Greetings! I recently paid a visit to Eataly, an Italian gastronomical paradise of epic proportions.

Greetings from the Royal Naval Dockyard Bermuda. Located in the Atlantic Ocean just 650 miles east of Cape Hatteras, N.C., Bermuda has the distinction of being the oldest remaining British Overseas Territory. It’s only a 2 hour flight from New York City & Washington, D.C., 2 1/2 hours by plane from Orlando, Florida; and about 7 hours […]
