Ammatoli: A Taste of the Levant in California
When I travel, whether for work or personal, I like to find really good food. I unexpectedly stumbled on an amazing restaurant in Long Beach, CA, offering the best Levantine cuisine I have eaten outside the Middle East.

Jamaican Birthday Celebrations
The remainder of the week went as planned, lots of reading and relaxing. We managed to spend a week in Jamaica with minimal sun burn (only the top of my feet burnt where my sandals rubbed off the sunscreen) and a couple of gorgeous sunrises to remember our time there. We had private transfer back…

Jamaican Birthday Celebrations – Day 2
Interesting start to the day, there is no running water on the property so no shower, hand washing, or flushing toilets. I went down to the front desk to learn that a water main had been damaged and the entire property was without water. We decided to go get breakfast and head to down to…

Birthday Celebrations in Jamaica
Just like that we are off on our next adventure! R is turning 40 this week and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate this milestone birthday than taking a trip together! I actually gave R the option of having a party with family and friends or taking a trip to celebrate his…

Exploring my favorite city, London!
It’s always a good day when you wake up in London! The Caledonain Sleeper Train arrived at London Euston and we collected our luggage and disembarked. Our hotel is in Covent Garden so we opted to take a taxi from the station as we knew our luggage would comfortably fit. It was a short 15…

What began for charitable purposes has grown into the castle welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. It is interesting to think of that many people crowding…

Talisker Distillery
We had lunch the most lovely little place called The Hungry Gull in Staffin. Staffin is about a 15 minute drive north of Old Man of Storr; exit the Old Man of Storr car park and take a left. Be sure to check the hours in advance because there may be limited hours during the…

Old Man of Storr
We started the morning with breakfast at the AirBnB and killed a little time hoping the weather might clear up a bit. It is Scotland and it rains here … a lot. But that’s what waterproof shoes and rain gear are for! Rain or shine, we are taking in the Old Man of Storr today.…

Scenic Driving to Isle of Skye
We are departing Inverness to spend the next couple days in Isle of Skye and have booked an AirBnB in Portree. Portree is just under a three hour drive from Inverness and it is a lot of winding roads so beware for anyone who gets carsick. We decided to make a couple stops to help…
