It’s a rainy day in Munich. Our plans to go to Dachau concentration camp were squashed due to excessive downpours. We decided to go to the Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism, which documents the rise of the National Socialist Party. However on our way there, it started pouring and we duckedContinue reading “Antiquities and Modern Times in Munich”

Our Trip To Munich
Yesterday we left Frankfurt and took the train to Munich. It was a little over three hours but relaxing and I fell asleep at times. Our hotel, NH Collection Munich Bavaria, was directly across from the train station which was very convenient. Although we booked this with my American Express, it was the hotel collectionContinue reading “Our Trip To Munich”
Our Last Day In Frankfurt
We are winding down our visit to Frankfurt with a late breakfast after sleeping until 9:30. It’s been a great hotel to stay at, with a nice breakfast and so close to everything. We decided to go to the Jewish Museum today. It was fascinating. It is housed in the Rothschild Palace. The Rothschild familyContinue reading “Our Last Day In Frankfurt”
A Trip To Heidelberg
Today we decided to brave the train station and head to Heidelberg. Although we hustled to catch our train, we missed it anyway. It changed tracks without our knowing. Some nice lady at the ticket booth helped us with our tickets and we were on our way. When we arrived in Heidelberg we had toContinue reading “A Trip To Heidelberg”
Hit with a Sledgehammer
We had such a busy day yesterday for our first day in Frankfurt. We walked about 5 miles and slept about 4 hours. What we didn’t expect was to feel the jet lag on day two. We struggled to wake up but finally got up and went to breakfast at 10 am. All I reallyContinue reading “Hit with a Sledgehammer”
We Arrived in Frankfurt
Even with the lie-flat beds in Business class on Lufthansa, we still weren’t able to get more than an hour’s shuteye. We arrived in Frankfurt at 7 am with a long haul to border patrol and baggage. At times like this, I wish we had asked for wheelchairs. We took our time and made itContinue reading “We Arrived in Frankfurt”
Lounges and Business Class
Travel day is always a little rushed and a bit nerve-racking. We don’t want to forget important stuff like our passports, money, device chargers, and cellphones. I have our entire trip including flights, hotels, and booked excursions on Tripit. It’s a great little app that keeps me organized. Going through security at PBI or DJT,Continue reading “Lounges and Business Class”
Getting Ready for a Three Week Vacation In Europe
When you’re traveling for three weeks and getting on trains, it’s important not to overload the luggage. For my husband’s and my trip, we are packing a large suitcase to be checked and a carry-on. In addition, my husband has a backpack and I have a bag that attaches to the wheeled carry-on. I useContinue reading “Getting Ready for a Three Week Vacation In Europe”
A walk in our wetlands
I live in Delray Beach, a small, quiet seaside town with phenomenal restaurants, a fun and friendly atmosphere, and beautiful beaches. But a few miles west of the beach, the Wakodahatchee Wetlands is a sanctuary for birds, alligators, and iguanas. There’s a lovely boardwalk to stroll through the wetlands and keep you safe from someContinue reading “A walk in our wetlands”
Our Visit to Roatan
Today we woke to lush scenery from our balcony. The last time we were in Roatan, I fractured my thumb. Ouch. It left me feeling mildly nauseous so we didn’t venture further than the port. Today we hired M&J Tours with our driver, Kurt. He has only been working as a tour guide for aContinue reading “Our Visit to Roatan”
