Fairmont El San Juan Hotel, San Juan, Puerto Rico

As parents of a 1 and 3.5 year old heading out on a beach vacation just outside of mainland America, our main goals are to have fun, stay safe, and stay sane. It can be a lot of work to accomplish all three, especially when your kids are overly sick. Nevertheless, Rachel and I enlisted […]

YES, I absolutely loved Zurich, but 95 degrees in a convertible while driving through urban congestion doesn’t exactly exude elation. Switzerland’s infrastructure has to be some of the best in the world, and the […]
