Spending a Weekend in Savannah, Georgia
A trip to Savannah, Georgia, is the perfect destination in the US for a quick weekend getaway. This is exactly what we did a week before Thanksgiving 2021, and the weather was absolutely perfect. While Savannah can be a hot, humid destination, in mid-November, the conditions are so comfortable and pleasant. We flew down from ...
New Year’s Eve 2020 at The Cove Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas
Living in New Jersey, or anywhere in the northern United States, our winters can be long and cold. So, it is typical for us to find warmer climates to vacation during this time. However, for us traveling in 2019 was somewhat limited since we had worked on remodeling our house during the year. Originally, we ...
Day Trip to Berlin
The area of Germany we lived in was the Rhineland-Palatinate in the southwestern part of the country. By train, we were closer to Paris (3 hours) than to Berlin (5 hours), which is on the opposite side (northeastern part) of Germany. So we only made it to Berlin once; but, it was a fantastic day ...
Returning to the St. Regis Resort in Mauritius
It was love at first sight for Amanda and me with the St. Regis Resort in Mauritius. So much so, that this was our second visit in two years. Our first visit was in 2015 and this was a year later, both while we lived in Germany. For this trip, we flew Business Class via ...

The Amazing St. Regis Bora Bora Resort
When we decided we wanted to go to Bora Bora, we needed to decide where to stay. There are many options to choose, from the 5-Star Resorts encircling the island to smaller hotels on the center main island. Of course, we chose the former! One resort that makes almost all the Top Lists of Places ...
Traveling to Bora Bora from New York
Did you know it takes 2.5 days of air travel to get to Bora Bora from New York? A strange thing I like to do is study maps and globes... the real kind you hold in your hands and can touch. As a child, it amazed me how large the Pacific Ocean is as it fills ...
Our Top Bucket List Destination – Bora Bora in French Polynesia
One of the most frequent questions our friends ask us regarding our travels is "Where is your favorite place you've been?" The answer to this question has always been difficult because it requires a little more clarity. For example, my favorite European country is Italy. Favorite place to see history is Rome. My favorite cultural ...
