Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort, Bagan, Myanmar

Honestly, I wasn’t too hungry. And it was impossible to imagine being more relaxed than I was. But the scene just begged for a club sandwich. (Side Note: please see my previous club sandwich at The Strand Hotel in Yangon, prior to arriving in Bagan. 8 flights in 7 days…) We had time to visit […]

101 Hotel, Reykjavik, Iceland

Why Iceland? Rachel and I only had one weekend during the first 6 months of 2014 to go away together. Our original thought was to travel to “The South” in America.

I had never dined at Henrietta’s Table, but had heard fantastic reviews. My only excuse was that I went to high-school in Cambridge and after graduating, tended to avoid the Harvard Square […]

Aura, The Seaport Hotel, Boston, MA USA

I got the email halfway through breakfast: “Would you like to join Jim and Marianna for lunch at Aura?” I knew we had a 1pm meeting, but my plan was to eat my big breakfast laid out before me and have lunch after we met, so this curveball threw me for a loop. Then I […]
