One of the thrills of travel is finding and appreciating unexpected moments. I’ve seen some incredible street performers around the world. But, wow. This gentlemen was mesmerizing. Bravo!

There are so many fabulous musicals and plays to attend in London. Usually there is much better availability and pricing than going to NYC.
Last year, Aladdin was incredible at the Prince Edward Theater and we thought for sure it couldn’t be topped. This year, Mary Poppins is playing at the theater and the cast was fabulously talented, stage sets were detailed and bright, and the audience was completely engaged for the entire performance!

Changing of the Guards - Part 6 (Wellington Barracks)
The last portion of the pomp and circumstance happens at Wellington Barracks when the new guard and band will be coming out to replace the old guard that has just left St James Palace. Each guard is on duty for 48 hours. Therefore, the changing of the guards ceremonies only happens every other day - Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday August through May. During June and July, changing of the guard occurs daily.

Changing of the Guards - Part 5 (Buckingham Palace Chaos)
Crowds for changing of the guard will vary depending on the time of the year. Because it’s February half-term in Europe, there is definitely a crowd. Easter and Christmas are the most popular and busiest times to be here. Locals never recommend viewing the festivities from the Buckingham Palace area because of the amount of people.

Changing of the Guards - Part 4 (Horse Guards)

Changing of the Guard - Part 3 (Leaving St James Palace, walking up The Mall to Buckingham Palace)
Anyone else play in the marching band growing up? These musicians are so incredibly talented and playing this caliber of music in 35 degree weather is no easy task. As you can see in the video, everyone tends to march alongside the band because they move pretty quickly. Try not to get lost, lose your children or trip on the many bumps on the sidewalk.
Quick tidbit...If you don’t want to stand out as a tourist, it is not pronounced “mall” road as in shopping mall in the states. I’m not sure where they got the pronunciation from, but it’s tricky. 😉

Changing of the Guard - Part 2 (St James Palace - the music)
Absolutely incredible performance by the band! Again, they play with their backs toward the public as they are playing for the soldiers in front of them.

Changing of the Guard - Part 1 (St James Palace)
The changing of the guard ceremonies in London is absolutely a must-see for anyone visiting London. The pomp & circumstance and tradition is unlike anywhere else in the world. Until you get here, you don’t realize how many different things are happening simultaneously. Unless you have a plan and know where to go, you’ll miss all of the good stuff.
At St. James Palace, the ceremony begins with the preparation for uniform inspection. Because today is Prince Andrew’s birthday, the drum major is dressed in gold in celebration. The locals weren’t sure if he would be dressed based on the scandal surrounded Prince Andrew in recent weeks.

The Natural History Museum in London is one of the most fascinating and interactive museums in the world. With galleries for dinosaurs, fish/amphibians/reptiles, human biology, mammals, wildlife garden, birds, minerals, gemstones, the Darwin Centre, earths treasury, volcanoes and earthquakes including a simulation platform where you can feel an earthquake and more, you can imagine that you could spend a full day here and still not see everything.
One note to love about London is that museums are free to the public.

There is nothing more rewarding than finding unique experiences that I can present to clients. Falconries in England that offer hawk and owl encounters are a fascinating way to spend an afternoon for people of all ages!

There are so many benefits of traveling to Europe in the off season. Lower crowds are definitely number one. It also helps to get to main attractions when they open to avoid the coach tours and buses. Stonehenge was incredibly serene and beautiful with only a few other visitors around.

Clients often ask, “How do you narrow down what destination you’re going to visit next since there are so many incredible places to choose from?”
I often mention that a great airfare deal is great incentive and great start! Personally, I would much rather invest my vacation dollars into great experiences, hotels, and restaurants than on airfare.
For the last few weeks, there have been great airfare deals to tempt travelers. Right now, Boston to Barcelona fares are showing up with fares under $300 round trip Jan to May and August to Sept 2020. Talk about great incentive!

