’s southern coast, for a few days when she mentioned that there was a secret bar in the middle of the city that made some of […]
It’s been many trips back and forth to Ireland, England and the continent. I’ve been on planes, in trains and driven myself all over Ireland – for the first time. Now it’s time to unwind. Of course I had to bypass London this visit. When I’m there, I never want to miss a thing. […]
