No other city truly can compare with London – brilliant in offering a rich cultural history dating back centuries to a modern day city to which people from all over the world aspire to be able to move to and live.  I fly often to London every month but cherish the years my family and I lived in London – a few streets down from Harrods in Knightsbridge.  A wonderful and exciting time with family!

If you plan a trip to Israel, top on your list is a visit to the sacred city of Jerusalem, second should be a visit to Masada.  You can combine a visit to Masada along with the Dead Sea, but plan on a few hours to capture the spirit and understand what happened here, so many hundreds of years ago.

Milan is the fashion capital of Italy, if not the world.  Many plan trips to Milan just to indulge in the many shops that sell high quality leather purses, shoes and clothing.There is always something for everyone and I have found their clothing and leather goods to be very reasonable and of high quality.  For women, even in the local grocery store, one can pick up non-run hosiery that will last for months!

Munich is the largest city in the Bavarian state of Germany.  It ranks as the third largest city followed by Berlin and Hamburg.    Of all the cities in Germany, I find Munich to be the most “tour-friendly” since I can just walk or bicycle myself around town.  Street maps are an easy read though always on a first visit to any international destination, I enjoy taking the “hop on hop off” bus tour to get a true overview of the city and mark those destinations that I wish to return to explore further.

Norway is one of the most beautiful countries in all the world to visit – not only to experience the beauty of the fjords, northern lights and the midnight sun during the summer, but the people themselves are authentic and represent those qualities of kindness, integrity, and strength of character. The visitor is touched emotionally as these gentle people are genuine, filled with wisdom and sincerity for they are but a reflection of Nature's beauty.

Ok … I understand – where has the gold gone as we enter our “Golden Years.”  For many of us our 401K is unrecognizable as we have seen its value plummet within the past few years.  Yes, it does seem the sky is falling – and we do not have another thirty to forty years to recoup our losses.

I so enjoy my visits to Germany – actually seven cities that I frequent – but I had no Idea that I would enjoy Stuttgart – “The City of Cars”!  Historically, it is my hubby who is in love with the auto-industry but after a visit to the Mercedes-Benz Museum and recently opened state of the art, Porsche Museum, I have become an avid fan of these impeccably designed vehicles!  View the legendary 356, 550,911 and 917 models! Also my favorite – to finally view the original “Beetle” – brings back memories of those college days!

A recent news item has brought this concern to the front again as the DOT (Department of Transportation) has just expanded the rules requiring the reporting of incidents involving live animals during flights.  The rules only apply to dogs and cats. These new regulations will take effect on January 1, 2015.
