Destination: Dominican Republic – The North Coast Puerto Plata
Located on the north side of the Dominican Republic (DR) on the Atlantic Ocean. Puerto Plata is a small but charming town. Except for a few attractions, not an exciting destination in itself, but does offer one of the nicer swimmable beaches in the DR. It makes a good gateway to the majority of what is to be found on … Read More
Casa Colonial Beach & Spa – Puerto Plata
Hands down, this is the best hotel in Puerto Plata. So for me, this is the only option when spending a few nights in town. And an SLH property, so it is a boutique hotel, and not a price that is overly expensive. I was surprised to find out that the hotel was built only about 14 years ago. A … Read More

Destination: Frankfurt, Germany
When I told our travel friend Jeff that I was planning a 2 day stop in Frankfurt, he plainly asked “Why are you going to Frankfurt ?”… and now I know why. Frankfurt is not a bad place, just awfully dull, pleasant but uninteresting. And it may have the worst of German food to offer. Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is the … Read More

Destination: Seattle Washington
A this moment, I am just getting this page up and running, since I do have a few good bits to add shortly. But overall I am at a loss of a really good hotel to suggest, at least one in the main city. Normally I would suggest Inn at the Market, but it’s NO PETS policy is rather strange. … Read More

Nobis Hotel – Copenhagen
Having enjoyed several Nobis Hotels in Stockholm I was curious about their new Hotel Nobis – Copenhagen. And upon entering it had that New Hotel Smell… and a few dangling wires here and there as well. Like a freshly planted garden, the hotel still needs a few months to grow into itself… but it is a beautiful space, and the … Read More
