Vermont – Ski season 

We decided to take the kids for a winter break to try out skiing for them and snowboarding for us. This is what the 25 Th in Manchester , Vt looked like.   It was 65 degrees. We went to the playground !  Luckily we have snow covered peaks now. Will post a picture later.Continue reading “Vermont – Ski season “

Day 5: La Samana

Day 4: was started off by us rushing for breakfast. One of the joys of vacation is not putting an alarm , though sleepy heads like us can really sleep 10 hours straight! We made it ( barely) and then I went for a site inspection. The villas here surpass any villa hotel properties thatContinue reading “Day 5: La Samana”

Eden Rock St. Barth- Day 1 of 5

St. Barths- info: A luxuriant villa and an immaculate beach. Leisurely dinners alongside movie stars and supermodels. A vacation could be worse. But wanting a vacation on St. Barthelemy and having one are different things. This island’s beauty, luxury and exclusive company come with a steep price tag. And should you have what it takesContinue reading “Eden Rock St. Barth- Day 1 of 5”

My bucket list of places one MUST visit!

Argentina- Mendoza: South America’s napa Valley The old colonial section of Mendoza, Argentina, was destroyed by fire and earthquake in 1861, so there’s not much that’s unique to see in this city 610 mi/980 km northwest of Buenos Aires. It is, however, a bustling place with leafy boulevards and a wonderful climate, thanks to itsContinue reading “My bucket list of places one MUST visit!”
