Our trip to St. Barths (Saint Barthelemy) has come and gone. 10 days in paradise wasn’t a bad life at all. Travel school in the morning and after lunch the island was ours! We usually stay in the Hotel Guanahani and Spa, but it was under construction, so Le Sereno Beach Hotel became our home. [...]

Where did 2010 go? The holidays snuck up on me and then left as quickly as they came. Hello 2011. Here’s a quick recap since I blogged last: Stayed at Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica in mid-November for work. Biked along the pier, held travel school in the morning, made what Charles called ‘mud-pies’ [...]

Lederhosen, dirndls, bratwursts, steins of beer, live polka music and plenty of toothy grins! The German spirit lives as close as an hour out of the city.

We just got back from Amsterdam and I cant stop thinking about bikes. Bikes as a form of transportation not just recreation. Bike culture is always so refreshing to see. The motorist-bicyclist relationship is one of equality, respect and safety. Everyone seems to be connected, supportive and abiding by an innate set of road rules. [...]
Stockholm: Beauty on Water

Stockholm surprised me. I really didn’t know what to expect before we arrived, but left understanding why this capitol’s marketing slogan is beauty on water. Built on 14 granite islands gracefully rising out of the waters where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea, this city begged to be explored both on foot and by [...]
A Parisian Park Gets Face-Lift!

Jardin des Tuileries is one lucky park! It got a playground face-lift just in time for summer. Charles and I adore this park because the location (1st arrondissement). But to be honest, the enclosed playground was not so great…it was outdated, unimpressive and Charles would get bored easily with the equipment. Not anymore….the playground now [...]
