Since we’ve become leaner in our weight, a day off is not a time when we are able to rest. We had a delicious morning breakfast in The Plaza, where we tried various breakfast choices.

It was raining as we left Boschendal. The weather continued to worsen as we approached the N1, where visibility was only 50 yards. We decided to pay the fee and then take the motorway that goes via the Huguenot tunnel, which is three miles long. It’s a better alternative to the 11 miles that wind that run through the old […]

A drive that takes 5 to 6 minutes from the city of Chicago yet is like a completely different time in your life. Large green fields are abounding on the lush and undulating borders of the old Appalachian foothills. There is […]
There are ghost stories on every corner. As a fan of travel and who is obsessed with all things scary, New Orleans in autumn is one of my top things to do. Although I’m there to work every couple of years I make sure to visit and mark items (like places like a gothic talk-sale as well as creepy museums) off my ever-growing must-see lists. […]
