Friday’s Photo Session: Sights and Tastes of Lake Bled, Slovenia
To be honest, I had never thought about visiting Slovenia, but when a travel conference came up in Lake Bled this summer, we jumped at the chance to visit one of the few countries in Europe that combines the Alps with the Mediterranean coastline. A beautiful country that is perfectly positioned for those who want…
The Best Thing About Travel Is… Trying New Foods
I absolutely love trying new foods, and while I definitely wouldn’t eat anything that was still alive (grubs) or something I believe to be cruel (shark fin soup), I will pretty much try anything on the menu when I visit a foreign land – after all, isn’t that part of the fun! On my travels…

2012 seems to be our year for uncovering Italy, and after a brief visit to Sardinia last month, we decided we had to return as soon as possible, and have just arrived home from a wonderful break in Sicily. The largest island in the Mediterranean and one that is steeped in history, architecture, language, and…
