When we visited Lisbon in 2019 we enjoyed a great tour of the city…as described in a blog post from that time. The beauty of that post, is that I was able to revisit that tour and decide what parts of this charming city we’d like to see again and choose new areas to explore....

Lisbon…where to begin? Probably best at the beginning. Here we are – Sunday morning and this is my first opportunity to update the blog.

This wonderful indoor/outdoor market space is open seven days a week. We tried three times to practice our selfie skills with the colorful...

July22, 2022 Among the many joys of traveling with Timmy are long relaxed breakfasts. These breakfasts here at the Ritz Carlton have been an absolute joy. Watching the ducks and fellow guests, chatting with our servers and enjoying cappuccino and fresh berries are the perfect way to start our day. I’m grateful that I no...

Over the years, we have celebrated our anniversary with family, with old friends, with new friends and just the two of us. This year we enjoyed an absolutely wonderful evening at Milos Restaurant. There are so, so many excellent restaurants in Montreal, and we had numerous recommendations from folks we know, the Ritz’s concierges, and...
