India is one of those places which evokes strong feelings through her sights, smells and experiences. There are also many ways in which you can choose to first meet her. Many go on small or large group tours with fellow countrymen; some venture out on their own; and then there is rail travel. Cardoza-Bungey Travel [...]

Posted in Travel, tagged Cruise Business, Crystal Cruises, San Francisco on September 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Cruise Business Picking Up in San Francisco (San Francisco Chronicle – September 24, 2010) Love to hear more cruise ships will be stopping in San Francisco in 2011. Crystal Cruises, a luxury cruise line, is one great example of increased interest. This is both a sign of how the cruise business is doing (a corner [...]
ZERMATT: A SKIERS PARADISE

Switzerland is one of my favorite summer destinations. Unbelievable scenery; excellent organic and simple food (Italian, French, German and collage of these); art and culture; and the best train infrastructure around. So I was excited to have one of my clients ask me pull together a one-week ski trip to Switzerland for the end of [...]
THE UNEXPECTED: SURFING IN MUNICH

I was living in Munich back in 2003 when I was first told about a surfing spot by a local. My initial “huh?” response was immediately followed by “I must go see this”. There are a couple of key surfing locations, but one of the more popular is at Haus der Kunst, an English Garden [...]

I was fortunate to recently spend four glorious days in Istanbul. Entering this city by ship @ 6:00 in the morning is spectacular. The air is clear and the views are endless as you sail along on the Sea of Marmara up to the Bosphorus and past the Golden Horn. The captain on Azamara Quest [...]

I recently came back from a wonderful 10-day Athens-to-Istanbul Azamara Club Cruise. This was a relaxing way to see some of the key regional highlights. So how did I decide on this particular cruise and cruise line? Size of Ship: At up to 700 passengers, this is a fairly small ship. We went early in the [...]

We just got back from visiting Istanbul, and images continue to bombard me (in a good way). We absolutely loved the boutique hotel we stayed at – Witt Istanbul Suites (http://www.wittistanbul.com/). By American standards this is a 4* hotel, but I found the services and the classic, modern design (both beautiful and functional) to be [...]

After years of interest, I am finally in Berlin. This city is now known for its diversity in architecture, cultural events, art, and people. What was once “the place to be seen” in the 1920′s and 1930′s, is once again a hot spot in Europe. That said, you have to brace yourself for the amount [...]

Cavallo Point (San Francisco Chronicle – May 9, 2010): Cavallo Point is an extremely charming hotel right under/next to the Golden Gate Bridge (near Sausalito). The Colonial Revival two-story buildings surround a lovely park. But if that style is not your thing, there are several modern facilities located on the hillside. Not only does the whole setting [...]
