Mycenae and it’s Cyclopian walls
Mycenae, the 4000 year old Bronze Age city would have been a site to behold in it’s day. With it’s Lion Gate that is still visible upon entry into the great walls and the massive stones that make up it’s fortification, it would have been a difficult city to breach. The city is flanked on […]
Rosetti’s and the Pre Raphaelites at the Tate Gallery
One of the many delights of London are it’s museums. There are so many to choose from with artifacts, paintings, sculpture from all over the world and the UK. Most of them are free to enter and the only real cost is if you were to see a special exhibition. I always plan on visiting […]
I’m Gluten Free & Dairy Free, so how hard is it to travel with these restrictions?
If you’re one of those lucky people that can eat anything you want with no repercussions, I’m happy for you. I really am. You experience the world in a way I wish I could, but ultimately, I can’t eat anything I want, so I prepare. Many people may think you can’t have an amazing trip […]
The Skivvy on Airport Lounges
I’m a huge fan of Airport Lounges, however they’re not all the same and it’s important to do some research beforehand to pick the best suited to your needs and desires. I can say that they all are infinitely better than sitting sardined amongst the throng of people in the general waiting areas of the […]
London, The Lady of Shallot and a lifetime connection
I love this city. I honestly don’t know how to sum it up or down in words exactly why. I love the electricity, the collection of cultures, the happiness that seems to emanate all around. I love the parks, museums, the food, the history, the tube and that my earliest memories are of traveling here. […]
Flying Business/First Class is a gift to yourself
So this is my third time flying Business/First class and I don’t plan on going back to economy, ever, if I can help it. I had to fly economy when my BA flight cancelled prior to my trip without any notice or alert. I just happened to be checking my AA app, as I do […]
Napflio and the Fortress of Palamidi
As we traveled along east from Olympia, it started to downpour. It was as if Zeus decided it was time to make himself known. There were loud crashes of thunder and the rain pelted the bus almost the entire two hours it took to get to our destination of Napflio. Upon arriving to this beautiful […]
Olympia and the thrill of the Games
Driving further into the southwestern inland of Greece, through many groves of olive trees, you will come upon the town of Olympia. I think there are few peoples in this world that do not know the word “olympic” and from whence it came. This was the very first location of the very first Olympic Games […]
Delphi and the Oracle
The mythology of Delphi is that the Greek God Zeus let two eagles loose and they both flew back to this very spot. It was then decided that this was the center of the world. As acknowledged holy ground, people would come from near and far to visit this sacred spot to find long sought […]
Athens, Athena and the Acropolis
Today is the day to scale the hill that houses the famous Acropolis. All of my art history from college is flooding into my brain as I make my way up the hill, the buildings are peering over the top to watch my ascent. It’s a beautiful thing to open up the pages of history […]
