I’ve heard a lot of great things about Austin so I was really pleased when a friend organized a trip there for three of us. We rented out an apartment on www.vrbo.com close to 10th street for three nights. I was able to book return bus tickets from Dallas to Austin on www.megabus.com for a mere $4.50. Before we got there, we had recommendations […]

I love New York. I have been many times and I consider it my spiritual home! There are just so many things going on, all the time. The article below was written before COVID19 hit. I have been back since (October 2022 most recently) and I’m glad to report things felt like they were back to ‘normal’. There is always […]
I love Spain and decided to join the Vaughan Town program for the third time in my life. This time I went to Aranjuez, about an hour away from Madrid.

It was on my mind to take my mom to see the Alhambra one day – having seen an offer on flights to Malaga on Ryanair I decided to book it in. Fortunately I had been to Granada before, which gave me the confidence to co-ordinate the trip.

I do remember that I enjoyed it very much, so I was happy to join a couple of friends for a 5-night trip. Sunday Flights were a mere £40 return from London Gatwick by Ryanair. We took a […]
When I lived in London, it was easy to visit various countries in Europe – especially pre-Brexit! I haven’t tried it since then. I didn’t know much about Germany when I decided to visit, at my friend’s suggestion. The highlight of this trip was learning about Berlin’s history through the walking tour and going on a boat tour. I hadn’t […]
I went to Amsterdam a number of years ago and I always intended to go back. I was glad when the opportunity came up to go again with a few friends. It was quite simple to get into the city from Amsterdam airport. We took a €6 train into Centraal, then took a taxi to our accommodation, which cost about […]
