Four Points by Sheraton Midtown, New York City, NY USA

Train in, train out… the title of most of my NYC business trips. Fortunately, this one had me staying the night (due to an excursion to Oyster Bay for meetings) in the centrally located Four Points by Sheraton Midtown Manhattan.

Our sights were set on this island country for nearly a year as we researched beach destinations for our honeymoon. We actually chose Paris (previous destination) […]

Prince de Galles, Paris, France

As I mentioned in my previous post, Paris is a city full of incredible dining. After a fabulous meal at Septime, Rachel and I ended up at a hookah bar, followed by a late-night lounge (bar + restaurant + club, so the sign said) complete with DJ. It was all on a walking street near […]
