With storybook architecture, the Czech Republic’s capital city is steeped in history. It’s easy to reach—we flew non-stop from New York’s JFK. And easy to navigate—athletic shoes are a MUST for wandering the cobblestone streets.  We cashed in points and stayed at the Augustine...

Our first getaway in a long while with no traveling partners, business calls, or grandchildren. Just us.

The city is small-ish, walkable, clean, and loaded with interesting sights, great food, and history. Recently, I tagged along with my husband on a work trip. It was a perfect time of the year to visit—sunny spring weather, blooming tulips, flowering trees. I cannot wait to go back! Here are a few...

Instead, one afternoon, we popped into the Italian Renaissance-style hotel to grab a drink and marvel at its majestic architecture. Lucky for us, we met Maria Ospina.

But, I know myself. For various reasons, I won’t make the rigorous trip to the coldest, highest, driest, windiest continent on earth. And so, I must live vicariously through Lynne Warne. Last November, Lynne and her husband set sail on Silversea for...
