I’ve been asked a lot why I chose Quebec City for my first Solo-MOM-Travel. It’s really something I debated about a lot, and let me tell why I’m glad I chose QC!… Read More 6 Reasons to Choose Quebec City for your First Solo Female Travel
The first time around, as we walked down Quai Anatole France, the girls chattering away, looking at things like pigeons and trying to identify that yummy food smell. I looked longingly at Musee d’Orsay as we walked by, knowing I wouldn’t be going in. When we were in Paris this past summer with our girls,… Read More Paris: Musee d’Orsay
I’m not sure exactly what we were expecting the Roman Agora to be, but it wasn’t this. Mostly, it’s a big empty field, with ruins bordering it. And the weird thing is that we could step right up on the ruins and touch things, which was so disorienting we kept looking for the signs that… Read More Athen’s Roman Agora
I love travel books. Often, when browsing a bookstore, I find myself in front of the travel books and maps of foreign cities. The debate begins: I don’t need another travel book. I really don’t need another travel book on my shelf. Am I even ever going to go to Bucharest? …Well, I mean, look… Read More Athens: Plaka in Photos

So we headed in the direction of Syntagma Square and… Read More Changing of the Guard, Athens
So, as I get up and get started, enjoying a cup of coffee on my terrace, staring at the Acropolis, I find myself husbandless. Some of you may think, “Whoo-hoo! Party!” But, I’m not really the “Whoo-hoo! Party!” kind of person. Plus, this is my 20th Anniversary trip. And I’m husbandless. The plan now is… Read More “You Look Up, You See Acropolis, You Know Where You Are.”
The Athens Gate Hotel was my choice for the Athens portion of my 20th anniversary trip with my husband. I read reviews and researched online, looking at location, pricing, views, and amenities of many options in the same general area, and in the end Athens Gate Hotel came out on top. As we’ve all learned,… Read More The Athens Gate Hotel Review
I did one whole post of Windows of Assissi previously because I had so very many cool windows I had photographed in the town. But Assissi was not at all limited to the windows, so here’s a look at other sites. As you approach Assissi, it really is beautiful. A cluster of white buildings, dominated by… Read More Assissi in Photos
