Baltics- May 2024
I love a good Christmas market. I read somewhere that Tallinn, Estonia has one of the best markets, so of course I wanted to go. But lately life keeps getting in my way. My original trip was planned in December, but I ended up having to reschedule it for May. So much for seeing the Christmas markets. Tallinn is small city, that can be walked easily in a few days. It located on the Baltic Sea and…

Christmas Markets 2023
I love Christmas Markets. Not so much for the shopping, but more for the ambience. But the older I get, my tolerance for cold weather is waning. I planned an overly ambitious trip, hitting some of the “best” Christmas markets in Estonia and Finland. For someone who does not like cold weather, why would I even consider going to Finland in December? The original plan was Luxembourg, Brussels,…

Australia- FIFA Women's World Cup July 2023
I can spend hours curating elaborate travel plans and a simple slip on a sidewalk can derail them. I was minding my business walking in a park, missed a step and fell. Resulting in a broken ankle, flare up of arthritis and a blood clot. I had tickets for the FIFA Women’s World Game between England and Haiti. It was the first time Haiti qualified for the World Cup. Being Haitian, I wanted to show…

2020,2021 and 2022
It’s been a while…. I landed in Chicago on March 13, 2020. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine what the next 13 months would look like. I learned to love my home in Chicago, which I was very lucky to have. When the world started to reopen and it was time to travel again, I surprised myself. All that time at home taught me I LOVE being comfortable. Not just elastic waist pants…

Seychelles-February 2020
I once read an article about giant tortoises. They only exists in 2 archipelagos, the Galapagos and Seychelles. Neither location are easy to get to. When I was researching beach locations from South Africa, I found a direct flight from Johannesburg to Mahe. Finally, I get to see the tortoises.
I am not sure what my problem was but as soon as I arrived, I was ready to leave. Immigration was a…

Cape Town, South Africa February 2020
After an unexpected train delay, I finally arrived in Cape Town a day late. Since this was not my first time visiting, I was not worried as I done all the major tourist sites before. I was not expecting it to have changed so much. I am bit sad, as I was not feeling so great so I ended wasting some of my short time just sitting in my hotel room.
Funny how the first time I visited Cape Town,…

Rovos Rail, South Africa, February 2020
Sometimes when I “pretending” to work, I am really looking at travel blogs and dreaming about trips I want to take. One day I booked flights to South Africa, without plans as to what I was going to do while I was there. As much as I love safari, I was not about to do one alone again. Somehow I came across the Rovos Rail and well….
I booked 3 day trip from Pretoria down to Cape Town on the…

Australia Day, Sydney January 2020
Australia Day, Sydney January 2020
The American’s celebrate July 4th as our national holiday, Australian’s celebrate January 26th as their national holiday. The date is in commemoration of the arrival of the British and eleven boats of convicts. I am not going to get into the politics but if you want to read more about the history Australia Day check out this website.
With it being a long weekend, I popped down to Sydney to…

Fiji- December 2019
Back in January, I went to Fiji for a few days as I had a hole in my travels and it seemed like a good idea. Turned out it was the best idea ever, as Chicago was getting hit was a blizzard and I was enjoying blue skies!
I returned to the same place I stayed in January, Marriott Momi Bay, mainly because it there was just something so relaxing about it. Whoever designed this resort, really did a…

London, December 2019
After a quick trip to Australia and New Zealand, next stop London. Only Flo would head home from New Zealand, via London. It was an opportunity to catch up with a few friends, so it was easy enough decision.
There were a lot of laughs, good food and liquor..what more could I ask for?
Katy flew down from Edinburgh. It’s been a while since we had an Adventure of Katy and Flo story. We met…

Christchurch, New Zealand November 2019
The most I ever knew of Christchurch was that it had serious of events that made me spectual to visit. Funny comment, considering I go to London all the time……
Interesting fact, Christchurch has thousands of earthquakes on a yearly basis. But only a few hundred are actually felt and normally do not cause much damage. Back in 2010 and 2011, they has a series of earthquakes that leveled several…

Israel- July 2019
Every year I like to travel for my birthday. This year I choose to spend my birthday in Jerusalem.
I got a little too excited to find free tickets and accommodations, that I did not realize it would quite warm. No scratch that, HOT. I based myself in Tel Aviv and arranged to take day trips to some of the nearby sites.
First thoughts of Tel Aviv, was how it’s a beautiful city on the sea.…

Sydney, Australia-May 2019
Surprise, I found myself back in Australia. What can I say, it’s my happy place! Plus it was an easy decision when I found out Jenny and John were also going to be in Sydney. After I booked, I mentioned it to Jane, their daughter, and she booked flights to come over as well.
Jane managed to surprise her parents which is always good fun! We booked for a lovely dinner at Hubert’s, with…

New York,NY- May 2019
New York is such a great city to play tourist. Even when you’ve see the ” major” sites, there are still a million different places to explore.
My friend, Phoebe, was over from Australia doing an internship for 4 months, so I popped over to say Hello. The theme of this visit to New York with Food, with a side of family and Hamilton. I would stop reading now, if you are hungry because this is a…

Osaka, Japan-April 2019
After 6 weeks on the ground, I was super excited to get my jet fuel fix. Jenny and John were traveling around Asia and I mentioned that it was direct flight from Chicago to Japan. I should have clarified, it’s a direct flight to Tokyo, not Osaka. Oops. Oh well what’s a connection? What with low fares and free upgrades, why not!
My last trip to Japan was a disaster. Friends keep telling me…
