Giza Plateau and NMEC

Days 1 + 2 – The trip started out as a very rainy day at London, Heathrow. I ended up sitting next to someone on my tour, which was nice. Met the rest of the group at baggage claim in Cairo, and went to our hotel, the Steigenberger Pyramids. I didn’t realize it that night, but it is right across the road from the new … Continue reading Giza Plateau and NMEC

Why Do You Travel?

Do you travel for business, pleasure, or a mix of both? Millions take to the skies for business, but according to Fortune magazine, 54% of US employees still have vacation time left over at the end of the year. In all, Americans throw away 662 million vacation days! To me, that is insane. I basically live for my vacations. After my mortgage, bills, and necessities, … Continue reading Why Do You Travel?

Goldeneye

If you have ready any posts on this blog, you probably know of my love of James Bond. This past December I had the amazing good fortune of visiting Goldeneye.

Boston to the Bahamas, via Munich?

A lot of people bring nice fluffy, quick reads on vacation, I usually bring a couple myself. Most of the time I bring at least one serious book on a trip. On my last trip to the Bahamas (from Boston), I brought along a great book. Munich, by Robert Harris, was so good that I actually finished it before I landed in Nassau! Harris is … Continue reading Boston to the Bahamas, via Munich?

The Royal Towers, Atlantis Paradise Island

Travel Reviews

Barceló Maya Palace

I visited the all-inclusive Barceló Maya Palace* with my Aunt Claire in May 2016. I had been to Riviera Maya before, but not at a Barceló hotel. The Maya Palace is actually only one of five hotels on the property. The whole complex is huge. It seemed like their beach front went on forever, and it was beautiful. We stayed at the Premium Level in … Continue reading Barceló Maya Palace

My Love of Bond

I love James Bond. I love the books and the movies, and pretty much anything associated. I have loved Bond since I was a little kid. TNT and TBS used to have Bond-a-thons on the holidays. A couple of years they ran a two week one from Christmas to the end of New Year’s week. We would watch them every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. … Continue reading My Love of Bond

Coconut Bay, St. Lucia

I had never been to St. Lucia, and I had a great introduction at the all-inclusive Coconut Bay resort*. If you have ever been to an all-inclusive in Mexico or the Dominican, you know they are huge, with marble everywhere and soaring ceilings. I was sort of expecting the same thing at Coconut Bay. Boy, was I wrong, but in a good way. First, the … Continue reading Coconut Bay, St. Lucia

I’ll talk more about Atlantis in general in … Continue reading Atlantis, The Cove Paradise Island Bahamas
