Adjusting to the time difference from Boston to Berlin plus jet lag eventually caught up with us. Somehow, we woke up later than we ever would at home because we were oblivious as to what time it was in Berlin. Regardless of what time it was or how we felt, we finally made it out… Read More
The Reichstag Nothing, including the overcast Berlin sky, was going to deter us from walking all over Berlin. While we were walking from the Brandenburg Gate over to the Reichstag, we were able to see the dome upon our approach. Thought I would start this post off with a picture showing the contrast between old… Read More
The Reichstag Facing the cold weather, we persevered and headed directly to the Reichstag after walking past the Brandenburg Gate. It wasn’t snowing or even windy, but it was bone chilling cold out. I was so glad that I packed lightweight liners to wear under my clothes plus my gloves and scarf. Why did we… Read More
Walking up to the Reichstag Lucky! Yes, that’s what we are! Rich has a good friend who is from Berlin and she was kind enough to give us incredibly detailed information on all of the best places to go to while we were in Berlin. One place she suggested we visit was The Reichstag. Love… Read More

After breakfast at our hotel, CenterHotel Þingholt, we prepared ourselves for our trip to the Blue Lagoon. After my last trip to Iceland in 2012, I was lucky enough to combine my airport transfer along with the Blue Lagoon, which resulted in an extremely relaxed plane ride back to the States. My experience this time… Read More
We finally made it to Reykjavik and I was so excited to spend a fun filled 24 hours in Iceland to show my husband a little of why I love this country so much. Keflavik International Airport is a little bit of a maze so after departing your plane, you walk down a long hallway that… Read More

Did you know that a flight from Boston to Reykjavik, Iceland is only about 4 1/2 – 5 hours? That’s right! Do you know what makes that flight even better? Flying Business… Read More