Thinking about February or April vacation plans? Did you know that right now it’s cheaper to fly to London than Florida for Feb vacation? 😱
RIGHT NOW, there is a 24 hr airfare sale on flights to London!
Feb vacation week: Round trip airfare Boston to London Heathrow is pricing out around $350 for basic economy or $450ish for tickets with seat selections. From London, take a few days and visit Scotland, Amsterdam or Paris via train. So many options that I can help you plan.
Want to visit London and Paris? Many fares flying into London and out of Paris for $480 round trip from Boston. ✈️

Incredible food. Stunning views. Relaxation. Beaches. What do you need for the perfect vacation?

I enjoyed the most incredible lunch at Hotel Caruso today in Ravello. Homemade Margherita pizza to start. Pasta with prawns, tomatoes, and lemon zest. For dessert, cheesecake topped with pears and berries. Honestly, the best pasta that I’ve ever tasted. Incredible views of the infinity pool overlooking the Amalfi Coast.

What dreams are made of! One of the most stunning properties that I’ve seen in the world is Le Sirenuse in Positano. The weather in Italy has been spectacular for the month of October. Even though hotels are getting ready to close up next week for the winter, people are still swimming in the water. If you’re thinking of booking a trip to Italy and the Amalfi Coast, now is the time to call to start making plans. These properties are booking for next year.

What do you think about authentic food tours with locals? We had fabulous food and pizza in Naples, but we also had a lot of fun being introduced to some local traditions.
➡️ First, Italian singing. One of our wonderful hostesses was an actress and singer and she loved getting into character.
➡️ Second, a game of Tombola which is Italian Bingo and they use beans as placeholders.
➡️ Third, Italian gestures. Sorry, I didn’t get that on video. I was too busy gesturing. 😬

A visit to Naples isn’t complete without visiting Gambrinus Caffe. Seriously...the pastries are just incredible!
One of my favorite things is the “suspended coffee” tin that they have in the front of the store. When you buy a coffee, you can donate a second cup for someone less fortunate to come in and warm up. ❤️

This is what it’s all about...pizza making in Naples! The fabulous pizza maker at Antico Borgo ai Vergino in Naples spoke no English, but absolutely got his point across about how to make a good pizza. The mozzarella is incredible, crust is light, and the tomatoes are bursting with flavor.
24/10/2019
Wow, what an exciting tour of Naples I experienced today! Here is a great video that I took with our fabulous tour guide so you can hear an Italian explain.

For the next 8 days, I’ll be spending my time on the Amalfi Coast researching hotels, excursions and fabulous food to help plan upcoming client trips. Who’s ready to plan to trip to Italy next year?

Thank you to everyone who is following along on my travel page! For those of you who don’t know, I used to use this page for all of my creative endeavors and teaching classes. If you’ve subscribed to this page in the past, I invite you to stick around as I post about my other obsession, travel!
I have the great privilege of creating incredible custom trips for clients to Europe and other destinations worldwide. Not only do I work with couples and families, but my specialty is working with food allergy families.
My niche of “food allergy travel” developed because of my daughter, Mia’s, severe allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, egg, and dairy. I learned to adapt to traveling with her domestically in the States and then Internationally with her as I wanted her to be unafraid of seeing the world.
I know the amount of detail that is necessary to ensure a safe and relaxing trip: hotels choices that may include kitchens, restaurant suggestions, local medical contact information, allergy card suggestions, bringing food in a plane, documentation that you should bring along from your doctor, etc. I have a very special I place in my heart for food allergies families that I’ve helped. I enjoy sharing my knowledge to help others get out explore!
In addition, I’ve had many friends, family, and previous clients ask me about helping them with other trips to the Caribbean, South America, Disney, etc. I’d be happy to help with other destinations as well. Just ask.
I look forward to sharing more of my adventures as well as sharing some of my clients experiences. I encourage you to reach out and let me know what I can do to help!
Here’s a picture of Mia in her favorite places: Florence, Italy and London!
