Living in the Middle East, I’m exposed to essentially the best hotels and service in the world. Indeed, I could tell you a handful of nice properties I visited while residing in the States. Eight years into life in Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi, I […]

Hubs and I were lucky enough to travel to Iceland this summer and after a small amount of research I knew Dill would be on our list. Reservation? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Online reservation that was confirmed quickly. Given how far out in advance we […]
