How to: Vacation Apartment Rentals
So you’re thinking of renting an apartment, townhouse, villa, or hut on the beach instead of doing the usual hotel thing for your next vacation. The question is where to start and how to do it. I won’t say we’re experts by any means. We have ventured out of the comfort zone that Expedia, Travelocity…

One night in Strasbourg
Only one night here and I am already regretting the shortness of our stay. All information suggested we could see the sights in a day or so…and that’s all we booked. No where did it suggest such character or quaintness. You can read this as ‘cuteness’, I just didn’t want to use the word best…

A Louvre-ly day
Forgive the really poor play on words. Fatigue is already settling in and yesterday was definitely a quieter day as we needed a little rest and relaxation.

Free Louvre Sunday?
That pic of the church outside our kitchen window completely eliminates the need for an alarm clock, especially a snooze option. At now 10:15am we are reminded of how non-churchy we are. No hangover though. Sure we could have partaken in a bottle or two of wine amongst the masses at the base of the…

Good Morning Paris!
Finally, a little sleep. Those plane rides never make it really conducive to getting quality sleep which put a damper on the two of us staying out late on a Friday night. We did muscle through though. 3PM arrival at Terminal 3 and an eventual 5PM arrival at our apartment. 6th floor with a nice…
