Welcome to La Habana (Day 1)
Normally for my summer travels I head to France or another European destination. But having lost my dad earlier this year, I knew that for this season I wanted to do something together with my mom. In the past she was never able to travel as she was dad’s primary caretaker throughout his long and…
Taste of Dubrovnik
Before this visit to Dubrovnik, I had no idea of what to expect as far as Croatian cuisine. I had never tasted Croatian food before nor had I ever heard of the preparation methods and definitely had never seen Croatian cooking on food TV or in magazines. But I did assume that since the region…
Beautiful Naples & Marco Island
Many people guess correctly when they think that the name Naples is Italian. The name Naples caught on when early promoters described the bay as “surpassing the bay in Naples, Italy”. The southwest Florida destination gradually became popular during the early 1900’s for fishing and hunting, and as a remote winter retreat for wealthy northerners.
Fort Myers at Sunset
Just about 45 minutes from Sanibel Island and/or from Naples, Fort Myers is an easy day trip for visitors to either one of those popular South Florida destinations. Fort Myers is known for its beaches, fishing, shopping, and the opportunity to learn about two of the nation’s most famed inventors and business leaders- Thomas Edison and Henry Ford.

Baden-Baden
During my stay in Munich, I decided to take a side trip to the German spa town of Baden-Baden. Situated in the Black Forest in southwest Germany near the French border, Baden-Baden (baden means bath) is known for its spas and thermal baths because the town sits on natural hot springs. As the story goes, Baden-Baden first became famous…
