Everyone dreams of luxury but what is luxe to one person may not be to another. For me, I try to use loyalty points/miles to stay in luxury hotels, fly long haul business class and use the savings to upgrade my experiences along the way with private guides, helicopter […]
If you were to walk into most Pennsylvania state controlled liquor stores, the “Australian” wine section is about 90% Yellow Tail. While the “premium section” has a few Australian wines, you can imagine how exciting it has been over the years to visit wineries in Australia on my holidays. My […]
As I look back on the Australia trip, the stars seemed to align for my day on The Great Ocean Road (the GOR) – the weather began sunny and bright on the cool side. When I was researching “things to do in Melbourne”, driving The Great Ocean Road was at […]
Visiting Paris often entails a visit to the Louvre, the Musee D’Orsay or another museum in the city to view amazing art. I was interested in viewing the art outside of the museums – the Paris Street Art scene throughout the city. The tour wasn’t originally on my radar, but […]

Watching the movie “The Angels’ Share” (posted here) provided a bit of insight into Scottish whisky. Prior to that my only knowledge of whiskey was drinking whiskey sours. With my visit to Dublin, I was curious to learn more about whiskey with a visit to the Jameson Irish Whiskey Distillery in […]
It takes a fantastic guide with personality, a good mix of tourists and a sense of humor to turn a really lousy weather day into a good experience. Choosing the Wild Wicklow Tour in Dublin as one of my conference options (provided free to attendees, normally 28 Euro), I was […]
A photo tour may not be something you ever thought of adding to your “must do” vacation list but you should definitely add it. While some photo tours are instructional and require special cameras and tripods as you learn technique, other tours are educational and fun. Dublin at Night with […]
