Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, Mauritius

Usually if a club sandwich is this bad, they don’t serve it. But in Mauritius, they plate it with pride. There was only one restaurant at the departure gates in the newly renovated Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. After a 30 minute wait while they verified our paper tickets (the first paper tickets for a […]

St. Regis Mauritius Resort, Le Morne, Mauritius

The pinnacle of perfection. I expected nothing but the best. Mauritius – it’s one of those destinations you hear about but never actually visit… at least for most Americans. 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) […]

Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort, Bagan, Myanmar

The Strand Hotel, Yangon, Myanmar

Business trip to Myanmar… It sounded unconventional. And it wasn’t originally meant to be, but Rachel’s conference got moved from Bangkok to Yangon due to “political unrest” in Thailand. I wasn’t originally meant to go with her, but upon learning of her changed plans, and having never been to Myanmar, there was no chance I […]
