More Benelux Travels
It is so awesome to be able to travel between countries with no stops at borders. The only indication you've left one country and entered another one these days in the European Union is when the carrier on your mobile phone changes! The public transportation system works extremely well - you never have to wait very long for either buses or trains. Today's highlight was a visit to the picturesque town of Vianden. Cobblestone streets wind their … [Read more...]
More fun in Luxembourg!
Did you know southern California born General George S. Patton is buried just outside of Luxembourg City at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial in Hamm. He is the most famous American buried in Luxembourg! This is well worth the short drive from Luxembourg City - hundreds of white marble crosses mark each grave. Patton's grave is marked the same way, yet his grave is solitary "at the head of the troops" in front of all the other … [Read more...]
Luxembourg
What an amazing day, from racing through the rural Luxembourg hillsides up hills at 240 km/hour in a new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S to gorging on local Sauerkraut and Wienershnitzel at the Schueberfouer fun fair held every year since 1340, (670 years and counting - I've scheduled a return in 30 years for the 700th one). We visited Moselle, Luxembourg's largest wine region. The focus here is on white varietals with some Pinot Noir thrown in for … [Read more...]
Greetings from Luxembourg City
We came out of the sky in Frankfurt after a very choppy flight from San Francisco. Our landing even incorporated a nifty swerve at the last minute which produced a collective oooh and ahh from many of the tired passengers. I had planned on taking a bus from the airport to Luxembourg City however upon landing I discovered Hahn airport (as listed on my bus printout) was not Frankfurt airport. Running to secure a bus I bumped into a number of locals … [Read more...]

Molton Brown Handwash
During a visit to the 100 million dollar Kenzo Estate in Napa, (one of Napa's newest wineries and most expensive and a cool experience in an of itself) we discovered Moulton Brown in their bathroom.

This is high end hand wash from London (Naran Ji); it sells for $25/bottle - lovely aromatics. Details? www.moltonbrown.com … [Read more...]

More Quotes
Every once in a while during my Internet browsing I stumble upon favorite quotes or short clips. These two clips reference "perspective" and "fear" the latter of which is often buried by the former after one has built up their "travel resume". This first quote comes from Alexandra Vasiliu of Watermelon Nomads in describing her thoughts on travel experiences as well her travel website. I believe now that the richness of a travel experience is … [Read more...]
