Our first night in Myanmar we decided to spend the evening at the Shangri La. After our time in Singapore with C’s parents, it was nice to have some alone time. Plus, we were in Yangon New Year’s Eve, and we’d read that they had a great NYE party at the hotel. (You can read […]

Vermont Photo Diary

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, but in my opinion, the opposite is often true. I didn’t realise how much I missed Vermont until I was there again recently! We took a little jaunt over the pond for a wedding in Montreal, and then followed it up with a little time in New […]

Today I Take Action

So Donald Trump is now the president of the United States. That means he is my president. It makes me feel sick and on the verge of tears, but, despite the fact that he lost the popular vote, that’s the reality of the situation. I realize this is a travel blog, and I promise that […]

Europe, Switzerland, Travel, Uncategorized

One of the (many) things I like about living in Europe is how accessible things are. Want to go to Italy? You can be there in just a little over two or three hours. Belgium? Hop on a Eurostar and get there in 45 minutes! But the bummer is always having to come up with […]

Challenge and Change

It has been a while since I let politics get me riled up. At least, riled up enough to post on the blog. Because I have readers from all over the world, I don’t typically think it appropriate to offer my opinion on politics, especially because my interests and views are often relegated to one […]

Travel Listography

I have a confession to make. I love making lists. Like LOVE. Being “slightly” neurotic (I know, I know, some of you may take issue with the adjective I used) lists give me a sense of control and calm that keeps impending panic attacks at bay. I’ve touted the power of list-making before elsewhere, and it […]

S.S. Atlantica

It was one of those perfect London evenings best spent with friends. Lucky me, not only was a great night on the books, it was a night on the river. I went to the S.S. Atlantica, a 30s-themed boat cruise on the Thames. It was basically a combination of all the things I love in […]

Travel Book Club

I’ve never belonged to a book club, but I strongly suspect I’d really love it if I had the time to join one. Alas, I equally suspect that most book clubs would not love me as I travel so much I’d miss meetings all the time.So, I’m dreaming of joining a book club but in […]

Asteroids, Intruders and CO2 Poisoning

I must precede any explanation of Monday’s events with the fact that my greatest fear has always been an intruder taking me out of my bed in the middle of the night. Well, that and being witness to a life-destroying asteroid hitting the earth. As a child I couldn’t go outside at night, and when […]

Coming Out of Retirement

I try not to get too political anymore. There’s no better way to spike my blood pressure than a spirited political debate, and I’m getting too old and cynical to think my opinions matter much, especially in the extremely polarized American political landscape. However, yesterday the Supreme Court decided it was perfectly legal for corporations […]
