Poland was on my mind for a while. So, I decided to take a short trip during the beginning of January. I took a flight into Warsaw, that landed in the early evening. Went straight to the hotel to check in and then decided to go for a stroll to checkout Warsaw at night. From…
Christmas Markets, Wiesbaden and beyond
If you are looking for a family holiday during the Christmas Season, Germany is the way to go! We spent 9 days visiting picturesque towns, eating German foods and getting filled with the Christmas Spirit. Wiesbaden Wiesbaden is a lovely city known for its WWII neoclassical architecture and its spas. It happens to be one…
Heidelberg and the largest wine barrel
While staying in Wiesbaden, one of the nearby areas we went to was the romantic town of Heidelberg. (read more about our Christmas Holiday in Germany here and here) The day we visited, we were blessed with A LOT of snow which added to the beauty of this town and gave it a fairytale feel to…
Rüdesheim am Rhein during the holidays.
It’s been some time since the holiday season has passed. Between traveling, family time, catching up on work and trying to recover, it’s NOW that I’m able to post about my wonderful time in Germany!!! I had visited Hamburg about 6 years ago for a short 2-night business trip. I had back to back meetings…

So on our last night in Yangon, we ordered a taxi to…
Sightseeing Yangon
On our last sightseeing day in Yangon, our morning started off….a bit rough. The day before was a crappy day for me, literally and figuratively. We must have slept less than 4 hours or so. Although, I wasn’t at my best I was excited to see some of the magnificent sights in Yangon. It was…
Burma Belly
The morning we left our hotel in Inle Lake, Nyaung Shwe, my travel partner and I were feeling….a bit off. Our tummies weren’t in the best of moods. Maybe we over indulged the day before, maybe that Thai Chicken Salad was a bit too spicy, maybe the fish wasn’t fresh, maybe one too many cocktails?…
Savoy Hotel Yangon
For our stay in Yangon we were hosted at the gorgeous four star Savoy Hotel Yangon. Walking into the property is like stepping into a different era. The Savoy Hotel Yangon has a wonderful Old World feel to it but with all the modern day amenities you could possibly need. Throughout the location the sense…
Wine tasting and eating in Nyaung Shwe
We visited Red Mountain Estates Vineyards and Winery and ate around Nyaung Shwe.
Inle Lake
Inle Lake, located in western Shan State, is one of Myanmar’s most popular destinations. And with good reason! It has an authentic unspoiled side and it has a side geared to tourism. We got to witness both during our day on the lake. We booked a long tail boat tour for our visit through Mount Inle Lake…
