Travel
I planned a last minute transatlantic cruise from New York to Southampton, England and was super happy to pack my new Waldlaufer Nora sandals in Bronze because the color is a great neutral (surprisingly) to pair well with so many outfits and an easy shoe to pack. As I’ve posted […]
When in Rome…..or Bruges… I often shun the very touristy things when I travel but in Bruges, I had to give in to the canal tour. Sure, I already walked a good portion of the city along the canal but why not get in the boat with thirty strangers to […]
We are now one step closer to my favorite things (Scotland version) – the Highlands, Whiskey and Shortbread Biscuits now that American Airlines launched their new (seasonal) direct flights from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) to Edinburgh (EDI) this week. For East Coast travelers that fly out of Philadelphia, this is […]
It’s crazy how many times I’ve visited London and still have not checked all the boxes in “things to see”. With the Diana, Her Fashion Story exhibit, I thought it was about time to venture over to Kensington Palace for a tour. As I exited the Kensington tube station, I […]
366 stairs to the top. I’m not quite sure what I expected at the Bruges Belfry Climb of the bell tower but once I started, I had to finish. The Belfry of Bruges is a medieval tower in the center of town and was featured in the classic dark comedy […]

I miss the brain freeze you get when eating a good pint of ice cream. I didn’t give up ice cream voluntarily, my body decided for me when I started experiencing lactose intolerance symptoms in my early 30’s. Once I was diagnosed, I became the food buzz kill at restaurants […]
Six hours and fifteen minutes. That was my layover in London’s Gatwick airport on the way to Amsterdam (AMS) airport before my transit to Rotterdam. If this was Singapore Changi airport, then six hours is easy layover to keep busy but in Gatwick it just seemed awful to be stuck […]
I warn everyone “set aside a few hours to browse the OneFineStay website as it’s a rabbit hole of “Wow!” As you dream of renting a luxury million dollar home, flat, mews house or villa that people actually live in…yes, actually live in…you wonder if this qualifies as “living like […]
