While choosing our first vacation in over a year we considered several options but decided on Newport, RI. It is one of our favorite places to visit. Newport is a seaside city on Aquidneck Island in Newport County, Rhode Island. It is located in Narragansett Bay approximately 74 miles south of Boston and 180 miles northeast of New York City. It is known as a New England summer resort town and is famous for its historic mansions and its rich sailing history. It was the locat

Situated about two-and-half hours from Boston, five hours from New York City, and one-and-a-half hours from the nearest commercial airport in Burlington, the journey into the bucolic landscape surrounding Barnard, Vermont begins the Twin Farms experience. Allow time to dine on lunch and peruse antique shops in Woodstock, visit the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and tour a working farm, or watch artists shape fine glassware at the Simon Pearce workshop in

Most commonly thought of in Europe, on the Rhine, Danube, Seine, Douro and even Po rivers, River Cruising is also extending itself to Russia, China, Vietnam & Cambodia and – yes...even the United States (although US River Cruising is a whole different animal). Many of the voyages are “themed”, for special interests such as “wine immersion”, “Tulip Time”, “Jewish Heritage”, a popular “beer tasting cruise” along the Rhine, and the ever-popular “Christmas Markets” cruises during

Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun is my number one recommendation for adults only luxury at an all inclusive resort in Cancun. It is consistently raved about from my clients, colleagues and even #1 rated on TripAdvisor. Set on an idyllic white sand beach overlooking the serene blue Caribbean Sea, Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun beckons with an experience that takes luxury to another level. Newly transformed, this luxe, adults-only, all-inclusive once again ra

Are you one of those modern couples who already has all the pots, pans and china that you could ever use? One of the latest trends in Honeymoon/Romance travel is the use of a “Honeymoon Registry”. I can work with you to choose the perfect honeymoon and, once the reservation is made, I can help you set up an online registry through which you can have your guests contribute to the cost of the trip, instead of purchasing another silver flower vase! I recently had a bridal couple

Ahhh....the images we have in our head of the stuffy, usually British, Butler – almost always named Jeeves! But let’s be honest...most of us have no real reference other than a few TV sitcoms like “Benson”, “Family Affair” and “The Fresh Prince of Belair”. Or maybe “Downton Abbey”. In the real world, Butler Service is becoming a much sought-after perk at many All-Inclusive resorts and on some Cruises. It sounds romantic having someone at your beck-and-call ready to serve you

I am excited to get back to ultra-luxe bucket list travel. The Maldives are open for tourism with reasonable and safe Covid-19 protocols currently in place. The Maldives is a nation of islands in the Indian ocean that spans across the equator. They have coral reefs that account for 5% of the planet's reefs which offer vivid bands of color. The small islands have white, soft sand surrounded by the clearest shallow waters imaginable. This is the perfect destination for a buc
