Hawaii – Welcome to the Islands of Aloha!

November 14, 2011

Have you ever wanted to escape from the chaos of everyday life and retreat to a place so secluded yet exciting you thought it was too good to be true? Well, look no more! Hawaii is the most isolated population on earth – located thousands of miles away from California, Japan and China. Read more

Bula to the Tropical Paradise of Fiji

August 30, 2011

Have you ever wondered about the island where the famous Fiji water comes from? Nicole Kidman and Barack Obama swear by this water, and so do I. If you have never been to Fiji, you can see a snapshot of the country in the water bottle! Fiji is considered an archipelago and is composed of over 300 volcanic islands. Just imagine miles of sandy beaches, palm trees, tall mountains, and coral reefs. Read more

The Royal City of London

July 11, 2011

The royal city of London is a personal favorite of mine and with the recent marriage of Kate Middleton and Prince William, it has captured a lot of buzz. London has a lot of interesting historical sites and since I am a history buff I certainly enjoyed it. Also, just like many Englishmen, I am a huge tea addict. Did you know most Englishmen drink over twenty times more tea than Americans? Read more

Australia: A Visit to the Land Down Under!

March 11, 2011

It seems that Australia is all the buzz right now! Could it be because Oprah recently took 302 of her “Ultimate Viewers” to the land down under to experience everything from snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef to a spiritual ceremony about the Aboriginals of Uluru? Or, could it be because this is simply a destination that’s a true wonder for anyone who visits? Read more

South Africa – Exceeds all Expectations!

January 19, 2011

This blog is especially important to me because it’s always been a life dream of mine to travel to South Africa! I can’t even describe how I long to go on a safari in Kruger National Park and see wild animals roaming freely without a care in the world. Imagine having a beautiful dinner with gourmet cuisine and delicious South African wine under the stars in the middle of the park. Can life get better than that?

Fare Thee Well!

Throughout my tenure as your resident desktop traveler I’ve learned so much about the beautiful destinations available for an affordable vacation and I thank you for giving me your feedback along the way.

Dive Into Fun in Grand Cayman!

April 26, 2010

My latest desktop journey outside the US takes me to the very beautiful Caribbean island of Grand Cayman. But, as you can imagine with the current economic climate, my company sure isn’t sending me anywhere anytime soon, but hey- what else is new? Just because they’re not sending me to a supremely gorgeous beach on the company dime surely doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some down time. Sometimes a little escape is just the trick when you’re feeling gloomy. Read more

Bienvenidos a Miami

March 9, 2010

“Bienvenidos a Miami” or Welcome to Miami as Will Smith says in his über catchy 90’s pop hit is truly appropriate. You get enveloped with an inviting feeling the minute you arrive in this southern Florida hot spot and that feeling helps prepare you for all of the excitement to come. Just two weeks ago I was heading to Key West with my boyfriend, not a virtual exploration, but a real, live trip and I was happy to get out of my cubicle. Leaving behind a huge snowstorm that hit the north east with a vengeance, we gleefully packed carry-ons and departed for sunnier (and much warmer) accommodations. We landed in Miami, rented a car and began our journey down to Key West. And what a lovely drive it was! With the radio blasting and a cool breeze blowing through my hair, 125 miles later we arrived in America’s Caribbean. Read more
