2011 was a great year for me in terms of travel, family, and work. While there were a huge number of experiences to choose from, here are my top ten favorite adventures that came from this incredible year.
International Wine Travel: Eco Tourism in the South of France
Many of us think we need to travel to Paris or Champagne to experience what France has to offer in the way of wine travel. I’ve been to both, and they were great, but I find the small, less known wine regions featuring family owned wineries to be much more intriguing.
The New Club Med – Nude Hedonists or Family Friendly?
What is Club Med anyway? It’s worth a look, that’s for sure.
The Paris Catacombs – 6 Million Human Skeletons Up Close
When people began to get sick in Paris in the late 1700s, they did the natural thing – dig up all the 6 million corpses and artistically arrange them in an abandoned stone quarry under the city.
An Expat or Travellers Best Friend – the Kindle
Good Lord, I’m in love with my Kindle! It’s my hero! I’ve been rescued from a country with no bookstores and given access to the largest bookstore in the world from anywhere I can access wifi.
A Weekend in Paris – 70 Euros of Fun and Culture
About 70 Euro provided three very full days of sightseeing in Paris
