What’s Your Mission?

Hotel Review: My Stay at Hotel Elysée
Disclosure: I was comped for part of my stay at Hotel Elysée but all opinions and views are honest and my own.

London was the fourth stop on our “round-the-world” trip. After about a week in Paris, a day in Brussels, and two days in Amsterdam, we were back on the road headed to the UK. Since we had a rental car, we got a ticket to take the Eurotunnel (auto train) from France to outside of […] Read More »
Philly: There’s No Place Like Home
I recently took a quick trip to my hometown of Philly. There’s nothing like that feeling of nostalgia when you return to the place where you were born and raised.

Amsterdam is More Than What You Think
Amsterdam may be best known for its ‘pleasures’ (the infamous Red Light District and its ‘coffee shops’) but the city is so much more than just that.

Travel Tuesday: What to Pack for a Round the World Trip
When my husband and I decided to take a ’round the world’ trip (well, around Europe and Asia) for 45 days, there were plenty of things we had to take care of in planning our trip. But for me, one of the hardest things was deciding what to pack! As you know, I love my […] Read More »
Travel Tuesday: Back to Barbados
Editor’s note: For years I’ve been debating whether or not to start a travel blog. I’ve always loved to travel and typically visit at least two new places each year.
