An Amazing Breakfast in Sydney | The Fine Food Store

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia, Destinations, Dining

Sometimes all you want is a really good cup of coffee. If I’ve learned anything lately, I’ve learned that some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life has been the coffee of Australia and New Zealand. Before heading out on our 12-night cruise on the Celebrity Solstice out of Sydney, we braved… Read More

Running Across Sydney Harbour Bridge | Sydney, Australia

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia, Destinations

On a bright and sunny day in Sydney, I decided to go for a run and take in the view from Sydney Harbour Bridge.  Just kidding!  As you can see, it was cold, grey, and gloomy, but I wasn’t about to let that stop me from grabbing my camera and going for a run. Most… Read More

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Pancakes on the Rocks | Sydney, Australia

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia, Dining
Pancakes on the Rocks

Perhaps Sydney isn’t known for its pancakes, but does it matter? When you’re hungry, sometimes you’ll go to crazy lengths for a proper meal. On this particular day in Sydney, we headed straight for Pancakes on the Rocks after a morning run. As you can tell from the name, the restaurant is located in The Rocks in… Read More

Walking Around Sydney, Australia | The Rocks

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia, Destinations
The Rocks

On my previous trip to Sydney, I didn’t get a chance to walk The Rocks, a tourist precinct and historic area located on the southern shore of Sydney Harbour.  Since my hotel was nearby, it seemed natural to venture out to The Rocks on my first afternoon in Sydney. Löwenbräu Keller On this gorgeous day… Read More

Sydney Harbour Bridge in Pictures and Poetry

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia, Destinations

After 9 years of construction, Sydney Harbour Bridge, aka the “coat hanger,” was opened and inaugurated on March 19, 1932, 83 years ago to span the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore.  Since that time, scores of people have crossed it and made their way under it as well.  This iconic structure… Read More

Pier One Sydney Harbour | A Sydney Hotel Review

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia, Hotels/Resorts

After flying 21 hours from Boston to Sydney and covering more than 10,000 miles in the air, when I arrived in Sydney I only had one thing on my mind and that was getting to my hotel.  I wanted (needed?) a shower, clean clothes, and food.  With bags in tow, I headed directly to my… Read More

Arriving Into Sydney | SmartGate, AirportLink, and Sun

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia, Destinations

To say I was ecstatic to return to Sydney would be an understatement.  The day I left Boston we were expecting a huge snowstorm and little did I know that this winter would be the worst winter yet.  But in Sydney it was summer and I was looking forward to the hot sun on my… Read More

Reaching New Heights While In Australia | BridgeClimb Sydney

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia
BridgeClimb Sydney

When we travel, we get to experience life outside of our comfort zone. This forces us to view life from someone else’s point of view. You can’t see things more differently than from 134m (440 feet) above Sydney Harbour from the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge like I did during my bridge climb with BridgeClimb Sydney.… Read More

Embarkation Day on the Celebrity Solstice | Sydney, Australia

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia, Celebrity Cruise, Cruises

Embarkation day for any cruise is an exciting day, but it was especially exciting sailing out of Sydney.  I couldn’t get enough of the scenery, the warm weather, and the amazing people.  If you haven’t cruised before or if you haven’t sailed out of Sydney, here’s what you can expect. After checking in at Overseas… Read More

Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT) | Sailing Out of Sydney on Celebrity Solstice

by Marian Krueger, in category Australia, Celebrity Cruise, Cruises

Although it was Fall back in New England, on this bright and sunny Spring day in October in Australia.  We were in Sydney because we were sailing on the Celebrity Solstice out of Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT) for a South Pacific and Fiji cruise. Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT), from where the Celebrity Solstice departs, was only a few minutes walk… Read More

#TRAVEL THOUGHTS: On yet another day where I can’t travel like most of you, I’m dreaming of my trip to Vietnam in August of 2019. I had such a great visit and I so miss the colors, the food, and of course, the people. What city are you reminiscing about today?

#TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: 2020 hasn’t been everyone #TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: 2020 hasn’t been everyone’s favorite year, but regardless we need to vote to have our voices heard. I felt like I was back in school reading through the huge booklets Los Angeles sends out voters, but it’s my responsibility to understand what I am voting for in this election. So many propositions and millions of dollars spent to get voters to vote a certain way. Thank God I didn’t rely on the commercials to vote because the ones with the most money shouldn’t be the ones to win. Make your voice heard and vote because every vote does count. I’m still optimistic that the political system can work and that our country can move forward. Did you vote today or are you going in person on Election Day?

Today was the first day where I could see and smell it. Smells like a campfire and the sky is just weird looking. Here’s to hoping they get it all under control soon and that everyone can be safe. And I can see sun and some blue sky again! 🌞

#TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: If you know me or follow me #TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: If you know me or follow me, you’ve probably noticed that I went from traveling and posting often to pretty much barely anything for the past two years. I’ve experienced some twists and turns on this journey we call life and that’s taken me away from what I’ve loved: My website and my love of travel. Today I am officially divorced after two years of legal procedures. I will have more on my site as I get it up and going again but first this. The long cross country drive I just took? Yeah that’s because I decided to pack up and move to Los Angeles. Got here on the 1st, promptly got a cold the next day and oh yeah - don’t know where my movers are yet with my stuff.
.
So if you’re feeling down, know that life is constantly changing and evolving. Choose wisely and you’ll be rewarded. Nothing is better than warm weather, water, and sand. (Don’t panic - I didn’t go to the #beach but this is what I’ve always thought of when I’ve thought of California.

#TRAVEL THOUGHTS: What happens when you visit Las #TRAVEL THOUGHTS: What happens when you visit Las Vegas? Do you go where you’ve already been or do you go somewhere new? I’m all for trying new things and you can imagine my surprise when I found a Jollibee here. It was inside a Seafood City, which I would never have visited as I don’t eat seafood. But Seafood City is actually a rather large Filipino market that transported me from the desert of Nevada straight back to the Philippines. They have everything and then some as well as a Red Ribbon bakery, Chow King, and of course Jollibee.how can you resist the Jollibee bee’s face?
