Review: United BusinessFirst Milan-Newark
Since we were staying right across from the Milan Airport Terminal, we arrived the airport only about 90 minutes before departure. There really wasn’t any point in going to the lounge if you can just sleep in your hotel room. Introduction: Living the Italian Dream United Club Terminal E – …
Hotel Review: Sheraton Milan Malpensa
We finished off our time in Italy with a quick stay at the Sheraton Milan Malpensa. Our United flight to Newark left early the following morning so it was an absolute ‘no brainer’ to avoid the sometimes hour long journey to Malpensa. This is especially true because the hotel is …
Focal Point: 6 Pictures of St. Moritz, Switzerland
As I tried to speed through this trip report, I realized that I forgot to mention our fantastic day trip to St. Moritz. St. Moritz is about a two hour drive from the Menaggio villa, and the plan was to take a ride on the beautiful Bernina Express. But of course due …
Hotel Review: Crowne Plaza – Milan City

Our Stay in a Million $ Lake Como Villa
Sometimes the best places to stay aren’t available on points. Sometimes there are far greater experiences to be had outside of a hotel. This is one of those experiences of a lifetime that I can’t put a price tag on. Our four night stay in this Lake Como Villa definitely stands …
Christmas in the City
As I mentioned before in part 1 of this two part series, we dropped off our bags at the Intercontinental Barclay and headed out to explore the city. It was an absolutely frigid morning in the Big Apple with temperatures well below freezing. Consequently, walking along the streets meant going in …
Hotel Review: The Intercontinental Barclay NY
This past Christmas, my sister and I took a quick trip to New York City at the start of the winter holidays and our trip to India (which I will write about a little later). My sister had never been to New York City during the holiday season and I had …
