Travel: For the Solo At Heart

Published by

As you may know that I travel very often – and most of the time I do it with someone. Whether the hubs, or friends or a group I’ve put together – I am never alone. This past trip – in October – which I have yet to share with all of you but couldn’t because  upon my return, there was an air to the nation, a sort of daunting pre-election jitters, compounded by the results and the aftermath, and just as the dust is settling (hopefully-perhaps I am out of touch) we jump right into the holiday season – Thanksgiving and all the planning that goes with it. So, until I can share with you all of the wonderful discoveries I made on this trip. I have been reading articles about travelling every chance I get. You see, while on the plane back to San Francisco, I found myself toying with the idea of travelling alone – at least once, and this article seems to be encouraging me along:

Vacation So Far…Rain and More Rain

Published by

I’ve never been on vacation in October. Well, maybe a destination wedding. But really that doesn’t count like a genuine two week planned trip to a far away destination. This is truly the first. And it seems the world is going to hell in a hand basket as far as the weather is concerned, and naturally it is all going down while I am travelling through Italy this week. First stop was Rome, landing through the blackened clouds and touching ground to a stormy day in the eternal city. But the hubs and I persevered as we had a schedule to follow. Walking leisurely through a town we love so much. Snapping photographs and then touching them up over an espresso at an outdoor cafe, sitting under heat lamps. Day two was Vatican City, and more rain, and day three some sort of shopping, which is what I planned but ended up just sitting on the Spanish steps for most of the day and enjoyed the freshly cleaned work of art while people watching.

Anyway, here are some interesting tidbits to consider if you are planning a trip to Europe.

Travel: The World and If Not Then Italy

Published by

Year in and year out, I do my best not to include Italy in my annual trip to Europe because I think I’ve seen it all. But I fail miserably, finding a new tiny village to see, recreating a travel plan including this fascinating country. With that said, I have included some of my favorite articles from around the world, in travel that is. {click here for The American}

Travel Or Not – This is still very interesting

Published by

Usually around this time of the year I stop searching online for all things travel. No wait, let me clarify. I am usually on a plane on a three-week vacation somewhere. But as I stated before I shifted my holidays/vacation/personal time off from  the normal September/October annually to early May. Hence, the constant click here and there for all things travel. Latest finds, which I feel are pretty damn interesting and worthy of sharing:
