Back to Bermuda....

We (collectively) were able to spend 6 lovely nights in Bermuda this past July. It really is the perfect place to have some rum (or in my case, sip on some wine!), unwind and relax in a beautiful setting for a few days. We stayed in St. George’s this time around and I am very happy we did so. The south shore beaches are absolutely beautiful but the quaint, historic charm of St. George’s always brings us back there.

Woah, I'm going to Barbados

So, Barbados was pretty awesome. 

Beautiful beaches, cheep beer/rum, relaxation, friendly people, easy and cheap public transportation...what more could you ask for?  I definitely hope to go back one day.  I was a little worried about traveling with a same sex couple, but we didn't have any problems at all. Everyone seemed to be super accepting (of course, we are tourists and they want our money) but it was a beautiful country and a great trip (especially because we got "stuck" in paradise one extra day - thanks mother nature!).

Until my next trip, I will have to live vicariously through these pictures.

So I'll be sailing on out into Bermuda blue

I was lucky enough to spend another 4 days in Bermuda this month. As lovely as the island appears in these pictures, they truly don't it justice. It's just as much about the experience as it is the beauty. It truly is the closest to paradise I

have gotten so far.  

On our way down to the bus stop. Destination: Horseshoe Bay

The bus was taking its sweet time on this particular day.

Horseshoe Bay Beach, Southampton. How much more gorgeous can you get?

I was lucky enough to spend a decent amount of time in the great city of Montréal this year. I just got back from a great 3 night stay and also spent a few days there this past April and September. I know I should be loyal to NYC, but there is just something about Montréal that keeps making me want to go back. 

Vieux Montréal

In April we stayed at an apartment we found through Airbnb. It came with a cat and her name was “Red”. She was sweet, classy and very French.  Le Meow.

Montréal Botanical Gardens

Is there any explantion as to why Robert Smith is there?
