In a nutshell, Aura is a luminous experience taking place inside the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal. Above all, the light show is sure to captivate and dazzle anyone attending. It’s an extravaganza of lights and orchestra music projected onto one of the most heavenly canvases, the Notre-Dame Basilica.
Throughout my husband’s career as an executive in the technology field, he had a chance to travel all over the world. Be it to see customers, open (or close) factories, or just participate in conferences and trade shows. Unfortunately, many of the times he traveled for business he neglected to take a little extra time […]
With Florida nestled in-between the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, it’s practically impossible not to be near a basin of water: big or small, salty or fresh. The first thing that comes to mind is lounging on the beach. However, when it comes to water activities there […]
The last thing on our mind when we travel is seeking medical care while traveling. Nobody wants to miss out on a vacation or trade a sightseeing opportunity for a trip to the emergency. Sadly, sometimes it may be necessary. We may ask ourselves: Where to go; how to pay; what does my insurance cover; […]
From Cairo to Abu Simbel to the Red Sea, the wonders of Egypt have fascinated visitors for centuries and continue to do so. This is where history comes alive with some of the best vestiges in the world. The Pyramids, the Great Sphinx of Giza, the world’s oldest pyramid at Saqqara, the Valley of the […]
At 4.5 hrs from Miami, St. Augustine would be considered too long of a drive for a day trip, but it’s definitely something that could be done with a one or two night stay. A good weekend escape or long weekend adventure. In our case, we had an expiring voucher for a free hotel night […]
Being creatures of habit, we tend to always return to the same entrance gate to visit the Everglades National Park. Not this time; on our most recent trip to the park we followed our friend’s advice (Thanks Stu!) and went further south to the Ernest F. Coe entrance. We liked what we saw! The area […]
We go on vacation to unwind, relax and have a good time; we’ve worked hard for those precious vacation days. They are well deserved, so we shouldn’t have to worry about our home while away. However, sometimes all hell breaks loose and disaster happens. There’s nothing more unpleasant than to come back from vacation and […]
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of travel articles and special offers for Greece and I started reminiscing about the Greek Island cruise we did a while back. Even though it’s been a few years, the memories of how the whitewashed buildings popped out against the backdrop of a bright azure sky and the deep […]
The Greek capital has a lot to offer its visitors. It’s a buzzing city with an exciting nightlife, all sorts of delicious foods to try, and some of the most important vestiges in the world. It’s a city with a long rich history dating back more than 3500 years. Remnants of another time are scattered […]
