Planning
Closer to the Countryside
“We’re looking at the kind of traveler who wants to experience things up close; our motto is ‘slow down and see the world in person,’” says Kathy Stewart, Trip Planner for Butterfield & Robinson. What does a luxury tour company mean by “slow down”? In the case of Butterfield & Robinson it’s roughly 2 to […]
Local Connections in Luxury
If you want to visit an exotic locale and expand your horizons, I say that’s great. But you still might be nervous about pushing your comfort zone and might prefer the security of a tour. Well, we’ve found two companies now offering the luxury tour experience without the luxury “bubble”. We’ll profile the first this […]
Make an Effort: Traveling for Valentine’s Day
“No, I didn’t forget…” How many of us have said that on February 13 and had to lie through our teeth? I will admit, this has never happened to me. Even when I wasn’t in a relationship, I’d have flowers delivered to each single girl in my small newsroom with a note saying “no girl […]

Just a Little Pinch
The things we’re willing to do for the love of travel. We’ll stand in line to be searched, scanned and even frisked by Transportation Security Administration representatives. We’ll pay for the privilege of checking a bag or some in-flight entertainment to pass the time in the air. And in this case, we’ll even go to […]
Flight Cancelations
The weather on the east coast of the United States this past week has reminded me of something important: you should always be prepared in case your flight is canceled. So, I scoured the internet looking for the best examples of what to do if your flight is canceled due to weather. Of course, in […]
A Date in DC
I will admit that one of the perks of living in the National Capital area is we have access to the metropolitan life whenever we want it. I will also admit that being a commuter and driving 50 miles each way to work every day doesn’t have me chomping at the bit to run into the city […]
