Hotel Bristol, Vienna, Austria

We had planned this trip 6 months prior, but it only truly came together in the days leading up to it.

The Street Bar, The Newbury Boston, Boston, MA USA

Banyan Tree Mayakoba, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Our first vacation without the kids – and how lucky were we not to have to organize a single aspect of it, besides booking our plane flights; we were off to Mayakoba, a destination just south of Cancun in Quintana Roo, Mexico, for our friend’s 40th birthday, and he was the tour organizer. To say […]
