The travel recap of 2018 continues with spring and summer trips that included a new destination and two of my favorite cities in the world:
This year marked a special family celebration – my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. They wed in Hong Kong so naturally, we brought it back to where it all began.
Here were the articles from Hong Kong:
◦ Ultimate Luxury Hotel Suite: Tamar Suite at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong
◦ Room Service at Its Finest at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong
◦ Best Dishes from the Most Elegant Chinese Restaurant: Man Wah at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong
◦ Best & Most Premium Weekday Lunch Buffet at the Clipper Lounge of the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong
◦ Toritama: The Best, Tastiest, and Most Authentic Japanese Yakitori Restaurant in Hong Kong
I took the month off from traveling in May to catch up with my nephews and niece before they left on their summer vacation. The month was also my opportunity to reset, cleanse, and catch up with my own health and physical fitness before a full summer of travel.
My travel goal each year is to discover a new destination, whether that is a new city or even a new country. Copenhagen, Denmark was this year’s new city and new country to add to my list. Plus, that was combined with a trip back to my favorite European city, Madrid!
