Paris is a magical city at any time of year, but during the holiday season it truly comes alive. If you’re planning on visiting the city of lights this Christmas, here are some of the best things to do to get you in the holiday spirit for Christmas in Paris.
Italy is a country known for its rich history, beautiful art, and delicious cuisine, and during the Christmas season it becomes even more special. If you’re planning on visiting Italy this holiday season or next, here are some of the best things to do to get you in the holiday spirit for a Christmas in Italy.
Let’s talk about Lisbon. This is one of the most underrated capitals in Western Europe. This capital city started as a trading port back in 1200 BC. However, most of the capital city was destroyed in an earthquake in the 1700s. Lisbon has the nickname of the “City of Light”. In this blog, we are going to talk about some of the things that it is most known for and what you can experience if you were to go and visit this European capital city.
Hello New York City. I have just visited this vibrant city for the first time over Thanksgiving 2022. This location is so full of activity, people and things to do. We stayed in the Upper West Side (so we could catch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade as well, but we visited several other areas of the city while we were there. Of course, it was certainly more challenging than a normal travel trip for me as I have a broken foot. So I was viewing a lot of New York City from a wheelchair so that my family didn’t have to move as slow as I could walk in my walking cast.
As Thanksgiving was yesterday (2022) I thought this week’s blog would be short and sweet and just a heartfelt thanks to all of my clients for being so wonderful and trusting Amore Travel Designs to help design/execute their vacations. Thank you also for all the wonderful referrals you have sent to us as well. So this Thanksgiving post is to you. Cheers to a wonderful holiday season and a bright 2023.
As my recent blogs and newsletters have been about festive travel and such, I thought, where to next when we are past the festive season. Of course, this will depend on whether you want a warm destination or one geared towards snowy activities. However, where would people want to go in February for example, when they are past family visiting, holiday meals and just need some R&R. Well, let’s see if we can dive into some possibilities for February Getaways.
I have been commenting on my weekly newsletter about festive travel. So I thought now might be a good time to post a blog about it as well. So what is festive travel? Festive travel is traveling during the holidsays, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years. I am going to try to highlight a few “favorites” for festive travel in this blog post.
I had the pleasure of visiting Baha Mar in Nassau, Bahamas this past week. I stayed at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, but there are several properties connected all together. There is the Rosewood Baha Mar and SLS (which are both Virtuoso properties). During the covid period, they also spent over 200 million building a very large water park.
I just returned from Italy on Sunday, and walking through our airport in Denver, I was flabbergasted by the long security lines. They were wrapping all the way around the baggage claim areas. There were so many stressed travelers standing in these lines, that I thought this might be a moment for another blog post about the security lines at the airports.
Richard and I decided to get out of Florence for a day to visit a picturesque wine estate in Tuscany. The property was called Torre A Cona. It was built in 1066 originally as a castle, and later changed to a country estate . There are many buildings on the property now, to include an Enoteca, a large cellar and wine making buildings, as well as a hotel and some private villas/apartments. Torre A Cona has a large swimming (with a second on the horizon) as well a restaurant and bar area. This Tuscany wine estate is a great way to see the iconic Tuscan countryside.
