I arrived to the shores of Stockholm by sea. As our ship came up to the river city, the golden spires thrust up through the belly of the fog. I could hear Stockholm long before I saw her. Bells tumbled over one another and the lap of the sea along the pier called to me.
Exploring Monte Carlo on any budget
I’m inside the Saint Nicholas Cathedral of Monte Carlo, in Monaco. It is a cavernous church with tall, white stone walls, arches, and pillars. Gold-plated murals line the domed ceiling.

Knocking off Bucket-List items in the Windy City
As professional travelers, we are frequently asked, “What’s your favorite destination?” Of course, we find it impossible to answer that question. Every place we visit becomes a part of us in its own special way. It’s like asking me to chose between wine and bacon, or asking Sandi to choose between coffee and cookies. The question is simply too broad.

New York City is a magical city for the cocktail enthusiast. There are bars of every theme, color and smell in this great metropolis. The only challenge: Finding them.
