Starbucks, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Henann Resort, Bohol, Philippines

Nothing but leisurely activities were listed on the agenda for our 6 day trip over New Year’s in Bohol, Philippines, and I knew enjoying a club sandwich in a relaxing environment wouldn’t be a difficult task to check off.  To my surprise, however, a decent club was a hard meal to find; while everywhere served […]
