FRANCAIS One of the things that made me love Italy is the landscape, it seem no matter where you go you always get picturesque scenery. On my last trip I got to visit another one of those beauties in the region or Liguria (bordering Tuscany) Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre (five lands) is the coastal area […]
FRANCAIS I visited different region of Italy but none of them had beaches like the ones in Sardinia. If you are looking for a beach vacation or at least to incorporate a few days in your trip of beach time that you will enjoy Sardinia. With almost 2000 kilometers of coast line the sand beaches […]
FRANCAIS Quite a few movies have been made of the ancient Roman city that was buried in volcanic ash and pumice when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. If you like history this Unesco World Heritage Site should be on your bucket list. Personally besides how well preserved this city is the level of advancement […]
FRANCAIS Capital of Tuscany Florence is a beautiful city with lots of history. From great authors such as Dante and Machiavelli and masters as Botticelli, Donatello and Michelangelo that left their mark on the city also making it a capital of the arts. One of the things I like about Florence is been able to […]
FRANCAIS If you are going to visit Sicily you need to plan half a day to visit Mount Etna. Located between Messina and Catania on the east coast of Sicily, this is the highest active volcano in Europe. There are different ways to visit or explore this Unesco World Heritage Site area depending on your […]
If you want to do the type of trip that will really take you to another world you should really visit Iceland. We decided to take a 4 day vacation to Iceland over Easter Weekend and what a trip it was. How to get there: If you`re leaving from the east coast Reykjavik is only […]
I’ve travel to Chicago many times, I love the architecture the vibe and the food of this city. On my last trip I stayed at the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel and I simply loved it. Located on Michigan right in front of the ”Bean” it’s a great location close to the Magnificent Mile, different museum […]
While in the Friuli region of Italy I was fortunate to have a friend who lives in the area make me visit the region. Visiting a region when you love food is more than just looking at the beautifully panoramic views but also indulge in the local cuisine. After one of our stops that brought […]
FRANCAIS There’s a lot of things to see in Florence and I had done some research before leaving on my trip. One of the sites I wanted to visit was the Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens They are both connected as the Boboli’s are the gardens of the Palazzo. They are easy to get to […]
After a couple of days visiting Florence I needed a little quiet time in the afternoon around a nice lunch and drink. Walking around looking for the spot that would give me that peace I stopped in front of Corte dei Pazzi. There was an alley like dining room area, which I could see was […]
One of my best meals while in Florence was here. Located on Via Del Proconsolo between the Duomo and Pallazo Vechio this osteria has a very cool atmoshpere. The decor is very rustic and the staff is super friendly and attentive. One of the specialty of Florence is the Bistecca alla Fiorentina, unfortunately it’s sold […]
First day of a nine days trip to Florence, I had a long flight just checked in at the hotel and I did what I rarely do… ask hotel staff for a restaurant recommendation. I don’t know why but almost every time I do it i’m always disappointed in the result. This time I have […]
I was in Atlanta a few weeks back for a couple of days and got to try a few restaurants, one of them was Ray In The City. Located downtown on Peach Tree this restaurant offers a wide variety of fish and seafood. There was a large convention in town and making a reservation was […]
San Diego’s Little Italy has a lot to choose from. After reviewing some menus online I decided to give Bencotto a try. First the restaurant is breathtaking, as you come outside you get a clear view of the entire restaurant through their large window that give on Fir Street. Glass and wood creating a warm […]
On a recent trip to San Diego I was a couple of streets away from San Diego’s Little Italy. With my love for Italian food I was thrilled to have so many restaurants to choose from. One of the things I really like from the neighborhood was the diversity in food that they offer, sure […]
Going to Las Vegas is always fun and the great thing about Vegas is that you can find packages for all budgets. I usually travel for business so the proximity to the different Convention Centers is what I’ll consider when booking but going over the travel sites I’ve seen some pretty good deals in all […]
Who doesn’t enjoy the sun during the winter months especially if you’re from an area that gets covered with snow. I got to take a little break and head to Miami for a 4 day trip and it felt good to get away from the snow. Four days is not a long time and I […]
Quebec city has in the old city lots of charm and naturally the establishments in that area work hard to offer different decors and cachet to their visitors. Friends took me to that nice little restaurant/wine bar on St-Jean street. The decor is rustic but it fits really well with the thematic and menu they […]
Traveling is always awesome, but traveling with some of your best buddies is even better. We had a wedding to attend is Boston, well actually in New Hampshire, so we decided to build a weekend around it. We were only going to be there for 3 days so we had to make the best out […]
FRANCAIS It was not my first time in San Francisco but it had still been close to 20 years since the last time I was there. I’ve seen the Golden Gate Bridge and I visited Alcatraz, I also saw Lombard street before and Chinatown while riding a Streetcar. That gave me the advantage of not […]
