In the distance, I could see a concrete pole across the road that looked out of place here in the seaside town of Brighton, just an hour outside of London by train. A few minutes later when I looked, I saw a glass orb encircling the pole and inching upwards […]
It was a Friday night in London, we were hungry and had no reservations when we saw the corner restaurant, O’ver Italian restaurant. ‘O ver means truth in the Neapolitan dialect according to their website. It was packed inside and out so I was prepared for a long wait or […]
It was Friday morning and I was swimming in a London hotel pool without a care in the world. The world outside was calling…it was London after all…but I wanted more time to luxuriate in the warm water of the basement pool. The pool was an added bonus as the […]
I’ve sailed on many cruise ships and cruise lines solo, with friends and family. I’ve also been subject to missed ports while sailing, norovirus, medical evacuations and a cruise ship that never left the port of Miami so I’ve seen some things. And I get the cruise contract basically gives […]

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 […]
As if nearly 90 chocolate shops in Bruges wasn’t enough….there’s Choco Story which is a CHOCOLATE MUSEUM in Bruges. A museum dedicated to the origin of chocolate around the world and in Belgium. If there was any attraction that had my name written all over it – it was this! […]
