Conrad Hotel, Tokyo, Japan

I’ve stayed across from the Conrad Hilton the last 8 out of 10 trips to Tokyo. I’ve watched their guests swim in their lap pool from across the chasm separating my room from their property, and I’ve always wondered if I should splurge the extra cash to stay there… but I’ve never done so. In […]

Top of the Block, Burlington, VT USA

Burlington – how lucky we were to be visiting in mid June. Quiet, quaint, and quintessential New England. I loved it here. A breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively.
