French Polynesia
Fresh off the plane from his trip to Tahiti, Mr. Herff, looking tan and relaxed in his crisp summer linens, had nothing but praise for French Polynesia! After a ten-day tour of the islands, he was all smiles and left the rest of us envious of his island adventure. Though it had been several decades since he had last been...
San Francisco
San Francisco is a city we just can’t get enough of and surely never will. The views, the fog, the infectious hippy vibe, the architecture, the food. The list goes on and on. We have been more than a dozen times and find it enchanting every time from every angle. It certainly must be a contender for one of the...
Romantic Getaways
Another Valentine’s Day is upon us and people are rushing around buying floral bouquets and chocolates for their sweetheart. The restaurants are all booked, and the grocery stores are packed with people gathering things for their romantic dinners at home.

Marrakech
When our fearless leader, Mr. Herff, recently returned from Marrakech he was full of praise and wonder. He said Marrakech and the surrounding area is “infinitely curiosity filling,” a place of colors, sounds, smells that are stirring and splendid.

Pleasantly surprised and absolutely enchanted are phrases that come to mind when I think about my visit to Malta. Unfortunately, too short is another phrase that I think of as I was only there for 2 brief whirlwind days. Though Malta is one of the world’s smallest countries, an archipelago found between Sicily and Northern Africa (coming in at about...
Cruising The Venetian Lagoon
A common theme in the world of travel is that it is better for one to spend time and money collecting experiences rather than things. Experiences can enrich our lives so much more than the mere accumulation of assorted sundries. This thought kept coming back to me the past few weeks as I spent 10 blissful days collecting experiences with...
Zen Time At Our National Parks
Last week I returned from a short family trip out to Big Bend National Park. Big Bend, in far west Texas, has long been a special place for me. Though that trip was my fourth visit to the park, it was the first time I had been with a cell phone, let alone a smartphone. And as our phones had...
Oh Canada!
Canada seems to be on everyone’s minds lately and rightly so! This year marks what is being billed as Canada’s 150th birthday. Encouraged by a huge marketing push, celebrations and events across the country, as well as a general desire to see a beautiful place, travelers are packing their bags and making their way to this North American country in...
Tales From New Zealand
Last month our dear colleague, Laura, was able to sneak away from the office for a 10-day trip to New Zealand. New Zealand is a much buzzed about destination that has been at the forefront of traveler’s bucket lists for a while now. Peter Jackson is often given credit for putting the remote Pacific islands on those lists. Peter Jackson,...
