International Travel, Things You Should Know

Herewith, my Hits & Misses from the recent vacation in Africa (in no particular order) … Hit: South African Airways — excellent planes; on-time flights; lovely staff; no baggage issues. We were told (by a retired pilot) that their maintenance standards are so high, many other airlines use them to service their planes. Major Hit: The Saxon Hotel, […]

When one has the good fortune to be just a few hours from the world-class Napa Valley, it is easy to become a bit jaded in terms of whether another region can compete. But when the hubby and I arrived in Franschhoek, outside of Cape Town (see previous post), it was time to rethink that premise. Certainly […]

It is finally time to utter some of my favorite words: “And, we’re off!” Every year at this time, the hubby finishes tax season (for which I thank him profusely) and we are fortunate to take off to yet another planned out, thought through, thoroughly explored part of the world for roughly three weeks.
