Kimpton InTouch Invites You to Raid the Mini Bar

by

I have stayed at Kimpton hotels a handful times in the past and find that they are an overall pleasant experience. Not only are they very nicely decorated with a boutique hotel feel, they also have tremendous customer service. Add in their welcome receptions, great restaurants and loyalty program benefits and Kimpton is a safe bet for your hotel stays. Kimpton would very … [Read more...] about Kimpton InTouch Invites You to Raid the Mini Bar

[Friday Photo] Sunset over the Lagoon in Moorea, French Polynesia

by

Clouds make for better sunsets, but only to a certain extent. If you have storm clouds blocking the sun outright, you might have no sunset at all. If there are no clouds in the sky, you are limited by the amount of color you may see at sunset. Cumulus clouds are nice and attract light from the sun as it goes down and provide a contrast from the sky as the sunsets. … [Read more...] about [Friday Photo] Sunset over the Lagoon in Moorea, French Polynesia

[Friday Photo] Panoramic View of Salzburg, Austria from Kehlsteinhaus

by

At my home I have a wall covered in canvas prints of photos I have taken during my travels. Digital photos printed on canvas create a beautiful effect that looks somewhere in between a photo and a painting, which is forgiving for flaws in photos while also very eye catching when I have visitors. Every year or two I add photos to the wall to include updated destinations from my … [Read more...] about [Friday Photo] Panoramic View of Salzburg, Austria from Kehlsteinhaus
